History of Photography Timeline

| biscan07

One event that has impacted my life was the creation/start of the Canon EOS systems, because I use them almost daily. They are the cameras we have in class, and the cameras that my mom has at home. Something that is impressive in Polaroids development of the first colour instant film, because people no longer have to wait for their photos to develop and they have their photos in colour. I think it is impressive that National Geographic started so long ago, and they are still a huge cooperation today.

Warhol/Pop Art

| biscan07

  1. Pop Art is photographs of things that are current popular culture. The images are edited to stand out, and meant to be vibrant and colourful.
  2.  I think Keith Haring’s work is considered Pop Art because it definitely had contrasting colours, and lot of colours. But, most of his artwork shows human expression (even without Facial features) and human expression should always be considered Pop Culture.
  3. As I previously stated, most of his artworks show human expression. They have the human figure but in multiple different colours and emotions, however none of them have facial features. You can try to see feel the expressions based on the detail lines around the bodies or the poses of the bodies.
  4. I chose him because even though his artwork looks simple, it is still very complex, and can be interpreted in different ways. I also find it interesting that none of his figures have faces, and I wonder why that is,

Alphabet Photography

  1. I learned how to use the photoshop healing tool to clean an image
  2. I learned how to use Lightroom to rate and edit the photos lighting easier
  3. I learned that HDR Photography is when every part of an image is evenly exposed, and most of the time very vibrant and saturated
  4. I learned how to take good studio portraits
  5. I learned how to underexpose the camera to ‘Paint with Light’

Fill Flash

| biscan07

Fill Flash is when you use the flash to light the shadows when the background is brighter than the subject. This is so the whole picture is evenly exposed. If your background is more exposed than the subject, then your subject will be shadowed, and the photo won’t look good. You used the flash to expose the subject so that you can see everything in the photo without having to underexpose your background to see the subject.
