    This is one of my favourites image that I took of an in solitude photography this is because it shows that she very lonely and the only thing you can see in the picture is the tree behind her. However she looks so sad and this tells us that she has a lot of emotions going around her head.
    In this image I have created an effect that shows that she’s scared and the colour shows how she feels.  I wanted to create this type of effect to show that not always black and white that shows people’s emotions.

    Fashion Photography

    General History of Fashion Photography
    Fashion Photography is a type of photography keen to displaying clothing and other fashion bits and pieces . Also fashion photography is most often used for advertisement or fashion magazine such as Vogue. This is because they want to make profit aswell as producing a new range of product. fashion has a meaning it becames referential, a story where real life becomes art like in acting out dreams. Fashion photography also ultimately creates a disappointment of meaning by its establishment of mystery that has no resolution. It produces meaningful signs but does not offer explanation.


    I would describe the history of Fashion of photography as creative. This is because they had to show something that was uniquee to the audiences the different types of Fashion photography.  However it is important because photographers can take pictures of a product that is being sold and get it out to the public to be sold.



    Cecil Beaton Photographer 
    He was an english fashion and portrait photographer.Cecil Beaton was one of the world's most successful portrait and fashion photographers. For five decades he used his flattering lens and acute eye to turn celebrities into timeless icons.

    He became an expert in fashion that V&A asked him to assistance in putting together the first fashion exhibition to be held in a major museum, the clothes that Beaton was given for the exhibition formed the basis of the V&A's permanent collection, now world famous.

    Also Beaton's business in fashion photography covered five periods. In this time he photographed many Hollywood celebrities as well as the Royal Family, including Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother and the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor wearing a design by fashion designer Mainbocher.
     

     When is an image a Portrait when is it a fashion photograph?
    A portrait images is more of a painting or other artistic symbol of a person and it also display the likeness, personality, and even the frame of mind of the person.This reason in photography a portrait is generally not a snapshot, but a composed image of a person in a still position. i think a portrait images is more of a art picture and its trying to tell a story but a fashion photography is more of selling the product and getting it out there so that customers can see the new style.

    Portraiture

    Diane Arbus  


    Diane was born March 14, 1923 and died July 26 1971. She was an American photographer and writer well known for black and white square photographs of "deviant and marginal people or of people who looked ugly and strange . However a friend said that Diane said that she was "afraid" of what people would say about her and that she would be simply be a photographer of freaks". They have used that expression alot to describe Arbus. I have seem some of her photography and i personal think that she has a wild range of lifestyle but her images tell us something when you look at the art of the picture.

    PhotoJournalism

    Henri Cartier-Bresson was born August 22, one of the most famous photographers.  However he was a french photographer and was considered to be the god father to photojournalism. He helped develop the " street photography" or "real life reportage" style that has influenced generations of photographers who followed. Also Henri Cartier-Bresson turned from painting to photography.


    The images below inspired him to stop painting and to take up photography seriously. He explained, "I suddenly understood that a photograph could fix eternity in an instant. it is a still image.




    The Decisive moment

    The Decisive moment is a moment where an image of  art  comes together. In other words its capturing a split second that is not to simple or  too late but just at the right specific time. For example the images above shows that  Henri Cartier-Bresson's image of the guy jumping over the puddle of the water shows a very high-quality example of a decisive moment. This is because he caught the guy in mid air at the right moment which is the ideal moment.

    Henri  Cartier Bresson told washington post that the decisive moment  ""There is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture. Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera. That is the moment the photographer is creative," he said. "Oop! The Moment! Once you miss it, it is gone forever."


    The Lieca Camera 
    Henri Cartier-Bresson's was known for using a lieca camera for most of his life.The lieca camera that Bresson used to transform photography was the LiecaI. This camera brought a whole new light into photography because it captured an image within seconds unlike earlier camera’s such as a speed Graphox. below it shows the first camera that Bresson used was the leica camera which he descried as an extension of his eyes.
