Definition of [PHOTOGRAPHY] **Photography, according to the Wikipedia article found [[|HERE]], is the art, science, and practice of producing** **images through a process that requires radiant energy or other forms of electromagnetic radiation to capture** **an image onto a surface (e.g., photographic film).** Origin/Etymology of [PHOTOGRAPHY] **The word, photography, was introduced to the public on March 14, 1839 by a Sir John Herschel. However,** **the word had already been used earlier by a Berlin astronomer in a German newspaper called the //Vossische//** **//Zeitung//. The world photography comes from Greek roots. The first part of the word,** **//phōtos (//φωτός), **
 * means light. While the second part, //graphé (//γραφή), refers to a "representation by means of lines" or **
 * "drawing". Together, these two words refer to a "drawing with light." **

<span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**• __BALANCE__ refers to the distribution of visual weight within a composition.** <span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**Balance is composed of three subcategories:**
 * 1) <span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**SYMMETRICAL BALANCE: This refers to a composition that has its visual weight** **evenly** **distributed along either an x-axis or y-axis. Symmetrical balance does not** **necessarily need to be an exact mirror image as long as the weight is** **distributed evenly.**
 * 2) <span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**ASYMMETRICAL BALANCE: This refers to a composition that has its visual weight distributed unevenly. There is no clear axis that can separate the image equally. There is often a dominant element that throws of the composition "off-balance".**
 * 3) <span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**RADIAL BALANCE: The distribution of visual components/weight around a central point.**



<span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**• __PROPORTION__ refers to** **the comparison between** <span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**a shape or form's weight. Drastic differences in** <span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**visual weight can contribute to a composition's** <span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**depth and credibility.**



<span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**• __RHYTHM__, also known as repetition, is the repetition or pattern of elements in a composition.** <span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**Rhythm is composed of three subcategories:**
 * 1) <span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**REGULAR RHYTHM: The exact repetition of elements. The elements are often similar in size and length.**
 * 2) <span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**FLOWING RHYTHM: The repetition of organic elements that creates a sense of movement in a composition,**
 * 3) <span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**PROGRESSIVE RHYTHM: The usage of elements to show a transition or a progressive change.**

<span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**•****__CONTRAST__, also known as opposition, is the visual distinction or differences between elements** <span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**in a composition. These contrasting elements are usually placed juxtapose of each other to show** <span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**emphasis. Contrast can occur as a result from—but isn't limited to—texture, hue, proportion, or value.**

<span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**• __Harmony__ refers to a composition that is made up of unified and similar elements that work together to make up a piece that looks "right" together. It is similar to several pieces of a puzzle making up an entire picture.**

<span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**• __Variety__ is often seen has the opposite of harmony. Instead of having a uniformed image that shares similar characteristics/elements, variety introduces a foreign element that makes the image unfamiliar.**

This angle is often used** <span style="color: #252525; font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**to reduce an element's dominance and size in the composition.** <span style="color: #252525; font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**• A __Low Angle__ is a result of capturing a subject or image from below. This angle is often used** <span style="color: #252525; font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**to enhance an element's dominance and size in the composition.** <span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**• A __Bird's Eye Angle__ is used to capture an image from directly above. It is sometimes called an** <span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**aerial view as well. This is often used in sports and documentaries.** <span style="color: #252525; font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**• A __Slanted Angle__ is also known as the Dutch Tilt. It occurs when a photographer tilts the** <span style="color: #252525; font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**camera in a way that causes the composition's horizon to be on an angle.**

<span style="color: #a82f2f; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">COMMON SHOT LENGTHS <span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**• A __Extreme Wide Shot (EWS)__ occurs when the camera is panned out so far that there is no** <span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**evident subject. It captures everything as a whole, not really focusing on a specific subject.** <span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**• A __Wide Shot (WS)__, also called a long shot, often captures both the subject and a significant** <span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**amount of the background elements. It is often used to set up a scene with the subject.** <span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**• A __Medium Shot (MS)__ only captures the subject from waist-height and up. It captures** <span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**more detail from the subject than a wide shot but it does expose some elements of the** <span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**background in the shot as well.** <span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**• A __Medium Close Ups (MCU)__, focuses even more on the subject than a normal medium shot.** <span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**It is often shot from shoulder-height and up.** <span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**• A __Close Ups (CU)__ captures detail of one specific element that belongs to the subject.** <span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**• A __Extreme Close Ups (ECU)__ captures detail of one specific seemingly insignificant element.** <span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**For example, this can be a cat's iris, a flower's petal, or even the texture of a pebble.**

<span style="color: #a82f2f; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">TYPES OF LIGHTING

<span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**• __Natural Light__ is the source of light that can be provided by the sun. It is usually ideal and** <span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**versatile. However, due to its unpredictability as a result of weather conditions, artificial light** <span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**may be used instead. It also requires a lot of skill to be able to learn how to work under** <span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**natural conditions to produce good compositions. Examples of natural lighting can be:** <span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**midday sunlight, starlight, reflections, and sunsets.**

<span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**• __Artificial Light__ is the source of light that is generated by an external source of power. It is** <span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**concerete and reliable, therefore, if a natural source of light is unavaliable, photographers** <span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**tend to use artificial light to simulate natural light. Examples of artificial light are: tungsten** <span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**lights, halogen lights, neon lighting, sodium vapour, off-camera flash, and studio strobes.**

<span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**• __Hard Light__ is another source of artificial light that is characterized by its intensity. It allows f****or** <span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**more contrast in a composition and therefore, places more emphasize on form and 3D-planes.**

<span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**• __Soft Light__, or also known as diffused light, is source of artificial light that is evenly distributed** <span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**throughout with low contrast. This is often achieved by bouncing light off another surface.**

<span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**• __Directional Light__ refers to the directional placement of lightsources. By having lights are different** <span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**positions, it can create different moods and empahsize certain traits of a subject. Some examples** <span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**of directional light can be side-lighting which elongates shadows and captures detail; frontal lighting** <span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;">**to create a fuller appearance in subjects; and lower lighting to give the subject a dominant,** <span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -1px;"> **powerful stature.**
