Lewis Baltz is one of the most noted representatives of the 'New Topographics Movement'. This was the influence for later developments of conceptual photography. Baltz's photo series reflects the side effects of industrial civilisation on landscapes which focus on places that are outside, urban wastelands, warehouses and abandoned industrial sites. Baltz's photographs show the similarities between advanced form that are found within art and spatial forms which happen in the world everyday. Baltz's methods involve knowledge of the history of photography in which it positions the photographer as a teacher of seeing things that are visible through reductive gestures. Baltz's was born in Newport, California in 1945. Baltz's studied photography at the Art Institute in san francisco from 1966 - 1969. At the age of 26 he had his first exhibition of photographs in New York. Below are some of his works which have inspired me the most for my final film shoot. ...

This photograph which shows a decisive moment or a captured moment in time, to me seems grotesque because of the murky looking water and the look and feel of the photograph is black and white which also makes the image look grainy and aged which gives the photograph an eerie atmosphere. Henri Cartier Bresson waited for the man to come into the shot, and captured the moment at a specific time, in this case, he waited until the man was leaping across the puddle which makes the viewers left to question what happened next. This photograph makes me feel depressed with the horrible weather that I can see within this photograph. Henri Cartier Bresson The Gare Saint Lazare

Creating a pitch and presenting to everyone else. Editing the audio on Adobe Audition. Acting out the media. Reading the script. Getting the correct lighting for the media. Media. Day 1 I was given the task to read a segment of the book, "The Cat in The Hat" by Dr. Seuss, into a microphone and then editing the audio from the microphone on Adobe Audition. I then added background music to liven up the segment of audio and to add a mood specifically for the story. I did this by following the following steps below. 1. On the file you have chosen, highlight the parts that you don't want/ need. 2. Delete the highlighted parts by clicking delete and then this part should be gone. 3. Once step 2 has been performed then you will need to begin layering the audio files. I...

Ray is now considered as a pioneer of Surrealist photography. Ray's work is very wide-ranging, being a painter, object artist photographer, and filmmaker. Ray is also a part of the Dada and Surrealist movements. Ray was the very first artist whose photographs were increasingly more valuable to collectors than his artistic works. Ray made an important contribution to the revision of photography as an art form. One photograph of Ray's, "Noire et Blanche" (1926) was sold for a large sum of $550,000 in 1998. From 1897, Ray lived and worked in New York taking art evening classes. From 1911 Ray worked as a map illustrator and it was at this time that Ray also began painting and sculpting. In 1912 Ray moved to Paris, ...

There is no manipulation of that light, in the way that a lens manipulates light." - Adam Fuss Adam Fuss was born in 1961 in London but he grew up mainly in Australia. In 1980 Fuss started working as a photographic apprentice at Ogilvy & Mather Agency. He later made a move to New York, this is where he first started to record and document the natural environment around him through photography using a pinhole camera. This later guided Adam to experiment with alternative photographic processes, which later on led to him abandoning using the camera completely. Fuss's photographic works are unique for their contemporary reinterpretation of the earliest techniques of photography, specifically the photograms and camera-less techniques. Fuss believes that to make photographic techniques work, they should be person...

How to process black and white film: (BEFORE STARTING) Take the canister with the film rewound back into it from out of the camera.  Take a developing tank, scissors, film canister opener and the canister of film into a dark room. (IN DARKNESS) Once in complete darkness, open the canister, get rid of the film spool and cut the end of the film. once all that has been done load the film carefully onto the spiral. Then put the central tube through the middle of the spiral and then place it into the tank. Lastly, put the funnel on top of the tank making sure that it is on correctly. (PREPARING CHEMISTRY) Using water at 20 degrees, add one part water and one part X-Tol developer: one 35mm film =  300ml of a mixed solution so (150ml X-Tol + 150ml water = 300ml) so for two 35mm films, just double the mixed solution. (DEVELOPING) Pour mixed developer into the tan and put the lid back on. start a timer once the developer is in the tank. the time should be set for around 10 minu...
