Photography Is Expressionism

Photography’s New Age Of Expressionism

No medium of expression has ever appealed immediately to so many people, nor has any medium but spoken or written language been so universally used. On a basic level, photography implies taking pictures of all sorts of things: models, friends, objects, bridges and cars. For the serious photographer the photo is a means of seeing and understanding more about the significant details of life and the world around us.

Exposing Your Thoughts To Light

Without light there is nothing: no sight, no color and no form. Light makes photography possible. Light illuminates the subject so you can create the image in your mind. Light is the sparkle that makes the familiar strange or the strange familiar. Light empowers you to expose creativity to the digital realm. Light trains your eyes to distill the important from extraneous. Light is exposure.

Photos Communicate Information

Photography has become an art form of our technological age–fast, accurate and at many times automatic. Taking pictures is an efficient and powerful way of communicating information, an unmatched way of spanning time and space. In the hands of any perceptive person, the camera possesses a unique power: it can reproduce the present with fidelity of no other medium.

Capturing The Moment Time Stopped Still

To quickly capture precious moments, the photographer must work to become invisible, blending into scenes as they unfold naturally. The best photographers have the ability to listen on many levels – to body language, to facial expressions and behaviors – so you are prepared for what may happen and not intrude on a moment. Capturing that perfect moment may be your biggest challenge because by their nature moments are fleeting.

Images Convey Wonder, Mood And Emotion

Wonder when captured in a photograph is to bear witness to have proof that extraordinary things do exist. These pictures take our breath away and make us want to share them with others. Mood refers to the measure of human response when the photograph reveals something never seen before or seen in a fresh, new way. Photos convey emotion through insight, curiosity and the expression of the child inside every one of us. Some photographers, pursuing this compelling sense of mood, have literally given their lives in search of images so fantastic that they must be captured.

Slowing Down The Passage Of Time

Time is fleeting. When we look at a photograph, we are seeing a moment that no longer exists. Some images stand out because they stop or blur time. These are wonderful images of raindrops falling, lightning flashing and athletes frozen in movement. There are also time exposures that allow us to see movement within the still frame. The traffic merges, the laundry flutters in the wind and the water flows. Until the camera seized it, time was an unstoppable traveller. Specific moments in time could only be recalled from memory – sometimes clear, often cloudy. Those memories could be described or painted or set to music, but the gift of recalling a visual memory precisely is beyond most people’s memory skill.

Time Is The 4th Dimension In Every Photograph

Time is perhaps the least understood tool in the photographer’s camera bag. The truth is all photographers are time exposures – some instantaneous, some painstakingly long. The look and feel of a photograph can be profoundly changed by how long the shutter is open. Time can reveal a fourth dimension. In addition to the height, breadth and depth captured in an image, a time exposure allows us to see the stretching of time or a moment that happens faster than the human eye can perceive. The endlessly flexible tool of time exposure adds energy and life to photography.

Art And Science Of A Picture

The charm of photography is we discover things for the first time as we record them. Nearly everyone has seen an amazing photograph in the making before them and rushed to capture it. The trick for any photographer in these situations is to pick up their jaw-up off the floor and capture “the moment” before it escapes. Curiosity of sight is the gift often made possible through the magic of photography.
