I chose these as my final images because these are the best edited photos out of all of my possible photos and they showed the most seminaries to August Sander. and how in each photos she is looking within the camera.
with those I used artsteps to visualise what it would look like in a gallery and to see that those 4 photos go well together
with this photos so far u can see using the rule of third and how she is in 2/3 of the photo
with this photos iv edited the brightness and contrast, and also took away the deep shadows on the eyes to eyes are a obvious view point. and with most of my photos with my sister in will be edited like this innless in different area.
and similar sort of editing with these people
with this person there is a quite High contrast and the dodge tool has been used.
each colour shows a different person
red is my sister, yellow is my step mum and greens is a yoga instructor and blue is my dad and purple is a couple of my brother.
with the ones for my sister there are a couple of things she is doing, such as dancing poses, gymnastics and reading. and here are some of the best raw examples.
for the ones with my step mum, she id drinking tea and doing trapeze yoga. here is some of the best raw photos.
plus connected to my step mum is the yoga instructor when volunteered to participate. here are some of the best raw photos.
for my dad of him at his work desk, here is some of the best raw photos. which of him at his work from home space.
subjects – I will take photos of my family members and people in the same environment.
for this I will take photos of each family member where they are connected to
dad – his home office space
step mum – trapeze yoga
sister – gymnastics studio and dance at home
will be quite natural and if in a type of hobby will be doing a move from that.
I intend of all of my subjects to be looking at the camera.
i will experiment to with loots of different types of composition such as rule of 3rds.
i will be experimenting with full body photos and 1/2 and 2/3 head shots and i will not do tighter crop because the environment background wont be at all visible. which are shown below from online.
in my environmental I will make mine landscape so is able to capture the environment. and here is an example I found online.
will experiment with different types of aperature.
Newman went on to photograph Eleanor Roosevelt, Pablo Picasso, Frank Lloyd Wright, Golda Meir, Andy Warhol, Marilyn Monroe, Salvador Dalí, and the former president Bill Clinton: decidedly on his own terms. There would be no overstuffed costume fittings or stark studios. Mr. Newman’s portraits were defined by his sitter’s environments, which led him to be known as the “father of the environmental portrait.” which he hated being called.

in his photos he argued that he was not interested in the details of his subjects surroundings. but instead the symbol’s that he could create. furthermore A new book by Radius Books, “Arnold Newman: One Hundred,” published in conjunction with the Howard green burg gallery in honour of the centennial of his birth, shows the range of his symbolic approach.
Some plates in the book are solely of symbols — like a collage of a violin maker’s patterns in Philadelphia. One of his most famous, his mid-1940s portrait of Igor Stravinsky that was commissioned by Harper’s Bazaar, shows the composer at the corner of a large piano. This, Mr. Newman explained, was not about the piano, it was about the symbol the piano represents.
within this photo it shows how he crops to symbolise a music note when cropped and more so how it is in black and white, which also makes all of his photos seem like they are related in some way or another.
Others which show subjects placed within symbols. In his 1956 portrait, Mr. Newman posed the bald head of the painter and sculptor Jean Dubuffet in front of a weathered wall that looked like a huge glob of chipped paint.
this photo graph automatically gives an uncomfortable view because if the way he’s staring out at you with a villainous look to him.
in the photo there are really dark and gloomy colours such as green and brown. its dark toned with light throughout the middle top. the shape is symmetrical with leading lines. creates a sense of depth with the background in relatively deep focus, and the man is central with pillars either side of him. he is in the foreground. lights repetition leads the eye to the deep background.
in this the lighting bright in the back ground however on him its very dark on his on the front of his face. The aperture is high. also the shutter speed looks over exposed on the lights and where the lights are shining on but where the lights don’t reach it seems like its slightly under exposed. from the high sensitivity in the ISO shows the its all its focus. throughout the photo there is a warm and cold feel about it expect from Krupp because he is the vocal point.
has a very historical view of after the second world war and Jewish concentration camps. which is very personal to Arnold Newman, who is a Jewish photography, who also originally didn’t want to take the photo. While Alfred Krupp, the subject, was a German Nazi war criminal. with the visual aspect the industrial backdrop, which serves as a reminder of the atrocities committed during WW2.
shows that Krupp is seen as scheming and looks evil and cruel, also where he is positioned shows that he’s the owner of the train station where they would transport the Jews to concentration camps. showing this is that he looks bigger and better with him in the spot light. Arnold Newman shows his own poetic justice by making Krupp seen as evil as possible. showing this is the shadows that come down on his face, to create this Newman made Krupp lean forward to create this.
a portrait executed in the subject’s usual environment, such as in their home or workplace, and typically illuminates the subject’s life and surroundings.
which in these types of photos it can reveal lots of things or conceal thing to the naked eye, such as the top second one at the top, as it could reveal that its a child working and and doesn’t look happy doing what he is doing. however the 5th one on the second row only shows a part of the photo, so could mean that its been cropped which is being concealed and it doesn’t reveal much about him except that he looks happy.
its the speed at which the shutter of the camera closes, there is different types of shutter speeds
a slow shutter speed setting which allows a greater amount of light. changing your cameras shutter speed is one way to adjust the overall exposure of an image, also it allows you to be creative by being able to control the amount of blur or lack of it in your images.
the slower the shutter speed the more motion blur your camera will be able to capture when shooting fast moving subjects. but with long shutter speed from two to 30 seconds, any movement in the image will blur. this can create a cool effect with landscapes and the sky, as water and clouds turns soft and streaky.
when we take the photo, the cameras shutter opens, which allows light to reach the recording medium, where an image is made. by controlling hoe long the shutter stay open, we are able to control the resulting image will be like.
which is also known as “exposure time”, shutter speed is measured in seconds or fractions of a second, for example a slow shutter speed of 1/2 means the shutter remains open for half a second, while faster speed of 1/2000 which means it only remains open for one-two-thousandth of a second.
Eadweard Muybridge used fast shutter speeds, around 1/1000th of a second, to capture motion in his famous 1878 The Horse in Motion series. This allowed him to freeze the movement of animals and humans, pioneering motion photography and laying the groundwork for early film technology.
Francesca Woodman often used slow shutter speeds in her photography, which contributed to the dreamlike and ghostly quality of her images. By using long exposures, she created blurred, ethereal effects, particularly when capturing herself or her subjects in motion. This technique added a sense of fleeting presence and emotional intensity to her work, emphasizing themes of identity, fragility, and the passage of time.

Colour is indeed a potent ally in highlighting form in photography. It can add dimension and depth to your subjects
Line in photography is used to create moods. Below are different types of line: Vertical line: Vertical lines run up and down.
An element of art that is two-dimensional, flat, or limited to height and width. Form. An element of art that is three-dimensional and encloses. volume; includes height, width and depth (as in a cube, a sphere, a pyramid, or a cylinder)
refers to how light and dark something is. Tones could refer to black, white and the grey tones between. It could refer to how light or dark a colour appears. In real life tone is created by the way light falls on an object.
is a regularity within a scene. It’s elements of the scene that repeat themselves in a predictable way. Pattern can be found everywhere and is commonly seen within shapes, colours or textures
how the surface of an object appears to feel or actually feels to the touch. Texture can be described as rough, smooth, soft, etc. Texture is shown in photographs by the way the light falls on an object and through value changes. The paper on which the photograph is made also determines texture.
involve different aspects of light, shadow, depth, angles, and composition that create the perception of three-dimensionality in a two-dimensional image
all of these are the photos i took and edited on photoshop
In 1917 Jaroslav Rössler began his career as an apprentice in the Prague studio of Frantisek Drtikol, where he learned the techniques of oil, bromoil, pigment and other printing techniques. From 1923 to 1925, he also made a series of his own photographs, using contrasts of geometrical areas of light, shade and reflections with different shades of black, grey and white tones, and geometric shapes cut from paper and cardboard.
Born the youngest of four sons into a wealthy San Francisco family, Francis Bruguière was interested in painting, poetry, and music, and became an accomplished pianist. Upon his return from Europe, where he studied painting, he met Alfred Stieglitz at the 291 Gallery in New York and soon took up photography. While studying with Frank Eugene (Smith), Bruguière joined the Photo-Secession. Although he returned to San Francisco, Stieglitz published one of Bruguière’s photographs in Camera Work and included several in the groundbreaking 1910 Photo-Secessionist exhibition at the Albright-Knox Gallery in Buffalo, New York.
Around 1912 Bruguière began to experiment with multiple exposures. In 1918 he published a book of Pictorialism views of his hometown, titled San Francisco. Soon thereafter, he returned to New York, where he opened a new studio, and began his famous series of cut-paper abstractions. In 1928 he moved to London where he designed stage sets and photographic murals. The later years of his life were spent mostly in New York, where his attention turned increasingly to painting and sculpture.
these photos that are similar to the artist, which have a formal element of texture from the complex shapes.
with these images I have used cropping to make them seem more abstract and not obvious that its paper. also theses connect to a formal element – pattern from these complex patterns made from being cropped. but not only that these photos have formal element shape cause complex shapes are seen in these photos.
these images have a connection to a formal element – colour from the different shades of colour that show, which have been edited into these colours.
with these images iv just used a simple display cause by being simple you are able to focus on the photos unlike a complex display which will sometimes look confusing on where to look. which is also got many formal elements such as texture, space , pattern but not semantical and tone. which made me decide on these because it had the most of the formal elements compared to the other experiments, cause the other two only had one or two and is most in reference to the artists.
in photography is the visual quality of the surface of an object revealed through variances in shape, tone and colour and depth
examples of his work
Minor White, born in Minneapolis in 1908, earned a B.S. in botany from the University of Minnesota in 1933. He moved to Portland in 1937, working as a WPA photographer and teaching photography until his military service in 1942. After the war, he studied art history in New York and was influenced by notable photographers like Edward Weston and Alfred Stieglitz. In 1946, he joined the California School of Fine Arts, where he became friends with Ansel Adams and co-founded Aperture magazine in 1952. White later taught at the Rochester Institute of Technology and MIT, co-founded the Society for Photographic Education, and edited Aperture until 1970. His mystical approach to photography, particularly in landscapes, emphasizes abstract images and spiritual self-knowledge, making him a significant figure in postwar photography. His work has been exhibited widely and includes notable publications.
most of the photos will be edited in a similar style
these were edited in colour however preferable it looks best and captures the texture best in the black and white versions and they are more similar to the artist.
edited on light room ^
these are edited to make the texture more noticeable and into black and white to Mach the artist and all of the photos similar to this artist were taken of plants and mostly close up.
with all of these photos I made it so they were in black and white and the texture was increased to improve the affect and make texture more visible.
in these there are the formal element other then texture, is colour cause of the unnatural colours that are in these edited photos of greenery.
in these there are the formal element other then texture, is colour, which have lots of vibrant colours from editing them into inverted.
I chose this as my final out come because its the most similar to the artist and the way its been edited the texture is most visible compared to the others ones edited in colour and since its in black and white it allows you to focus on the texture within the photos. With the simplistic layout it also makes it easier to focus on the photos.
these are my final images presented into the gallery, which were done in artsteps. which shows how you would view them in an gallery and can see that all of my final photos defiantly connect together. and show a similar effect the the photos the the artist produced.
