list of how we describe the visual world
You can describe the visual world in many different ways. For example:
research log
Name of Photographer
|
Where I found the photographers
|
My opinion of their work
|
Peter Beard:
|
Book:
|
This photographers work was related to animals and generally hunting of animals. Peter Beard photographs are concentrated on animals mainly. Some of the images include examples of patterns. However they are not focused enough on the formal element of patterns and some of the photos are of hunting scenes which I did not like and would not like to use to represent formal elements in photography.
|
John Cowan:
|
Book:
|
This photographers work was focused on fashion.The pictures were in magazines. I enjoyed looking at John Cowan’s photos because they were very different to other photographs that I have seen before. These images do not really fit into formal elements so I don’t think I will use this photographer. However I do really like his work.
|
|
This photographers work is generally related to the effects of war and a majority of his images show people fighting in action. I really liked Max Alpert’s photography because it shows detail within the buildings that you don’t normally notice in everyday life. This photographer could be good to use throughout my photography work to support formal elements as it shows good use of lines.
| |
Lewis Baltz:
|
This photographer generally takes pictures that are related to buildings. For example different style buildings. . In Lewis Baltz photos he uses a variety of black and white images showing a range of tones. However I don’t think I would use this photographer because I think I would find the images quite boring to look at if I was going to have to study them further.
| |
John Batho:
|
Book:
|
This photographer takes images of different coloured objects against plain backgrounds.
I found John Batho images very interesting to look at because they are very colourful. Some of his images are black and white but still involve colour as he has included colour objects. Therefore this photographer would be one I would consider using further on because it shows clear understanding a use of colour throughout his photographs. |
Book:
|
This photographer takes pictures that relate to fashion. For example, many images were in magazines. Patrick’s images were interesting because I like fashion and portraits used in photography. These images were very similar to each other and didn’t really experiment apart from using different poisons. I will not be using this photographer.
| |
Book:
|
This photographer generally takes photographs of objects that are from the sea/beach or images that are related to the sea. The nature images taken by Alfred Ehrhardt are a perfect example of natural patterns. I will use this photographer to support formal elements because there is clear use of pattern in the images and they are also interesting and usual.
| |
Book:
|
This photographer focused on taking pictures that relate to the queens guards/ soldiers and their movements. These images show good examples of blurring in photography. I like this photographer’s work because I think the blurring technique has been shown very clearly through the marching of the moving soldiers. However I don’t think I will use this photographer because I feel there are better images from other photographers.
| |
Book:
|
This photographers work is focused on photos of buildings. Franco Fontana’s photos show a variety of different colours within each image, placed next to one another. This is a very good example of how colour can be used in photography. Therefore I will be using this photographer.
| |
A lot of the photographs taken by Peter show all different types of shapes, I like these images because the objects are all different shapes and sizes showing a huge range of different shapes. I would definitely consider using this photographer further in my work.
|
Name of
Photographer.
|
Where I found the photographers.
|
My opinion of their work.
|
Gianni berengo gardin
|
Book- photographers A-Z
|
This photographer generally takes photographs of landscapes. I liked these images
because I think they show a good use of tone for the formal elements.
|
Aenne biermann
|
Book- photographers A-Z
|
This photographer took pictures of peoples faces but also included buildings. I think one specific image of a shadow
fits in to the formal element of reflection. However I didn’t like many of
the other pictures.
|
Werner bischof
|
Book- photographer A-Z
|
This photographer generally took photographs of public places and buildings. The same as above with
this photographer. There is one image that shows reflection and also this image shows form because of the shadows. Therefore the objects must be 3D.
|
Karl blossfeldt
|
Book- photographers A-Z
|
This photographer takes photos of dried plants to show shape and pattern. I found these images very interesting and
I will be using this photographer further to evaluate his work. They show the
formal element shape and pattern.
|
Chargesheimer
|
Book- photographer A-Z
|
These images where very
simple compared to other artists work but I think they did show good examples
of depth used in photography.
|
Hermann claasen
|
Book- photographers A-Z
|
This photographers images are of old fashion buildings. I really liked these images because they
looked very old and showed the detail in the falling down buildings.
|
Harold E
|
Book- photographers A-Z
|
This photographer takes photographs of moving objects that create movement. I was very interested in
these images because they show an impact of an object that is captured in the
picture. These photographs show movement (blurring).
|
Gunther forg
|
Book- photographers A-Z
|
This photographer takes a majority of photos of buildings.I didn’t really like these images because
they are a bit plain and simple but they do show a good example of the formal
element lines.
|
Jean-paul goude
|
Book- photographers A-Z
|
This photographer takes photographs of different body shapes/positions. These pictures were
interesting because I’ve never seen photos like this before, they were very
unusual. They show shape through the different body positions.
|
Ernst haas
|
Book- photographers A-Z
|
This photographer generally takes pictures of moving objects and people.These images show good examples of blurring from the movement of an object. These images were very interesting but some were very unclear to see.
