Reflection on Photography essay


One of the chapters went over the history of photography but what I took from the passage that was helpful was how photography can be divided into two sections, documentation and art-photography. When documenting one is taking the picture to capture a moment in time, and letting the camera do most of the work. When it comes to art-photography there is intention, passion, and expression behind the thought of the photo. This information was useful because we used both kinds of photography for our project. We documented our construction of the letter, and we also used art-photography when placing the letters in intentional spaces around campus. The other passage teaches different elements that can be used to take a successful picture. An example is how symmetry and asymmetry can make a composition more appealing to the viewer. Or by using framing this directs the viewers’ eye. These skills and ideas helped make our pictures of our letters more visually successful.
