Multiple exposures are photographs in which two or more images are superimposed in a single frame, and they’re super easy to create using your analogue camera. Set an image of a train against a field of flowers, or prop your friend’s face against an image of a city skyline to create enchanting and surreal images.

to achieve these images, I had to upload the original image and duplicate it, and then lower the opacity of the imaged and move it slightly so that the image is multi exposure. In the bottom one I adjusted the hue of the image so that it showed as purple.

Rembrandt lighting –

lighting positioned to the side of the face but slightly in front so that there is a little triangle under one side of the persons eye.

The term Rembrandt lighting is relatively new. Originally, it was coined by 20th century filmmaker, Cecile B.DeMille, when he produced a film called, Warrens of Virginia. As the story goes, he borrowed some spot lights to recreate a lighting scheme that had the actors’ faces half lit. Rembrandt lighting actually precedes the Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn, who it is named after.  The Italians were the first to experiment with various lighting schemes in the 1500s.  As art emerged from the Gothic period, the Renaissance artists brought perspective and lighting to painting.

Butterfly lighting

Butterfly lighting is a lighting pattern used in portrait photography where the key light is placed above and pointing down on the subject’s face. This creates a dramatic shadow under the nose and chin that looks like a butterfly. It’s also called ‘Paramount lighting,’ named for the Hollywood studio and how they lit their most glamorous and beautiful actresses.

Butterfly lighting dates back to some of the earliest glamour shots. Specifically, Marlene Dietrich, a German silent film actress, who became a Hollywood star in the 1930s, was presented on film in a way that gave this look its name.She came to California with director Josef von Sternberg, who lit her in his films with what is known today as butterfly lighting. He would position the key light above her, where a butterfly-shaped shadow would appear just below her nose. With this lighting, her cheekbones and facial structure became more prominent. It soon became a Hollywood-must for lighting.

side lighting –  Artists such as Rembrandt and Caravaggio painted using the chiaroscuro technique, which is a method that uses shadows and a single light source to create depth and drama. Still life scenes, for instance, were painted in dark rooms lit by a single window while faces in portraits were illuminated with a golden, candle-lit glow.

Here are my final images from the portrait shoot at hamptonne. I chose to add a cool tone to the woman next to the window as the light was hitting directly on her , and the cool tones bring out the bright whites of the skirt. I also did this because in those times, they wouldn’t have heating, therefore the room would’ve been quite cold all together. However in the portrait the top left (of the woman in the kitchen next to the fire) I chose to add warm tones as she is in the one room in the house with warmth. This represents the fact that, before the industrial period, they had to create their own heat to keep them warm and healthy, and i represented this through the tones of the images.

Alfred Krupp 1963 – Alfred Krupp, ‘The Cannon King’, was a German industrialist known for his worldwide sale of cast steel cannons and other armaments. He is most famously known for supplying the German army during WW2 with cannons and other weapons.

In my opinion, Arnold Newman is trying to portray Alfred Krupp as a sinister figure in an industrialised world. The lighting in the image is dark and ominous, with harsh lighting sculpturing his face. this harsh lighting creates an almost hell-like tone on Alfred’s face. There is a bright light behind Krupp which could symbolise a halo, this contrasts with the dark harsh lighting on his face. As well as this, the lighting shining on his face is from either side of his, creating these devil- like horns on his forehead. The idea behind this could be that to the Germans, Kropp was seen as an angel and someone who helped them through war, however to everyone else he is portrayed as a man of sin and someone easily compared to satin. the photographer uses a wide angle on the image for possible two reasons, one of them being that Kropp wanted to show off his industrial inventions and had requested this. On the other had the photographer may have used a wide angle lens to highlight the damage Kropp has done in his lifetime, and is trying to make his a less important factor in the image.

photography is capturing a image from an exact point in time using light.

photography as an Art Form

personally, I think photography is an art, this is because of all of the things you have to do to get a perfect photo. You have to choose the lighting and adjust it to create the mood you are going for in the photo, whether this be cool or warm light, coloured light, dim or bright light, you need to be creative and think about which light best represents the idea you are going for. You need to think about position and angle, the whole picture changes when you change the angle and position the slightest bit. On top of taking the actual image, there is a lot of creativity that happens after the image is taken, for example editing and composition of the images. There is a huge editing process behind the image, changing the brightness, clarity, white balance, exposure and more can make the image even better. Once the image is fully edited, you also have to think about how you are going to display your image, such as a collage or an online blog. So I think photography is an art form because it is a whole creative process.

We used light sensitive paper to create our cyanotypes, firstly we collected interesting objects that we could find around hamptonne. We had to work really quickly with the cyanotpye paper as is develops fast in the sun. we placed our objects onto the paper however we desired and let it develop in the sun until the paper turned into a baby blue. The objects on the paper blocked the sun from developing in those areas which leaves an imprint of the objects on the paper. once our paper had been developed we had to place the paper in water for around 2 minutes so that it stopped developing and let it dry in the sun. This process creates a beautiful pattern on paper however it is not very reliable as some factors can effect the composition of the images, such as, the wind can blow the objects off the paper or the shadow from the object could look distorted.

camera obscura

Camera obscura, meaning darkened room in Latin, is a device in a shape of a box or a room that lets the light through a small opening on one side and projects it on the other. In this simple variant, image that is outside of the box is projected upside-down. More complex cameras can use mirrors to project image upwards and right-side up and they can also have lenses. Camera obscura is used as an aid for drawing and entertainment.

Nicephore Niepce

Nicephore niepce was the first person to make a photographic image.To make the heliograph, Niépce dissolved light-sensitive bitumen in oil of lavender and applied a thin coating over a polished pewter plate. He inserted the plate into a camera obscura and positioned it near a window in his second-story workroom.

Louis Daguerre

Louis Daguerre called his invention “daguerreotype.” His method, which he disclosed to the public late in the summer of 1839, consisted of treating silver-plated copper sheets with iodine to make them sensitive to light, then exposing them in a camera and “developing” the images with warm mercury vapor.

Daguerreotype

The daguerreotype was the first commercially successful photographic process (1839-1860) in the history of photography. Named after the inventor, Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre, each daguerreotype is a unique image on a silvered copper plate. A daguerreotype is not flexible and is rather heavy. The daguerreotype is accurate, detailed and sharp. It has a mirror-like surface and is very fragile. Since the metal plate is extremely vulnerable, most daguerreotypes are presented in a special housing.

Henry Fox Talbot

Fox Talbot went on to develop the three primary elements of photography: developing, fixing, and printing. Although simply exposing photographic paper to the light produced an image, it required extremely long exposure times. By accident, he discovered that there was an image after a very short exposure. Although he could not see it, he found he could chemically develop it into a useful negative. The image on this negative was then fixed with a chemical solution. This removed the light-sensitive silver and enabled the picture to be viewed in bright light. With the negative image, Fox Talbot realised he could repeat the process of printing from the negative. Consequently, his process could make any number of positive prints, unlike the Daguerreotypes. He called this the ‘calotype’ and patented the process in 1841.

Richard Maddox

In 1871 Richard Leach Maddox, an English physician, suggested suspending silver bromide in a gelatine emulsion, an idea that led, in 1878, to the introduction of factory-produced dry plates coated with gelatine containing silver salts. This event marked the beginning of the modern era of photography.

George Eastman

In 1880 he perfected a process of making dry plates for photography and organized the Eastman Dry Plate and Film Company for their manufacture. The first kodak (a name he coined) camera was placed on the market in 1888. It was a simple handheld box camera containing a 100-exposure roll of film that used paper negatives. Consumers sent the entire camera back to the manufacturer for developing, printing, and reloading when the film was used up; the company’s slogan was “You press the button, we do the rest.” In 1889 Eastman introduced a roll film on a transparent base, which has remained the standard for film. In 1892 he reorganized the business as the Eastman kodak company . Eight years later he introduced the brownie camera , which was intended for use by children and sold for one dollar. By 1927 Eastman Kodak had a virtual monopoly of the photographic industry in the United States, and it has continued to be one of the largest American companies in its field.

print/film photography

print and film photography is where you print physical images that are taken on old fashioned cameras.

Digital photography

digital photography uses modern day cameras and sd cards to take state of the art photos with expensive and clever cameras.

In 1767, people protested about the export of grain from the Island. Threats were made against shipowners and a law was passed the following year to keep corn in Jersey. In August 1769 the States of Jersey repealed this law, claiming that crops in the Island were plentiful. There was suspicion that this was a ploy to raise the price of wheat, which would be beneficial to the rich, many of whom had ‘rentes’ owed to them on properties that were payable in wheat. As major landowners, the Lemprière family stood to profit hugely.

On Thursday 28 September 1769, a Court called the Assize d’Héritage was sitting, hearing cases relating to property disputes. The Lieutenant Bailiff, Charles Lemprière, sat as the Head of the Court. Meanwhile, a group of disgruntled individuals from Trinity, St Martin, St John, St Lawrence and St Saviour marched towards Town where their numbers were swelled by residents of St Helier. The group was met at the door of the Royal Court and was urged to disperse and send its demands in a more respectful manner. However, the crowd forced its way into the Court Room armed with clubs and sticks. Inside, they ordered that their demands be written down in the Court book. Although the King later commanded that the lines be removed from the book (image 3), a transcription survives that shows the crowd’s demands.

The demands of the Corn Riots protestors included:

• That the price of wheat be lowered and set at 20 sols per cabot.

• That foreigners be ejected from the Island.

• That his Majesty’s tithes be reduced to 20 sols per vergée.

• That the value of the liard coin be set to 4 per sol.

• That there should be a limit on the sales tax.

• That seigneurs stop enjoying the practice of champart (the right to every twelfth sheaf of corn or bundle of flax).

• That seigneurs end the right of ‘Jouir des Successions’(the right to enjoy anyone’s estate for a year and a day if they die without heirs).

• That branchage fines could no longer be imposed.

• That Rectors could no longer charge tithes except on apples.

• That charges against Captain Nicholas Fiott be dropped and that he be allowed to return to the Island without an inquiry.

• That the Customs’ House officers be ejected.
