I have decided to focus on romanticism as one of the isms based around my images from all of the shoots.

Romanticism was a movement in the arts and literature which originated in the late 18th century, emphasizing inspiration, subjectivity, and the primacy of the individual. In most areas romanticism was at its peak in the approximate period from 1800 to 1850. Romanticism can be seen as a rejection of the precepts of order, calm, harmony, balance, idealization, and rationality that typified Classicism in general and late 18th-century Neoclassicism in particular. Among the characteristic attitudes of Romanticism were the following: a deepened appreciation of the beauties of nature; a general exaltation of emotion over reason and of the senses over intellect; a turning in upon the self and a heightened examination of human personality and its moods and mental potentialities

In modern day it is seen that a romanticist image is a beautiful image, however in the 1800s it was seen as a painting with a strong meaning. An example of romanticism back in this age was the painting ‘The raft of the Medusa’. 

This painting was created in France by the chief early Romantic painters Baron Antoine Gros, who painted dramatic tableau’s of contemporary incidents of the Napoleonic Wars, and Théodore Géricault, whose depictions of individual heroism and suffering in The Raft of the Medusa and in his portraits of the insane truly inaugurated the movement around 1820. As a whole romanticism was seen as a vast movement that included many mediums to present. This was just one of the most famous paintings created during the movement.
