Beauty In Photography

In my opinion, beauty in a picture only exists if the viewer feels the emotion from what was captured, or has a connection with it in some way, shape or form. Beauty in photography often varies from things people find attractive, to scenes of hopelessness or even changes in history. It really all depends on the audience. For instance, a picture of a man crying may be something a person may not find enchanting, but just suppose that it may be from the first glance of his new baby daughter. This simple addition completely changes the mood into something almost magical. Also, a shot of a soldier saving another man is not pretty, but uplifting. These pictures represent something beautiful.

Happy Halloween!

Wonderful Tilt-Shift

Some Macro Photography

I had a great time taking these pictures because it motivated me to save money for a better camera! I love precision and different angles.

This man was known as an American photographer who became better known in the early 20th century for his galleries in New York. He also introduced many European artists to America.

Wet Day on the Boulevard, 1894, Alfred Stieglitz

 

 

This photo is by far my favorite picture taken by Alfred because it shows the routine of people long ago. I love how he captured the texture of the ground and included the building on the left to add reality amongst the people walking. The fog is beautiful. ______________________________________________

His wife, Georgia O'Keeffe, was just as creative as him, being known for magnifying enlarged paintings of blossoms or buildings on large-format canvases. Her paintings were almost an illusion of closeness towards whatever she was inspired by.

Blue and Green Music

Ex: I believe they both had a wonderful relationship with each other because the two benefited from one another in their favorite interests. Alfred organized annual showings of her work, and was inspired with her creativity.

The (Well-Known) Brownie Camera

A Brownie Camera, as described with the helpful source of wikipedia, describes this camera as a simple and affordable camera series. Invented by a man named Eastman Kodak, the first brownie camera was first introduced in February, 1900. The camera changed society by making taking pictures affordable and a necessity among families. An Austrian architectural critic Joseph Lux praised the camera for its cultural potential.
