These early photographers include Felix Bonfils, Antoine Beato, J. Pascal Sebah and Antoin Servuguin (Corien, Yuurman and Martens, 20)
Some of the resources are discussed here to find the history of art and painting in Persia and to hunt the initial painters and photographers and to find what contributions they made. Floor, William Art (naqqashi) and artists (naqqasham) in Qajar Persia 1999 The Qajar or visual art was found in Iran but it only had appreciation in the Royal families (Floor, 125)
Sheikh, Reza Portfolio of a nation 1999 Many of the early paintings of Persia were those showing the religious or cultural practices of the people. For example, Antoin Servuguin was a photographer who often took the photos of people around the Mosques (Sheikh, 55)
Photographic art theory and criticism could emanate from a vision of photography as a procedure that altered the world instead of one that just locates it directly, and this procedure of alteration is required to be observed as subject to the purposeful and communicative control of the photographer. (Eisinger, 52) The aesthetic symbolized an endeavor to characterize the distinctive and vital features of photography and to emphasize the autonomy of the medium in order to align it with the main doctrine of modernism
Their contribution is an important extension of Pop Art and what is known as Photo-Realism that was ruling the roost during the later part of 1960s and 1970s. (Peres, 183) Close on the heels of Pop Art, painters used photographs as the subject matter to make an inclusive and discursive formalism, one in which matters of composition, optical properties and process would pay a tribute instead of defeating the contents of the image
Therefore the stories of photography of art in Germany, France, Britain and Italy are all idiosyncratic of a several political, social, economic and historical causes. (Roberts, 90) Walter Benjamin in his essay had observed that even though the knowledge of reproducibility of artworks has been there for a long time through engraving, etching, stamping etc
"Digital photography has a more tenuous relationship to reality than that of earlier photographic forms. Now a photograph is information and does not become an image until called up and tinkered with, exaggerating all of the earlier debates about just what a photograph's image is -- art or reality, for example" (Cox 2007)
Then, one day, Professor J. Schulze mixed "chalk, nitric acid, and silver in a flask," which caused him to notice the "darkening on [the] side of [a] flask exposed to sunlight," leading to the "accidental creation of the first photo-sensitive compound" (Greenspun 1999)
Photography began to develop its own artistic language. Concepts such as depth of field, which "determines how much of an image is in focus in photography" enabled photographers to communicate their distinct point-of-view of a subject through conscious design (Masoner 2012: 4)
She writes of the prescriptive and liberating potential of photography in relation to memory & identity: "Using images, we connect ourselves to a recuperative, redemptive memory that enables us to construct radical identities, images of ourselves that transcend the limits of the colonizing eye." (hooks, "In Our Glory," Page 64) The reproduction of images is a weakness in Memento
Sontag masterfully analyzes the deeper meanings, functions, and implications of photography as she contends: "Photographs furnish evidence…Although there is a sense in which the camera does indeed capture reality, not just interpret it, photographs are as much an interpretation of the world as paintings and drawings are." (Sontag, "On Photography," 1973) Photographs prove to Leonard that he is real and that his experiences are real
Thus, a feasibility study is required and while doing so, a work plan is being develop to determine the extent of the automation project. Before planning a new system, it is important that the current system be evaluated carefully and thoroughly (Hall, 2004)
The work entitled: "Photography and Society in the 20th Century" states that one can hardly imagine "a technology that had more impact on 20th century life than photography, yet in day-to-day terms, photography was truly the most pervasive." (Garner, nd, p
In fact these images were used for advertising from the middle of the 1800s and advertisers are stated to have "begun to use a repertoire of visual practices, decorative display type, engraved images of products and illustrations that progressively took over the space available from the printed world -- and the public's attention was increasingly captured through visual rather than textual strategies." (Harper, nd, p
" Early shutters are stated to have been "as simple as a cap being removed from the front of the lens and replaced at the appropriate time." (Hughes, 2009) Hughes relates that there was a "sharp increase in the speed of film which made exposure control even more critical and led to the development of new techniques to more accurately control the amount of light which entered the camera
Photography was widely used by anthropologists towards the end of the 19th century as a means of recording visual information about different ethnic groups. (Robinson, 2002, p
It took 30 minutes to expose, not eight hours." (Rodd, 1993) The work of Hughes (2009) states that different shutter mechanisms have been "used over time to help photographers control the exposure of their images
9) It is reported that one of the most frequently addressed aspects of images and politics has been the study of propaganda." (Zelizer, 2006, p
The photographic product that resulted, as Adams himself, noted, was not that much concerned with the "reality" of the scene: "Many consider my photographs to be in the 'realistic' category. Actually, what reality they have is in their optical-image accuracy; their values are definitely 'departures from reality'" (Adams cited in Flagan 11)
Conclusion The research showed that Ansel Adams remains preeminent among early American photographers decades after his death, and his legacy appears to be permanent in this regard. The research also showed that today, Bill Gates owns the electronic rights to all of Ansel Adams works; on April 2, 1996, Corbis Corporation, owned by Gates, reported that it had signed a long-term agreement with The Ansel Adams Publishing Rights Trust for the exclusive electronic rights to works by the photographer (Batchen 6)
