In depth Image Analysis

Image Analysis of my interpretations of  keld helmer petersen 

These are my two favorite images from my edits because i feel the the back ground being light creates a focal point on the main dark section of the of the image and the object. The negative space being white created contrast much like in Helmers work because that was his main intentions to create images with negative space that is white, so your main attention if drawn to the the object that is portrayed in dark/black. Using the threshold on Photoshop i managed to discard all of the mid tones within my images creating a contrast on depth and light, dark. The image with the triangle, i really like how the refection is portrayed as a section with a triangle and therefore shows the little scratches and details on the triangle which to me makes the triangle look more in focus and the background blur our much like the camera technique of depth of field. This was unintentional but i feel like it brings more depth and technical value the the image. In the second image, the background being light contrasts the metal cage and it stands out and all most pop out from the back ground much like a 3D IMAGE. The light and dark detailing of the rust on the cage adds the aspects of photograph technique and getting an images correctly in focus and creating a focal point that the audience is instantly drawn to.

 

 

 

 

Albert Renger-Patzsch

Albert Renger-Patzsch(1897-1966) was born in Würzburg, Germany. He lived and and worked in Essen and Wamel, Germany.

German photographer Albert Ranger-Patzsch was a ground breaking figure in the New Objective  movement, which was made to engage with the world and people in it as much as possible.

Moving away form the ideals and subjects that are highly prized of a previous generation, Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity) emerged as a trend in German art, architecture and literature in the 1920s. Applying this attitude to the field of photography, Renger-Patzsch adopted the camera’s ability to produce a direct visual recording of the world. ‘There must be an increase in the joy one takes in an object, and the photographer should be fully conscious of the splendid fidelity of reproduction made possible by his technique’, he wrote.

This selection reflects the range of subjects that Renger-Patzsch would always come back to throughout his career. It includes his early wildlife and botanical studies, images of traditional craftsmen, formal studies of mechanical equipment, commercial still lifes, and landscape and architectural studies. His images of the Ruhrregion, where he moved in 1928, document the industrialisation of the area in an extreme amount of  detail. All of his work demonstrates his continued interest in the camera’s capability to capture to the beauty and complexity of the modern worl

Contact Sheets

In class we were introduced to the concept of contact sheets. We complied all our images on a Photoshop document and then we could ether edit them by had or by using Photoshop. I decide to do them by hand because i like the look of the finished product the combination of pen and printed. Each different color of pen and design have a different meaning, for example the red circles over the images mean i want to use them in a final product and the ones with black dots are ones that can be discarded. This is very similar with the other contact sheet i made.
