BIRTHDAY PARTIES PHOTOGRAPHY
Birthday party photographers are usually hired when someone wants to celebrate their birthday or a loved ones birthday, these are usually capturing the atmosphere of the party and the members of the party. These photos are generally in very bright coloured and uplifting mood backgrounds and locations, this could be the person blowing out the candles on the cake or the decorated hall or room the party is located in. A common birthday occasion that most people get photogrphed is when babies are born, also known as newborn baby photography, as it is a day the parents want to remember for their children when they grow up. most birthday party photographers take candid photos of the party guests as they look most natural in candids compared to if they were asked to pose for a photo they would need to be still in that pose till the photo is taken, usually on a DSLR camera.

FAMILY PORTRAITS

family portrait photography, dates back as late as the 1920s where alot of the family portraits were taken in black and white as colour was not well developed enough to be used in film cameras, so black and white was the more common photograph type back then. We can see in this image above by gettyimages, that the family of four is looking at the camera but slightly off to the right, they are all very close to another which suggest a close nit family, comapred to modern family portraits, they are still very close to each other, however it'd be less formal poses and would be more casual positions for family portraits, it would also be less formally dressed unless it was a photograph taken for a special occasion, like a dinner party, or a family photo with their grandparents or elders.

HISTORICAL

historical photography is a style of photography which usually consists of capturing the historical moments we have lived through as people on earth, such as old photos from the first and seconds wars, when america elected their presidents throughout the years. these types of photos allow the generations of the coming future to look back at these photographs and will be able to learn about its history, they usually teach this in high schools or college courses that consists of history of the use, and the uk. We can see in this image above that it is based around people working in a factory, probably around the 1920-1930s, probably based

Got this image from carynesplin.com

This image is different than the other ones I have found.
Again,  multiple exposures had been shot and blended together to create this image. The light comes mostly from the right hand side overhead and it is quit  harsh as we can see some really bright highlights on tomatoes and the edges of the scales and some dark, defined shadows. I think that the light used for this image really helped to enhance the colours of the vegetables and the whole set and I like how colorfu  this image is. I also like the way photographer highlighted just some parts of the set, but not just any random parts, but the most important part I think, which makes the image really interesting, make it pop in my opinion.

Found this image at edphilipswildlife.com
For this image photographer has definitely shot and used multiple exposures, as we can see that the background is lit a little bit and the subject and table were lit separately. The light on the subjects comes from top right side, as we can see some shadows on the left hand side and some highlights on the right.
Very soft light was used, just bright enough to reveal some of the texture on the subject’s surface.  The colour are dull and not very interesting but that just  shows that thes  objects are very old. I think in this image photographer tried to focus more on shapes and textures of these old objects.

I really like this image. I'm guessing that multiple exposures were shot and blended together as it would be really hard to light this subject the way photographer did in one go. Light used was really soft and it comes from different directions, but mostly from left ant top. I like the way photographer highlighted mostly flowers and that the background is dark, as that helps to draw attention to the flowers. Nice, soft light looks really well with those soft, settle colours of the flowers and it all works really well creating really nice, pleasant to look at image.

Found this image on dirkerckenimages.com
To light this image photographer used a flashlight, and I think that the light wast quite harsh as there’s a lot of contrast and it revealed a lot of texture on the subject. This could've been done by shooting multiple exposures, I'm not too sure about it though. The light comes from overhead right hand side, judging by the shadows. I thinkt that along with the lighting, shooting this image in black and white helped to emphasise the texture and details of the subject.

# data[].attributes.body
I have found this image at haroldrossfineart.com
in this image the light is coming from above, as we can see a shadow right below the subject. Colours are very settle and the light is quite soft but it still helped to emphasise the texture of the leaf. The background is very dark and that makes the leaf stand out from it. I think that this image has been shot in single exposure.

Giovana Griffo

I found this image on 500px.com, I think this image is very successful as the photographer has managed to bring out a lot of detail on the subjects, such as the texture of the pomegranates and cloth. The colours are very rich and prominent making the image stand out and catch the viewer's attention. Giovana has also used very sharp and harsh lighting as there are a lot of contrast and dark shadows, this helped highlight the details of the fruit and cloth rather than using very soft lighting.

Heidi Egerman

I also found this image on 500px.com, this photo has a very calm and natural feel as it is very well laid out and the lighting is very soft and warm, giving off the feeling of calmness and simplicity. I believe the photographer has used a wide light source such as a panel light, to light this set as the light spreads and covers most of the set, compared to a narrow light source that would result in harsher shadows, the set has also mainly been lit from the right hand side of the image.

Emily Voss

I sourced this image from savageuniversal.com, this image is very elegant and professional due to the materials used and the textured of the objects. The scene has been lit with a narrow light-source as the shadows and highlights are very harsh, this has brought out the textures and colours of the objects on set very well.

Harold Ross

There are two different sources of light, this can be seen in the reflection of the pots. They are both coming from the top left hand side and directly from the right hand side. The use of the soft light source has given the image a very calm and professional look, the image is also not too cluttered and is kept very simple.

Mike McGinnis

This image is a composite, the photographer has captured great detail in the subjects such as the wood and metal using a harsh light source. This image is very interesting as there are a lot of different subjects for the viewer to look at.

History of Photo Collage with Sarah Hadley

# data[].attributes.body
Surrealism began just after the first world war when peoples thought and views changed due to the violence and the horrors that people had seen and experienced. Photography was seen as a way of expressing dreams with reality and using different techniques to develop the new surreal images.
This image is called a day dream composed in 1938 by Angus Mcbean he was a famous portrait photographer. He would build sets and stage scenes in his studio to create Surrealist pictures, but also experimented with multiple negatives and dramatic lighting.
The uncanny is a movement that was introduced in 1919 by Freud who included his thoughts on this matter in his dissertation. His thinking was that an  image can be interpreted differently by different people and the interpretations could take on a impossible image. reality and illusion, self and other, life and death, the natural and the unnatural.

Julie Powell

Julie Powell is an Australian still life and portrait photographer. She says she gets a buzz when having created an amazing image for herself or helping someone else create their own image. ''life is meant to be enjoyed so have fun!'' Julie tried lots of different photography genres to find one she enjoyed the most. It's all about experimenting. Julie spent years looking through magazines and images online, she studied photography studying lighting, staging and styling.

The lighting is coming from the top right of the photograph shining down on the object. The numbers maybe indicate how low or high the pressure is when the object is switched on. The object I think is used for the fire brigade when they are pumping out water and this object tells how much pressure the water is putting onto the fire.

Heidi Egerman

Heidi Egerman is an international, award winning fine art garden photographer with a passion for still life light painting. Heidi always loved the quietness of gardening and the scene of nature. Heidi's garden helped grow her passion for photography. Heidi spends a lot of time learning and perfecting her light painting skills. The work that Heidi has produced shows how she paints with light creating moments of drama and tension. Heidi says ''I hope that my work will make you pause for a moment to appreciate the abundance that Mother Nature provides us every day. I want my images to provide a sense of wonder and I hope they cause the viewer to stop and think''.

The lighting is coming from the top and from the right of the photograph. There is a contrast of hard and soft light within the photograph. Almost all the object is lit, some of the screws are lit softly as one end and the other end seems to be dark creating small shadows.

Harold Ross

Harold Ross was born into a military family in 1956. Harold grew up in New Mexico and Germany. His parents were adventurous and took him on outings almost every weekend camping in the mountains and the desert. When Harold moved to the US, he began photographing and as a teenager he purchased his first camera and he still uses the same camera today.

The history of Collages
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xQManEmnPo
What do you think when you hear the word collage? I think of small pictures from newspapers or small photo prints. Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque who began to stick newspaper cuttings and other materials into their canvases in 1912. Since then artists have used snipping and sticking in an attempt of bringing the world around us into unusual, unexpected and creative combinations on a canvas. According to the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh that is not a true statement. After a survey it came up that collages are much older and they extend much further into the boundaries of art history.Also Collage came back to about the victorian times where collage techniques were practiced.

In 1100s Japanese artists began to stick paper onto silk. In 1400s in Europe , Paper collage is first recorded. In 1500s , the technique was then being used to create flap-books for medical purposes. In Victoria era , the collage technique was used in scrapbooks and homemade valentine's cards which hasn't changed to this day.

Why is Collage so Important?

Collage is so important because it's helped lots of artists express themselves and show their talent. Collage helps develop their reasonings, creative imaginative and problem solving skills.

Who were the Protagonists?

The main Protagonists were artists called Georges Braque and artist Pablo Picasso

Work that stands out

Juan Gris

This collage uses a bottle label as central element around which the collage is created. This piece also has cubist shapes inspired by Braque and Picasso.

Artists Quotes

Pablo Picasso says 'Art is a lie that makes us realize truth'.

Vicent Van Gough says 'Great things are done by a series of small things brought together'.

James McNeil Whistler says 'An Artist is no paid for his labor but for his vision'.

Vintage photography is one of the oldest types of social photography, for these images, the cameras could capture one picture at a time and it was very time-consuming so the people would have to stay very still for a long time to get their photo taken. The lighting was probably a flash attached to the camera as this is what cameras typically had back then. The posing was kept quite simple and often had people sitting or leaning on something as they had to pose for quite some time. A lot of photography today has been inspired by vintage photography.

History of Collage

First starting at the start of the 20th century, collage art started as a style of novelty art. This form included many varying materials being glued together to make unique forms of art that at the time had never been done before. Taken from the French word coller meaning to glue or stick together, the word collage explained the steps that were taken when creating collage art. Collage art was first discovered by Cubist Artists, George Barque and Pablo Picasso who were the first to explore this movement. As the first two artists to experiment with different materials with the idea to make art, Barque and Picasso started their assemblages around 1910.

The first example of collage art was displayed in Barques artwork, "Fruit Dish and Glass" in 1912, where he used wood grained wallpaper and glue. Gaining inspiration Picasso began to use newsprint to his oil paintings referencing the current events taking place, he also glued rope round the edges of his canvases. Pioneers of the Collage Art movement, Barque and Picasso created their art from glued bits of newspaper, coloured paper and found objects.

Videos about The History of Collage

The Main Protagonists

The two main protagonists were both Cubists Artists, Georges Barque and Pablo Picasso they were the first artists to adopt and experiment with this technique.

The Main Movements

Collage was the main technique used in the Dada, Pop Art, Neo-Dada and Surrealist movements, these movements all experimented with different subject matters. Due to collage being often linked to mass produced images, it is often linked to political and political context, meaning it can portray very important messages.

The Early Years of Collage

Hannah Hoch is a German artist, born in 1889 and passed in 1978. She was famous for her political collage work, her work would include text and graphics from popular media and she would use them to express her thoughts and options about the wrong doings of the Weimar German government. She based her ideas around gender issues and became widely known as a feminist artist.

One of her most famous pieces, the Das schone madchen (The Beautiful Girl) was effective at acting as a reaction against the western words idea of beauty and the way it was advertised and displayed to the public. She managed to highlight how absurd and unusual this idea was by using individual cut outs of "socially acceptable" ideas of beauty and sticking it all together to create something strange and houmorus, meaning you shouldn't let it fool you.

Surrealism

Some of the well known surreal artists . include Pablo Picasso (1881-1973),Max Ernst (1891-1976) , Joan Miro (1893-1983), Andre Masson (1896-1987), Rene Magritte (1898-1967), Yves Tanguy (1900-1955), Salvador Dali (1904-1989)

What is Surrealism and when did it begin?

The surrealist movement was started by French poet Andre Breton who was from Paris. Surrealism was an artistic and literary movement. The movement that championed individualism in the 17th and 18th century.

Breton had studied medicine and psychiatry and was well-versed in the psychoanalytical writings of Sigmund Freud. He was particularly interested in the idea that the unconscious mind-which produced dreams-was the source of artistic creativity.

Who are some of the most well-known surrealist artists?

Photographers - Surrealism

Icons of Surrealism

Breton recruited a wide group of artists and intellectuals already active in Paris to write for and exhibit under his banner.

Surrealism in the Americas

A movement started in Paris in the 1920s. Surrealism was around during World War One and it saw the rise of fascism across Europe and cities. In 1937 most of the figures in surrealism were forced to leave Europe to escape Nazi persecution.

Uncanny

What is uncanny and when did it begin?

Uncanny began in 1919, its a concept in art associated with the psychologist Sigmund Freud. The concept describes a strange and anxious feeling sometimes created by familiar objects in unfamiliar contexts.

Photographers - Uncanny

Parasol unit foundation for contemporary art is delighted to present Magical Surfaces: The Uncanny in Contemporary Photography, an exhibition that explores the uncanny as exemplified in the works of seven artists from two generations, all of whose work includes in different forms the use of photography as a medium.

Uncanny in film making

Vertigo is a 1958 American film noir psychological thriller film directed and produced by Alfred Hitchcock. The story was based on the 1954 novel D'entre les morts (From Among the Dead) by Boileau-Narcejac.

Alfred Hitchcock, adopts the various factors that cause the uncanny to alter Scottie's identity and beliefs. Ultimately, when Scottie is transformed from a rational being to a psychotic obsessive, it serves to indicate the severity of Scottie's mental instability and his detachment from reality.

Part 1 - Research Creatively Manipulated Images

Mohamed el Nagdy
https://www.moelnagdy.com/about
Mohamed el Nagdy is a creative working director art based in Dubai. He is holding a BFA Degree with ten years of experience in multinationals as well as regional agencies in the MENA region. Mohamed has been exposed to lots of different working environments and cultures and he said its opened his mind from a young age to a multitude of ideas and different insights. Also Mohamed's work has earned him multiple awards at regional shows such as The African Cristal Festival and AD stars.

I found this image on Mohamed Elnagdy's website. I think this image looks really simple but really striking. The key successes of creative manipulations in this image are the shapes of the objects and how they come together to create an imaginative image. The image hooks me in and makes me want to eat it even though the microphone is not an eatable object. The colours in this image vary the light brown ice cream cone and the grey microphone. The colours have a good contrast and the background makes the overall image stand out. The image makes you want to get this flavour of ice cream and the background is helping with the vibrant colour of purple. The holes of the top of the microphone look like small spots of sprinkles. Looking at this image you have to use your imagination, microphones are usually hard and can be unbreakable. The lighting is coming from the left of the image as I can see small highlights on the microphone. The message that the image is trying to give is that its trying to get viewers to buy an ice cream.

Vanessa Mckeown is a London-based photographer and art director. She says" the good things are beautiful enough to be worthy of being mixed together in order to create even more adorable things". In her photographs the everyday objects that are used pick up a new life. Good things are beautiful things and they are worth putting together to create an even more beautiful image. The pastel colour backgrounds that Vanessa uses make the objects come to life.

The key successes of creative manipulations in this image are that parts of the bottom of a pair flip flops have been removed. Vanessa has then placed them in two pieces of bread to create an imaginative pair of flip flops. There is a limit palet of colours , there is a contest between the black and white. There are some highlights showing on the film flops creating a shiny look.

The two photographs above were made and produced by Stefano Girardelli. Stefano has managed to successfully create cubes using photoshop with fruit that he likes. He has added depth, texture and colour to each image to make them stand out. The fruit has been shown and produced in a different shape and I wondered what it would be like to eat it. The lighting is coming from the left side on the pineapple cube photo, brightening up the yellow underneath the skin. The other side of the pineapple looks darker with a small shadow, overall creating contrast. The right side is darker and that helps the pattern and detail become a strong visual point.

Viktoria Solidarnyh is a digital Ukrainian artist and photographer that has mastered photo manipulation. She has made the fruit look like tiny houses and she has added windows and a chimney. She then has used a landscape photo for the fruit houses to be placed on. The detail in the pear and plum are so striking as they are both in focus. The strawberry house is out of focus to show the shallow depth of field like you would use in your camera.

Collage which is a word from the french "culler" which means "to stick" is a type of media which could be a selected assortment of images or different things such as newspapers, or magazines stuck together to create one single image.
Early college artists
With the 20th century artists were looking at different things to evolve their crafts such as collage, many different artists since then it has been used by many different artists such as Picasso, Braque, Brenton and many others, collage was quickly evolved more to be a politically motivated during the first world war.
History of collage Main protagonists
The main protagonists of the collage would be Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque with it been sen in Picasso's compotier avec fruits in 1912 and Braque fruit dish and glass 1912, collage was inspired by early dadaism with the diverse medium which allowed the artists to create work that recall feeling from that point

In the early years of collage Picasso's work stands put to me as it shows him using only the one light colour such as blue and the rest of the image being dark making it stand out more against it.

Cross Polarisation

Cross polarising is where you use two of polarising filters, one on the camera and one on the light source located behind the subject. This highlights the stress in the plastic highlighting the mesmerising multicoloured patterns. This used to be very challenging as the filter required for the backlight had to be large in size and polarising gels are not just hard to find but are also very expensive. Though there are modern day solutions such as your LCD computer monitor, as it has the polariser built in, all you need to do is open up an empty word document or a white wallpaper and you'll be able to see the effect of cross polarisation right away.

Cross polarisation has been used in dentistry since the late 1990s as it helps with illuminating the teeth to be filtered for one direction of light wave, then reflected light is organized in the opposite direction as it travels through the filter and recorded by the DLSR sensor. This is used for implant restorations the ceramist can easily examine the shape of the dentin portion of the tooth to help develop the custom implant.

Time Lapse

Time lapse focuses on majorly sped up videos, a good time lapse location will show interesting changes over time. Depending on how quickly the location changes the overall production time of your video could span an hour, a day, a month or even a year. The first use of time lapse in a film was in 1897 in Georges Melies motion picture Carrefour De L'Opera.

The equipment required to produce such images include a tripod, when creating a time lapse you will need something to keep the camera in place to reduce camera shake and double exposure. You could even use other specialist equipment such as a magic carpet slider, it is very useful for offering a number of points of view, but especially in the weight and size department, It weighs a fraction of other similar sliders at just 2.75 pounds, and you can add a two foot extension for 2,2 pounds more if required.

Time lapse photography can be used for a lot of different things, for example studying glacial activity is a common topic. According to founder James Balog, the Extreme Ice Survey is a long term photography project which merges art and science to create a visual voice for the plants changing ecosystems. The EIS was the main subject of the multi-award winning documentary Chasing Ice which highlights the challenges and results of setting up a long term time lapse in the Artic.

Creative Long Exposure

Creative long exposure such as light painting, is a technique using a moving light source for example a flash light, to light up the subject while taking a long exposure image. You can then paint the subject and light it however you want as the camera will capture all light entering the lens whilst the shutter is open, instead of capturing an image as its presented you are creating an image for the camera to capture.

To create such images you will need equipment such as, a DLSR camera capable of manual settings such as bulb mode. You will also need a tripod, this is one of the most important pieces of equipment when producing long exposure images, as your shutter will be open for several minutes and it is very important that your camera doesn't move while the shutter is open. Shutter release or a remote shutter release are also useful to begin your exposure. If you do not posses any of these use your cameras self timer mode to start the long exposure shot. It is crucial you do not touch your camera or tripod during the exposure.

Some things to consider whilst shooting long exposure shots is your camera mode it should be set to manual mode, to allow you full control over your shutter speed and aperture. You should also be using a low ISO such as 100 to reduce noise within your image. Set your aperture to f/8 or f/10 this will allow you to get more depth of field and a longer shutter speed.

High Speed Flash

All cameras have a shutter sync speed, the maximum shutter speed the camera is able to use with flash. For most cameras this will be 1/250, although it can be slightly faster or slower depending on the camera. Cameras have two shutter curtains moving along with one another during an exposure. If your exposure is 1/250 or lower the shutter curtains will not overlap one will be restricted whilst the other will be moving. But if you shoot faster than 1/250, the rear curtain will close before the front curtain has has a chance to fully open. Resulting in a section of the image being blocked from the flash, you will then ned up with a dark band across your final image. But thanks to High Speed Sync Flash photography you can now shoot faster than 1/250. In some cases you can even shoot up to speeds of 1/8000, with HyperSync.

When taking an outdoor portrait your TTL meter may be telling you that the f-stop should be set to f/16 with a 1/125 shutter speed. These settings will result in too much depth of field, meaning everything will be in focus. Instead the main concern is having a sharp subject with a soft blurred background, this can be done with an aperture of around f/2. That is six stops difference, meaning the shutter speed now needs to n=be increased to 1/5000, this can be done by setting the flash to High Sync Speed.

High speed flash photography can be used for things such as sports photographers, when shooting fast moving sporting events such as NASCAR, bike racing and horse racing.

Macro Greater Than Life Size

To create some effective macro images is to use a lens which allows you to shoot at 1:1 magnification, and some more expensive lenses are able to shoot more than that. Some canon macro lenses can go up to 5:1, or 5x magnification. Though the ideal magnification is 1:1, for more flexibility. When working with macro your working distance is very important, for example if you are too close to your subject you might end up scaring your subject or even blocking light. The ideal working distance should be six inches (15 cm) For the smallest magnification of 1:1 you have to be as close as possible to your subject to achieve the best images. Whereas lenses with a longer focal length will have more working distance, for example the Nikon 200mm f4 and the Canon 180mm f/3.5 both have a large working distance, compared to the Nikon 60mm f/2.8 macro lens with less.

The best cameras to use for macro with the highest magnification possible are full-frame cameras, the Nikon D850 with 46 megapixels does not even come close to the 20 megapixel Nikon D7500, as the D7500 has a higher pixel density.

The best subjects to photograph includes things such as, leaves, water droplets, rocks, snow and flowers. All of these subjects provide very interesting and unique textures and patterns that cannot be seen by the naked eye.

Slow Motion

Slow motion shots are often used in movies and TV shows to make usually boring scenes more dramatic, for example during fight scenes making them more exciting and effective. To film in slow motion first you will need to set your camera to slow-motion mode, if you are using a digital SLR camera set your picture size to high resolution. This will result in the picture quality being a lot sharper than the low-resolution mode. It is extremely difficult to get a sharp shot of anything when filming in slow motion so focus the shot carefully, before filming make sure you have everything focused properly. Lastly, take the shot at an ideal speed. Slow motion looks better when taken at 1/8 of the normal speed, at 8 frames per second rather than 24.

Though increasing your cameras shutter speed can have negative effects on your final results, as it lets in less light this means you must be in a very well lit area or you will have to increase your aperture or even your ISO. Both of these could cause issues with the quality of your final images by making it too blurry and difficult to focus or too grainy due to the high ISO. So if you are shooting outside on a sunny day this will work in your favour, but when shooting inside you will need extra lighting such as standard construction work lights or professional quality fresnels. When shooting in slow motion it is important to use a tripod as even short, small vibrations can result in long irritating wobbling. Avoid the auto focus feature when shooting, when you're shooting in slow motion autofocusing will result in lens pulsing meaning the video will go in and out of focus.

Digital Infrared

While the human eye cant perceive IR light specially made infrared cameras and extended IR filters can capture it. Single lens reflex (SLR) and digital single-lens reflex (DLSR) cameras use a mirror and prism that allow photographers to see an IR image. If you shoot infrared with a digital camera you will need really strong sunlight to get the best infrared effects. Whist you can shoot in an any weather conditions, if the light isn't strong you will find that a lot of your images will have a soft appearance, with no sharp detail and will look grainy.

Some equipment you will need is a tripod, a special infrared filter and any camera that is sensitive to infrared light. Infrared photography is a type of photography that uses a special film or cameras that can recognise and reproduce infrared light (IR light). IR light is a division within the full spectrum of electromagnetic radiation (EMR), which travels in wavelength longer than the visible light spectrum. When editing your images you should first set the white balance and choose something that should look white in the scene. Next you should swap the colour channels around and replace red with blue and blue with red, also split the green channel 50/50 between red and blue. Finally in the blue channel, change it to +90 green +red and -90 blue for stronger colours and great contrast.

IR photography also has many uses outside of creative endeavours including medical and dental imaging, military surveying, astronomy, and technical art examination. Law enforcement also utilizes digital infrared photography to document evidence that the naked eye cant see.

Wedding photography has been happening since the beginning of photography, the way wedding photographs are taken is constantly changing though. Wedding photography can be done in may different ways, depending on the preference of the couple. Many couples like to have a set of photos with their families and friends to remember their day, while others want more photos of just themselves. Wedding photographers tend to use on camera flashes so they don't have to use a big set up and carry it around.

Again, many couples have different ideas on wedding photography posing and composition. Some prefer to have very structured and specifically posed photographs, while others prefer to have more candid photographs. Wedding photographs are lit very naturally like a photograph would be taken on a phone. Most wedding photographers will also take photos throughout the ceremony and throughout the wedding so guests don't have to worry about trying to get loads of photos themselves.

Modern or family photography can be used for a variety of different reasons. Mostly it is used as a sentimental/personal image more than anything else as many people like to have photos of their family around the house. Family photography lighting techniques can vary depending on the photographer and location. If it is being shot on location photographers will tend to use an on camera flash, similarly to wedding photography. Sometimes photographers shooting on location may use a simple off camera flash with an umbrella. If the photo is being in a studio then the photographer will have different studio lights and reflectors.

Family photography posing and composition usually depends on the family and photographer. Families may have a specific reason for the photos, such as a wedding or baby announcement, and would want specific people at the front to show this. Other times families may want the youngest/smallest at the front and the oldest/tallest at the back.

vintage

There has been a massive change in social photography since it first began. Due to the technical equipment vintage social photography models would have to stay absolutely still as it would take a long time to expose images correctly.

The two images above would've been made by using film and are the oldest images of social photography I could personally find. The image quality is quite grainy and no colour which makes the subjects look lifeless and emotionless.

There are many types of photography which fall into social, one is wedding which is a good way of seeing what grandparents and great grandparents looked like as many photos from this time are in a semi good condition as when they were printed they were made to last.

There are many vintage family photos like this which again lets family members from years to come look back and see clothing styles, hair styles, jewellery styles etc of their ancestors. A morbid fact I found out while researching this is that in some vintage photographs a recently passed away family member could sometimes be in images such as babies/young children or elder parents.

As photography costed a lot to do, it was only really wealthy and rich families of the time that could get their portrait done that even some went as far to get their animals portraits done.

In this image you can instantly see how photography has progressed over the last century, the main difference you'd notice at first is the fact images are now in colour instead of the lifeless black and white which also makes images more appealing to look at. There is also a lot of detail in the fur which you don't get in the vintage images as it looks very grainy.

Baby photography

Baby photography has been around for a good while but only really became popular in the 1990s, it wasn't as common as other social photography genres until the past few decades. Digital photography also made this kind of photography shoot up in popularity as it meant you could be as creative as you wanted and take as many shots as you needed until it was perfect for what you or the babies family wanted it to be.

The example image I have used is a perfect example of baby photography as it shows how the sets are not harmful to the babies and are actually quite delicate and soft. Which also portrays the innocence of a newborn.

Wedding photography

Wedding photography has always been a big part of social photography and has been around for decades. These type of portraits can make you a lot of money in the photography world as there is a high demand for wedding photos as a lot of couples and families like to make up wedding albums so they can look back on the memories of that day and the people who were also there. it also has a very creative aspect to it as you can do these portraits inside and outside.

In 2022 something called candid photography trend came about which became a massive part of wedding photography at that time. This kind of photography included the family members, friends, relatives and the bride and groom themselves which is now a big big part of this kind of photography. Which can be kept digital or printed.

Family photography

Family photography has remained a big part over the years of social photography, although image quality, photographers creativity and diversity of sets has improved. Cameras have improved in the fact images are now in colour creating a more lively and appealing image. The creativity of the photographers sets, outfits for the family members and lighting techniques creating a unique image to that family.

This type of Photography in my opinion is probably one of the most important for memory books/photo albums as it captures times where you were with a certain family member which can bring comfort if they move country and you cant see them in person or if you're looking back on the book and find memories you had forgotten

what is surrealism and when did it begin?

surrealism photography is when the photographer takes certain objects, people or places and transforms them into a fantasy or dream like scene from their imagination.The images are achieved through combining 2 or more incompatible objects to make this dream like or even funny scenes.

This type of photography comes from the "Surrealist manifesto" in 1924 just 6 years after the First World War in Paris. This manifesto came to pass due to many peoples sense of sanity and reality had become distorted due to the war they had just endured. The first man to publish this manifesto was Andre Brenton. This manifesto rejected "normal" ways of seeing our world and instead looking to dreams and our imaginations for inspiration. Brenton believed day to day life had been distorting our creative side so looked to dreams and imagination for inspiration as there is more creative freedom in our minds than there is in the real world. Surrealism is a type of photography that embraces the shocking, absurd and even unconventional.

Who are some of the most well known surrealist artists?
