PHOTOGRAPHY~

Definition: Photography is the use of light sensors or light sensitive material (such as photographic film) to create durable images. Photography can be classified as art and/or science.

Types: Photography splits into two major groups.
 * 1) 1. Digital – digital photography uses light sensors to capture images.
 * 2) 2. Chemical – chemical photography uses light sensitive material such as photographic film to capture and produce images.

Etymology: “Photography” derives from the Greek words “Photos”

Pictures. This is my favorite photographer, Ejen Chuang, This is the one of his more commonly known photo he's taken because it is currently the cover of his book, Cosplay In America, where he shows photos he has taken a various conventions in the U.S. Chuang has been traveling the U.S. for a while now as a photographers for cosplayers, Cosplayers are people who usually attend conventions and dress up as characters from Japanese animation, at various anime conventions in the U.S. I find this photo very intriguing because of the way the photographer manipulated the lighting and angle to get the best result.

2.This is a photo of VandorWolf, an avid cosplayer who can be found on DeviantArt, who is dressing up as a character from the book series The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, Katniss Evergreen. In this photo she displays the clothing and hairstyle described in the novel, The Hunger Games, aswell as the surroundings found in the arena of the Hunger Games at night.

4.This photo Is of Makeup artistry done at Complections International Make-up Artistry Academy and the photograpgy of this photo is stunning in the way that you can imagine that plants and greenery are actually growing on and around the individual.

This image is of two models representing the spring-summer 2012 collection created by Vawk, a toronto based designer who, Elisha Cuthbert chose to wear one of Vawks dress' in the peoples choice awards. I find this photo very appeling because of the movement that can be found in the way the dress' falls on each of the models givving the effect of wind.

5.I enjoy the playfulness of this photo because it uses a variety of things to make this image so stunning. The way the photography was able to grasp the angles and make it believable that the bottle is larger than the human truly shows the depth of thought the photography had in order to create this composition.

Principles of Design

1. The Principles of Design are. • Balance • Proportion/Scale • Rhythm/Pattern • Emphasis/Focal Point • Unity • Contrast • Variety • Harmony

**Balance** Balance is a concept where the image is showing an equal amount of physical stability. there are a few different types of balance that can be found in images. they are: • **Symmetrical Balance:** Where there are an equal 'weight' to both sides of the image. (A.K.A:Formal Balance) • **Asymmetrical Balance:** Where one thing monopolizes most of the 'weight' of the image and is the focal point over other parts of the composition. **Proportion** ** /Scale ** Proportion refers to the scale and sizing of each object or focal point in the composition. **Rhythm/Pattern** Rhythm and Pattern refer to the consistency of one thing or another in and image. Emphasis or the focal point refers to to the main part of the image that is more prominent and eye catchingto anyone who is looking at the composition. Unity is the use of repetition and patterns to create a harmonious image. Contrast is shown through the prominence of one aspect of and image over another. showing multiple objects and aspects to bring out each part of the image properly. Harmony is -like unity- the use of different aspects of the image so that the image is balanced. Example: **Balance:** Asymmetrical - the bottle is larger than the erson making the focal point the bottle itself. 
 * Emphasis/Focal Point **
 * Unity **
 * Contrast **
 * Variety **
 * Harmony **
 * Proportion/Scale:** The proportion of the bottle seems larger than the person giving it a better look.
 * Rhythm/Pattern:** The pattern in this is hard to decifer but it is found in the scale and the movement of the person who is running.
 * Emphasis/Focal Point:** there are two main focal points one is the bottle - because of the optical illusion of its size- and the second is the person.
 * Unity:** the unity in this photo is the use of scale between the bottle and the person.
 * Variety:** the bottle and the person show the variety of object.
 * Harmony:** the Harmony in the photo is between the large size of the bottle and the small size of the person.

Angles
 * Camera **

Camera Angles can vary from photo to photo but each camera angle is used depending on what aspects the photographer wishs to capture a few of the camera angle are: Shot Length

Shot length also varies from photo to photo. Shot length describes the deistance between the camera and the object(s) in the photo.

Extreme Long shot: Landscapes, scene setting etc... Long Shot: far away enough to grasp the -WHOLE- human body size. Medium Shot: fits half the body of an average human. Close up usually shows just the Head of the depicted human (or animals) or object. Extreme close up: Up close and personal. shows specific aspects of something. (MACRO)

Types of Lighting -Ms. Gulias Notes Lighting Direction frontal: shows face brightly. lower facing up: lights up lower areas of face and protruding area light up (Chin, Nose etc.) Upper facing down: lights up face and darks lower protruding areas Side: make roughly one half of the face light and the other half shaded. Behind the head: Halo affect Reflected light: Using a white or reflective material to reflect light on the face.
