Chapter II: PHOTOGRAPHY

Lesson 1: Essentials of Photography

The sight is the most important human sense, at least the one that we give more
value. Generally, humans perceive what is around them by processing images. That is why since
the beginning of human consciousness we have tried to capture what we see to retain it and be
able to see it again. Photography appears to solve that necessity and through the years it has
become an important communication and artistic tool. A picture is worth a thousand words. We
can explain everything better with image because it is a faithful reproduction from reality. Along
the decades we've perfected the skills and the technique of photography and, thanks to science,
creativity and investigation, we've got colour, better resolution and an easier way to take pictures
since nowadays when everybody have a camera in our cell phones.
Obviously, the pictures content is important but the way that you capture that
content has the same or more importance than the content itself. There are rules, and these rules
are there to be learned. In this lecture note explains the essential content to became a good
photographer and make yourself proud of your pictures whether portraits, landscapes, models or
whatever you want.

VISUAL COMMUNICATION

What is a Photograph?

A photograph is the (negative) image of a person or a thing printed onto photosensitive


paper; it is the product of an optical and chemical process.
The name originates from the Greek words “φως”/ phos (“light”), and “γραφις”/ graphis
(“graphic”), which together make “drawing with light” or “light-sketch”.

History

Even in the Stone Age, people attempted to document specific moments, objects or things.
An example is the 20 thousand-yearold buffalo sketch on the wall of the Altamira cave in Spain.
These works of art were mostly created for religious reasons or were used as warning signs,
memorials. Then, with the appearance of writing (2nd millenary BC.) a stronger cause-effect
relation occurred in relation to the creation of paintings. Later, in the Renaissance age, aesthetics
became important.
The turning point occurred in the middle of the 19th century, with technical images which
already were, practically speaking, productions of photography. Here the physical relationship
between image and its maker became evident. The photograph served as a real evidence of a
once existing person, object, or an event. At first, there was an effort to make photos with the look
of paintings, then the differences between photos and paintings were recognized, and the aim
had become to achieve a photographic effect.

The Significance of Photos

The significance of photos is hardly debatable in our age. Their absence would certainly
make a difference, as they are practically present in every field of our daily life. They have become
an integral part of our routine. Try to picture a newspaper without photos or an internet portal
without photographs.
The influential conservative German daily paper called Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung,
which has been published since 1949, was selected as the third best newspaper of the world in
an international survey at the millennium (following Financial Times and New York Times). The
paper was, however, only published in black-and-white until 2007, and it very rarely featured a
picture on its cover. After 2007, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, as a reaction to the
challenges of the market, significantly reshaped its appearance; coloured photos and modern font
have been used in it since.

The Role and Use of Images

Just like linguistic symbols, other social and visual signs are also part of the
communication environment that surrounds social human life. It would be hard to think of an age
or a culture in which pictures did not have a role in social life; they were always used in religion,
art, ideologies or communication, or – just like today – they were also daily commodities.

The most famous work of Leonardo da Vinci (1452-


1519) is Mona Lisa. This is one of the most perfect female
portraits in which the strict discipline of the triangular
composition is resolved by the imaginary landscape fading
into mist in the background. The half serene, half stern
facial expression is made lifelike by the delicate effects of
light and shade.

It is only possible to make credible statements about the use of photographs if one is
familiar with its functions. Based on the practice of photo research, we see that other than its
function to attract attention, it has the role to call for contemplation or to give pleasure. The artistic
works of photography inspire meditation, whereas photos in newspapers meant for mass
“consumption” are only intended for one viewing. Furthermore, there are pictures for private use
with their relevant functions.

IMAGE COMPOSITION

Composition is one of the fundamental as well as easiest ways to creating better images.
You will not need any extra equipment neither expensive camera with sophisticated controls. Just
follow a few simple rules, and your pictures will look much better and more interesting. In other
hand, almost all defects of photos taken can be later corrected by software, including exposure,
contrast, colour balance, but unsuccessful composition of objects taken can‘t be repaired.
Most modern cameras have no optical viewfinder and user have to use LCD display to
compose picture. This causes inconvenience due a flat view (it is difficult to understand the
environment using it), but you can see exact image of future picture. In addition, the display can
be accompanied by various guidance grids and indicators. Professional cameras are usually
equipped with optical viewfinders in addition to LCD displays.

֍ The Rule of Thirds

Let divide image into nine equal parts by grids. A human eye normally focuses into objects
that are placed in the intersections of the grids and such images look more pleasant. Most of
modern digital cameras have grid of thirds on the viewfinder or screen.
More advanced sort of that rule is Golden Ratio rule, which states that any human and
nature beauty is based on the aspect ratio 1:1.618.
Similar to Golden Ratio are so called golden triangles, along which corners and lines can
be oriented objects in the image. You can google for it and see practical examples.

֍ Lines

Most of images have some leading lines that catch the eye and indicate the path of the
visual perception. The lines can be real (geometric) or imagined and go vertical, horizontal,
diagonal or even curved. If image has no clear lines, the observer can’t find easily starting point
in the image and lose any interest to it. It is considered that the horizontal lines and landscapes
make peaceful and restful impression. In contrast, vertical lines, poles, tall trees and skyscrapers
cause activity and a sense of worry.
Diagonal lines and curves can create impression of change and dynamism. They also are
useful to make extra depth to your scene. The similar rules recommend making several points of
interest in the image. Having visited the main object, the eye goes to secondary objects, which
have to be placed in suitable points and in required order. It is very important to keep horizontal
and vertical lines as much in line with the sides of your image as possible.
A very powerful method of improving the composition of photos is the use of lines. Properly
used, lines can significantly increase the impact of images. Lines serve to affect photographic
composition in two ways. First, they serve to create a mood. Second, they lead the eye through
the photograph. By affecting mood, lines add emotional content to images. By leading the viewer’s
eye, they keep the viewer’s attention focused on the image.

When dealing with lines, the subject can be broken into the following types:
 Horizontal
 Vertical
 Diagonal
 Jagged and irregular

Mood: Horizontal
Horizontal lines tend to indicate a sense of homeostasis (lack of change). This use in an
image often projects a feeling that an image, or part of one, is somehow frozen at a point in time.
Horizontal lines should be used when a photographer wants to impart a sentiment of timelessness
or lack of change to an image. In addition, they can serve to provide a contrast with more dynamic
parts of an image. Examples can be found in buildings, horizons, and fallen objects (e.g. trees).
Mood: Vertical
TLE2 (TECHNOLOGY AND LIVELIHOOD EDUCATION W/ ENTREPRENEURSHIP)
By NICEA EUNICE SERVENTO
Vertical lines can project either a mood of stability or peace. When projecting a mood of
stability, they often function similarly to horizontal lines. This can convey an implication of
substance or permanence. Examples of vertical lines used to impart a mood of stability can be
found in rock formations, power line poles, and vertical lines of buildings.
Proper use of vertical lines can also impart an impression of peace and tranquility.
Examples of this use are trees in a fog shrouded forest, old fence posts on an isolated prairie,
and a figure on a secluded beach in the early morning.

Mood: Diagonal
Diagonal lines can convey a sense of action or make an image more dynamic. For this
reason, diagonals are a very powerful tool. Their power resides in their ability to grab the attention
of the viewer. The viewer’s eyes tend to travel back and forth along diagonals. Diagonal lines can
be formed, not only of objects such as streets or sidewalks, but also of color. For instance, a
diagonal section of color can add drama to a flower image. Examples of diagonals are plentiful:
roads, streams, waves, and branches are but a few examples of objects that can be utilized in a
diagonal manner.

Mood: Jagged and Irregular


Jagged and irregular lines take us one step further on the continuum of emotion and
feeling. While diagonals move us into the area of the dynamic, jagged and irregular lines often
impart a sense of unease, tension, or fear to the viewer of the image. Heavy use of jagged and
irregular lines can cause a negative feeling in the viewer (which may be exactly what the
photographer intended). Therefore, they are the tools of choice for the photographer who wants
to create a feeling of disquiet or agitation in the viewer. Examples can be found in roots, a
crocodile’s teeth, stark mountain peaks, and the twisted metal of an automobile wreck.

Leading the Eye


As powerful as lines are in helping to create a mood in an image, they become even more
powerful when they are also used to direct the viewer’s attention. When using lines to direct the
viewer’s attention, two rules need to be followed. First, make sure that the lines always point
toward the most important object in the image. This will direct the viewer’s attention directly to
that object. Second, make sure that the lines never point outside of the image. Lines that point
outside the image will make the viewer’s eye leave the image. This weakens the image and may
result in the viewer losing interest in the image entirely.

֍ Framing

Images look better when objects of interest are framed by other, secondary objects. The
eye easier finds a focus point and stays there for a longer time. In practice, framing can be used
when shooting sky, water, forest, mountains, and other large natural objects.

֍ Background and Image depth

Almost in any cases you need to avoid busy backgrounds and foreign things or even
colours in the scene that can divert attention from main objects. The image has to be as simple
as possible to percept it easily. Human eye tends to reject any chaotic in placement or colours
images.
One of the methods is to fill image by your object as much as possible leaving less space
for background. On example, a portrait looks more interesting when person’s head fills almost all
image frame, and boring if the person competes with other surrounding objects - a chair, a lamp
or even his own boots.
The similar rule says to leave some spare space (negative space) in image to rest. The
space could be piece of blue sky, water, grass or simple dark shadow. In the worst case it is
possible to set focus only to particular objects by using camera controls, and leave background
in a fog out of focus.

֍ Symmetry, Patterns, and Rule of Odds

Images can look impressive when objects here have strict vertical or horizontal symmetry,
for example object and it’s reflection on the water.
Symmetric geometric shapes and patterns can be used to. They could be found widely
both in the man made surroundings and the nature. Symmetry and patterns give image harmony
and sense of order. You can often play with colour and texture patterns obtaining special rhythm
in the image too.
Rule of Odds says that scenes with odd elements are more appealing than similar with
even objects. For example, group of three or five birds look more interesting than two or four. The
explanation of this phenomena is that eye tends to find center of scene and focus on the central
figure. In case of even objects, eye focuses on empty space between objects.

֍ View in different angles

When you take photos of close things, you can choose various viewing angles – from
bottom to top. Viewing angles can dramatically change accents in the image, and objects or
people in the scene will have enhanced upper or bottom parts. By selecting the viewing angle you
can visually reduce some parts of the object and enlarge another, changing perspective and
perception of image.
The angle of view in photography is an angle that being the point of view of an image were
recorded by the camera. The angle of view in photography is one of many criteria that creates an
impression and power full meaning from image.
In the world of photography, understanding of the angle of view of picture is necessary.
By recognizing some kind of angle of view, a photographer can get more experiment to the image
object that you want to be taken, so it is likely to get a bigger impression of an image can be
achieved.
Here are 5 kinds of angle of view that well known in photography.
1. Bird Eye
- Bird eye is an angle that is used to create vast impression of image were made by
objects in your photos. Generally bird’s eye angle done in a place that has a height
a more distant objects separately from the camera. Bird’s eye angle is widely used
in landscape photography because it has elements of a very strong sense of space
compared to other viewpoints.

2. High Angle
- High angle is an angle that is used to create a low impression of the image object.
High angle is the angle of the picture were taken from above the eye line. The
camera is placed above, highlight the object from top to the bottom. This makes
the audience feel the subject of photography has widened perspective from the top
and smaller at the bottom.

3. Eye level Angle
- Eye level angle is an angle of view that are commonly used by many people in
general. The camera is held by the photographer and shoot at the same height
level with the eyes of the objects that will be the object of the photo. This forms a
flat angle between objects with camera. Shooting a photo from eye level angle of
the subject is the quickest way to help your viewers connect emotionally with a
photo subject. By literally, putting them at the photo subjects level, you can create
an instinctual response. It also allows you to see more of the subject photos than
shooting downward or upward. This straight-on angle also helps to prevent
distortion caused by perspective or angle of view.

4. Low Angle
- Low angle is an angle that is used to create impression of height, sturdy and
elegant. The shooting is done from the bottom of the object of picture, so that the
object is higher than the camera. This creates the impression of images
perspective that have up impression and form like a cone. Low angle usually used
to take pictures with the object of building skyscrapers or towers.

5. Frog Eye
- Frog eye is an angle that is used to create the impression of majestic and powerful.
The image is taken with the camera closer as close to the floor. This angle is quite
difficult to take especially for the type of camera that does not have flexible LCD
screen.

LIGHT

Usually in photography, we use three main types of light: natural light, studio light and
flash. The light is most important in black and white (monochrome) photography, where
interpretation of image depends mainly on shadows and highlights.
There are some useful rules of light in photography:
֍ The broader the light source, the softer the light. The narrower the source, the harder the light.
֍ The closer the light source, the softer the light. The farther the source, the harder the light.
֍ The brighter sky, the darker shadows. Clouds reduce shadows, and fog eliminates them at
all.
֍ The light falls off as the square of the distance. If you bring light far as twice, the lightness on
object surface will decrease four times.
֍ Light from side emphasizes object’s texture. Front light masks roughness.
֍ Shadows create volume in image.
And, of course, remember that light has a colour. Daylight colour in the morning differs
from daylight in the afternoon.

 Natural Light
Usually in photography, we use three main types of light: natural light, studio light and
flash. The light is most important in black and white (monochrome) photography, where
interpretation of image depends mainly on shadows and highlights.
During only rare periods (e.g. bright winter and early spring days) sunlight gives strong
contrast between object front and shadows, acting like key light in studio. But in most cases
sunlight is dissipated in the atmosphere and creates a smooth backlight, with soft shadows.
When the sun is behind object, the main attention goes to outline of object and light effects
on it, increasing separation between the object and surrounding.
Some additional tools may be used to reduce shadows or highlight particular areas of the
object, on example reflector. The reflector reflects light like a mirror in the desired direction, and
it is easy to manage light with it. As a reflector you can use light-colored wall of the house or other
bright objects too. Handy reflector is easy to make from a white paper sheet, aluminum foil or
even white plastic or linen.

TLE2 (TECHNOLOGY AND LIVELIHOOD EDUCATION W/ ENTREPRENEURSHIP)

 Studio Light
Light can be used to enhance or hide particular objects in the image. In the studio usually
three lights are used for key (main) light, fill light and backlight. Various combinations of these
lights can produce different light effects.
On example, using only key light you can enhance contours and particular areas of object,
achieving very high object/background contrast ratio. Using extra key lights, on example 3 or 5
instead one, presence of shadows will be minimized and you will be able to shoot quickly series
of photos with only minimal adjustments, but result will have less contrast and details.

 Flashlight
Flash is a device producing short impulses of artificial light to help illuminate a scene.
Duration of such impulses is approximately 1 millisecond (1/1000s).
Flashlight is used usually for:
֍ illuminating dark scenes
֍ key lighting and adjusting light intensity or temperature
֍ capturing quickly moving objects.
Most cameras have built-in flashes and professional ones have ability to mount more
powerful external flash units. In the studio or even event or party you can use additional separate
standing flash devices that ignite remotely by camera internal flash light or various infrared, radio
or cable technologies.
Each flash device can be described by two parameters-duration and intensity. The
duration often described as a number like t.5 or t.3. The greater is number, the shorter duration
is. The intensity usually is marked in fractions (like ½ or ¼) or numbers (like 9 or 8). The greater
number means larger intensity.
In most cases the flash is used as main light source when environment light is insufficient,
on example indoors or after sunset. Normally, built-in flash can illuminate scene in 3-4 meters
distance. The illumination falls off as the square of the distance. If the scene far as twice, the
illumination of scene will decrease four times. But in short distances flash is too bright to take
quality images. The minimal flash distance usually is 1 meter.

TLE2 (TECHNOLOGY AND LIVELIHOOD EDUCATION W/ ENTREPRENEURSHIP)


By NICEA EUNICE SERVENTO
Otherwise, the flash is used as front light to control contrast and highlight object areas like
in studio.
Standard direct flash produces hard light making sharp shadows. Professionals try to
avoid this hard light by dispelling the flash light with different filters and reflectors. If you have no
expensive equipment, you can cover the flash by light dissipating film, use white umbrellas or
even usual paper cards to reflect light.

PHOTOGRAPHY PROJECTS

Types of Photography
 Architecture
- Architectural photography is the photographing of buildings and structures.

TLE2 (TECHNOLOGY AND LIVELIHOOD EDUCATION W/ ENTREPRENEURSHIP)


By NICEA EUNICE SERVENTO
 Fashion
- Fashion photography is a genre of photography devoted to displaying clothing
and other fashion items. It is most often conducted on the runway at shows, or
for advertisements or fashion magazines such as Vogue, Vanity Fair, Victorias
Secret, or Elle.

 Fine Art
- Photography that is created to express the artist’s imagination and emotions.
Photography that leans more towards being “created” than just shot or staged.
Serves an artistic purpose rather than commercial or for documentation.
-

 Landscape
- Landscape photography shows spaces within the world. Typically captures vast
spaces of nature but can also focus on man-made features such as cityscapes;
very little “human contact”.

 Lifestyle
- Attempt to capture the beauty of everyday occurrences, real-life events, and
typically situations in an artistic manner. Can blend into other types such as
photojournalism, street, portraiture, etc.

 Macro

 Photojournalism
- The collecting, editing, and presenting of news material for publication or
broadcast; images in order to tell a news story.

 Portrait
- Trying to capture the expression, personality, and mood of a person or group of
people. The focus of the photograph is usually the person’s face, although the
entire body and the background or context may be included. Typically, associated
with being shot in a studio, however can mix with street or lifestyle.

 Street
- Photography that aims to capture candid social situations in public places. What
differs street photography from lifestyle is the fact that a human subject doesn’t
need to be the focus and typically photos are not staged.

 Travel
- Photography to showcase locations, destinations, and to help illustrate travel
literature (articles, brochures, etc.)

 Vernacular
- Ordinary, everyday, amateur, unintentional.

When does one become a good photographer?

Since digital cameras (including the popular smart phones) became so widespread,
photography is one of the world’s favourite hobbies. As a matter of fact, everybody has a camera,
our limit is only set by our level of interest and the size of our wallet. Some people are contented
with the photography functions of a mobile phone, while others want to make the most of their
talent and creativity with the help of their mirror reflection photo device and focus variations. Even
though video cameras are especially popular, people often take time to look at magnified still
images; perhaps because we can take these anywhere in our pockets or purse or we can put
them on our wall so that a person or an event can always be near us. But it’s also possible that
photography, the capturing of a moment has such a mystic quality that motion picture (or reality)
cannot reflect. Presumably, the latter can be the main reason for anybody’s affection for
photography.
When does one become a good photographer? It happens when you take photos and it
gives you pleasure. It is only an additional value if other people appreciate your work, creativity
or point of view.

You might be at professional level, with a super expensive camera on your shoulder,
photography being your bread and butter. You might be a person whose photos win awards,
maybe in significant fields of knowledge, and you receive a great amount of money for them. Or
you might be someone who makes a selection of your favourite photos to show them to your
friends and family, for the purpose of fun. Which one is the good photographer? Someone who
gets paid for his work, but it has become nothing more than a daily routine? Or someone whose
photo is awarded by a certain professional board, based on their own aspects? Or is it someone
who makes himself or his environment happy by capturing some special moments?

Finally, what should I do with my photos?

If we have gone through all these procedures (photo processing and post- production)
and/ or the memory of our computer is getting full of our photos, there is only one thing left to do,
and that is to share our work with the world. This way, other people will have a chance to view
them; they can marvel at them or give us constructive criticism. The following internet pages are
perfect for this purpose:
