Surrealism

| perlaj41

The meaning of surrealism is an art in photography that expresses an otherworld, dreamlike photoshop, unconscious ideas, and emotions.

Surrealism is basically, a strange and bizarre photo of different things and or people mashed together. I choose this picture made by, Carlo salomoni, because I love how to colors work together. The reason this picture is a surreal image is because, multiple things don’t belong together in the image. You also can’t really tell what each of the main subjects are. The image also gives an imaginative type of look to gather the viewer’s attention. The image also distracts the viewer by getting the fever dream type of look by having the viewer, ‘guess’ what each aspect of the photograph is, since the idea of surrealism is to have an experimental unconscious feeling. Another reason I choose this image as an example of surrealism because, the image had an imaginative feel to it. I also choose this because I really liked how the eye is poking out and is being held up by human hands, even though those hands shouldn’t be there. This image is also an example of surrealism because, there are multiple things that shouldn’t be in that area like, the giant eyeball, the human and snail, and the tree looking guy. As well as those stairs Infront of the snail, and the multiple things on the grass floor.

The photograph is an example of shadow works in photography. Firstly, the photographer decided to make the photo black and white so the shadows will POP more. In the image theirs a shadow the photographer edited in the picture, the shadow of a body which is just shown once. The photographer decided to keep the shadows lighter than to darken them a bit when editing. They also made sure to have a main subject to catch the viewers’ attention as well as having diagonal lines. It appears to have been taken in an office or a personal business area. The photographer made a good job keeping the extra shadow job clean as you can barely tell the body was added in. They also made sure there was a main subject and a sub subject, the chair and the human body. I also noticed how the photographer had specifically kept the shadow of the person sitting down on the floor, you can kind of see the person’s knee if you look closely.

I believe this is a successful photograph of texture since it showily focuses on the bee and shows its details. I chose this picture because, I liked how the texture on the bee could be clearly seen. I also love the colors on this photo, the colors don’t clash and just go together. This picture is also a close up so I’m sure the photographer went on the floor to capture this shot since it looks like the bee is on the middle of a flower.

What I learned about camera exposure

| perlaj41

Camera exposer is basically controlling how bright and or dark the photo will be due to the three settings: ISO, aperture, and shutter speed. The aperture controls how much light enters the lens, the shutter speed controls how slow (fast) the shoot takes, and ISO controls your camera’s sensitivity. The faster the shutter speed the more a moving object will stay still, while the slower the more motion blur is there though you should be shooting at 60th of a second while hand holding. The aperture setting is basically which lens you plan on shooting with, the bigger the lens the more light gets inside the hole, though only shoot with a HUGE lens in a dark room like a hallway. Finally, the ISO setting, it determines how sensitive the camera is to the incoming light. Although unlike the other settings, the iso speed (settings) is always desired to be at a lower speed since the higher the speed the more pixelated the image gets.
