Art Photography

Application

I Think of art as an expression of something that interests you or even of your mind. It interests me when i see abstract art because that show that the artist was probably quite a character. Among the many Art Photographers, a few are Edward Steichen, John Szarkowski and F.Holland Day, these three spent their lives using Photography as a fine art.


Conceptual Photography is a form of using photos to show something that represents and idea, in a conceptual photograph it is not unusual to find rather abstract ideas.

Context

Artists use photo editing methods like trick photography to make bizarre ideas become real, another popular thing to do is blur out the background and focus in on on e particular part of thr picture. Different variations of backgrounds are used, for example studios and real places, it usual is down to what the artist sees.

Techniques

The early artists never had editing programs like we do today. people like Josef Heinreich used other photos and stuck them to one big one. This is the earliest form of Photoshop in a way. But the modern way of doing it gives the artist various different tools to do the job.
