Photography came into being some kind of painting cousins to present the nature and posed portrait

Photography came into being some kind of painting cousins to present the nature and posed portraits. Quite quickly, however, it expanded its territory, so that roughly two World Wars, the time between entering it had roughly the same area and the means of expression as it is today; in very recent years have not brought anything new decisively.
This expansion has come alongside and passes through the discussion on the nature of photography. Is photographing his own aesthetics, its own philosophy or theory of art? What, if anything, is the intrinsic nature of photography? This discussion is understandable for several reasons. First of all, photography is a very young art form, it lacks a number of hundreds of years of tradition. Second, photography is a highly technological consulting engineers group way of expression. Technological change has affected and strongly consulting engineers group influenced consulting engineers group by photography in many ways. Third, and of course the two previous, and especially in the latter context, the social status of photography is changing, now a particularly hard.
Photography is an interesting and complex relationship with time. First of all, the photo very concrete consulting engineers group and banal often said to be a time stopper. Photo, such as advertising men from decade to decade tell us, "to consulting engineers group preserve the most important moments." Film At the time of this arrest and the preservation process was particularly concretely: at chosen time of the photons passed consulting engineers group through a lens system and the hit film, resulting in a chemical reaction in which chemicals to a later processed into a viewable image. The process was a direct, tangible, and very self-motivated. The completed negative consulting engineers group or photo each had a direct material contact a description of the time. The digital description of this connection is a little consulting engineers group blurred, but it might come back to later.
The second and clearly related to the previous level of time is a photography event itself asymmetric temporal process. How do I take a photo? Photo by preparing a fleet, waiting for some kind of pre-planned for the right moment, the moment when, for example, the light is suitable for the image-field elements (street consulting engineers group view, model, hawk, whatever) is aligned with the intended image of the place. Then he presses the shutter button to take a picture (or pictures). After just the picture was taken. He can of course take more pictures, but each of them has a certain time, in a given situation irrevocably taken just as His image. Each picture is taken is then possible to take more pictures of others. consulting engineers group In part this Cartier-Bresson meant by speaking of the decisive moment; the decisive moment to take a photo. Clearly, this element consulting engineers group of time can be stronger or weaker than the type of image, depending on genre. The strongest it has, for example, sports photography, wild animal photography, the classic street photography. consulting engineers group Weak it is, for example, product description, artificial light for the description of the taking of still life and fashion photography. This element is thus a clear link description of the situation reproducibility; what the situation is less reproducible, the stronger is this element of time.
A third relationship involves just as strongly to certain types of snapshots. If we want to understand the description of the document widely, we could say the subject of the perceptible world "as it is" (link Ranken history of the idea here is deliberate). I mean this description, where the graph does not in any way to re-organize the world before shooting, thus the old adage accordance with an eye camera. In reality, the camera does not, of course, never an eye in the sense that it will detect the world "as it is", but that's another story. Such documentary, consulting engineers group unordered image shows, save the world together with the up-state. To elucidate the matter with an example. Look at one of the pictures which you have as a child, let's consulting engineers group say under school age, or primary school age. You will recognize yourself in the picture and you know roughly how old the picture consulting engineers group is, when it has been, you know, or you can work out how old were you at that time. You yourself have shown the same, pictured, described, looks at the picture, you have to yourself familiar; Time is turned in the other direction. You may recall the picture unto you in the clothing or a toy in the hands, you may remember what has happened to them. "After two years bring a jacket consulting engineers group for me it was small and was adopted cousin", "Bring your teddy bear disappeared in the next muutossa." "Well, in that grandpa is still about the breezy" (and for a moment, the image viewing time, ukkinne is still alive). Image elements allow for movement of your time. The picture is likely to be present at the time in other ways. If the picture is taken outdoors, it includes information on the time of year and probably summarily vuorokaudenajastakin; two scales, two levels adds.
