Rock Photography Get the Exposure Right Stage lighting can be tricky, so you have to get your exposure right or you’ll wind up with beautifully composed, crap shots. A camera that allows for clean high-ISO images is a huge advantage as higher ISO settings allow you to keep your shutter speed relatively high, reducing camera shake and better allowing you to freeze action. Watch the Performers Now that you’ve got your exposure sorted, watch the performers. No, I mean really watch the performers. Analyse their performance. How do they move on the stage? Where are their favourite places to stand? What are their idiosyncrasies? Facial expressions? Favourite postures? Signature moves? How do they express emotion? Pyrotechnics, a leap off a speaker stack, entry of a stage prop – and you can plan for these, too. Anticipate Once you know what you’re looking for, anticipate it. If you’ve noticed that a guitarist bends a certain way during emotional moments in his solos, anticipate it, compose for it, and be ready when the moment comes. If a singer leans away from the mike a certain way during soulful pauses between song lines, pre-visualise your shot, get set up for it Compose for form People, instruments, objects on stage and even the glow of stage lights create shapes and lines in the frame. The beautiful lines of a guitar, for example, generally look better from some angles than others, as do the combined lines of the guitar and its player.

I am going to choose In Solitude photography

Fashion Photography

Fashion Photography Has been around for many years one of the earliest fashion and portrait photographers was Sir Cecil Walter Hardy Beaton, CBE (14 January 1904 – 18 January 1980).

Fashion Photography Is used in magazine such as ‘Garzia’ ‘Vogue’ and so on. Fashion Photography is used to sell a product from clothes to Perfume. The Reason the fashion world use beautiful models is so the female get attracted to the product and want to buy it.

Portraits were used normally for personal use, but as the photography world has got more ruthless and more creative portrait are used in fashion magazine book covers and advertisement. A brilliant example is “Mandela: The Authorized Portrait”

The most controversial side of fashion has to be body imaging. Body Imaging is a techinques use to change the way a person looks by airbushing of maybe even changing there whole body i.e. shown in the pictures below:

This technique has been taken up by the public and activist as it manipulates and gives a false idea to the consumer. This has also been a matter that has been taken up by Anna Richardson on the show named 'The Sex Education' it was interesting seeing such young girls saying 'if your fat you are ugly' that on its own shows the power of this technique. The technique has been used on fashion magazines models so they look perfect.

I would like finish off by saying the Airbrushing and body imaging should be banned as it gives people false ideas on how they can look and in some cases can lower self-esteem. Also its not always the editing artist that do the damage its also the agencies that choose under size models. Which is Wrong because Women and Men are all different sizes and shapes.

Portraiture

Portraiture has been around for many years but in the form of paintings and the most famous portrait painting is by MONA LISA by Leonardo Da Vinci. But as technology developed the transition swung into action from Paintings to Photography

Diaine Arbus Was a lady photographer in the 1960s. Arbus was a unique photographer in the sense that she captured the people and almost exploited peoples life’s and faces. Arbus photographed the famous and filthy rich including Konrad matthaeis family, one particular photograph gathered people’s attention and showed what kind of work Arbus did was a picture of Marcella Matthaei 1969. This picture showed her true emotions and really confused the minds of the person in the picture and today’s people. But unfortunately Diaines life was cut short as she took her own life.

Richard Avaden Was an extraordinary photographer that has his own style of portraiture he captured the person behind the mask i.e. made them show who there. He put the person that he took the picture of on a pedestal also he captured the description of the people.

Larry Clark brought the dark side to photography, also he shows raw and sometimes disturbing images. Larry Clark took pictures of nude,sex,drugs and rock n roll . He put some of his pictures in a book entitled "Tulsa".

Photo Journalism

Henri Cartier-Bresson was a photographer in the 1940s and is famousliy known for The Decisive Moment (As showen Below)

This photo was known as to the photography world as a revolutionary photo because it was giving a glimpse of the world war would be like later on. The man in the photo who is jumping over the puddle is known to be jumping in to the wilderness in the other world that Europe was jumping into the wilderness. So this photo is very powerful evidence that Henri Cartier-Bresson was a mastermind behind the camera because if this photo was taken a second quicker or slower the picture would have been a lot different.

Henri Cartier-Bresson is one of the first people to use and own a leica camera. The leica was with a 35mm or maybe even 50mm lens. Henri never used flash because he said "[i]mpolite...like coming to a concert with a pistol in your hand."

War Time Photography
Although photo journalism doesn’t give the whole true story but an Image could be a powerful and do show emotion and makes you think what could be going through the soldiers minds.

Eddie Adams Captured a powerful photo which changed the course of history. He captured the execution of a Vietcong prisoner. Which made America pull out of the Vietnam war.

For me Robert capa was an amazing photographer in the sense that he really did capture the moment in war time photography and showed what gruesome and ugly war is.Robert Capa worked for Life magazine. The most famous work of his was the 'Dying Lost Solider'
Robert capa Went to D-Day with the first batch of soldier and the photographs show the struggle of the soldiers.

Tony Vaccro who was a solider in the army, then inspired by the work of Tony Vaccro decided to take his own journey into war time photography. Tony Vaccro was famously recognized for the World War 2 photographs that he took. The photos that he took were iconic and had a deep story behind them. He used a Argus C3 camera.
