People- most interesting photography topic
Environmental Portraits- setting that says something about person
Formal- emphasize only the person who is the subject
Candid- capture a person going about everyday activities
Almost everyone could afford a photograph over a painting.
Gaspard-Felix Tournachon(France 1820-1910): AKA Nadar- plain black background for artists, writers, and actors
August Sander(Germany 1876-1964)- mainly environmental photos. 1892-1954 Sander took pictures of all types of citizens in an effort to create one huge portrait of his entire nation.
Value is important- range of light and dark areas in a photo
Allow subject to POP
Value also allows emotion. Shadow suggests darker mood. Brightness conveys positive feelings.
Shape is critical when composing an image. Subject= dominant shape
