A taste of dynamism : The Realm of Modern Photography
Photographs are one ubiquitously treasured piece among all existing individuals. An article of priceless value, borrowed possession of fragments of time ! From the birth of a newborn to the parents sending them off to school and them growing up later graduating and settling with their spouses, are all normal and routine elements of life but to each person their memories mean the most. The human mind stocks thousands of memories in a lifetime but barely recollects all details accurately and hence to reminisce the fond ones we hold onto a digitally encrypted version of it, a photograph. From being enclosed within the roll films to archiving them and encasing them in dainty little pendrives, the bailiwick in the field of photography has transcended a long way.
Modern photography entered the chat and the period marked the shift from traditional pictorialist photography to a more direct way of capturing photos, exploiting, and emphasizing the use of and nature of the camera instead of using it as a tool to capture images.It consisted of gradual departure from the principles and limitations that traditional art imposed on photography, such as the taking of photos that resembled painting subjects and the use of soft, almost painterly focus. This new movement started exploring the photographic results of direct manipulation of the camera, using it as a tool to capture lines, shapes, light and shadow, textures, and subjects as they appeared in front of the lens.Straight Photography, an offshoot of Modern photography focused on capturing truthful records of life as seen by the photographer.
Modern photography underwent another gradual shift with the leap from analog to digital which started in the 80s with the invention of the first digital cameras and Adobe Photoshop.Currently newer advents , DSLRs and numerous branches have sprouted ranging from Fashion photography to Product Photography. The industry keeps booming and flourishing everyday.To keep up with all the integral photography trends as well as educate young photographers ARTE Academy lends a hand with premium photography courses.
