Treatment Photography
1. Type of production and brief details on Subject/Concept:
In Motion is the subject I have chosen to do for my assignment, my particular concept of motion is movement and lights, blurred images using slow shutter speeds to make images seem like they are moving extremely fast.
2. Facilities: What facilities do you need for this project list all including software and hardware for the whole project
I would need to use either passing cars or the London Eye for my project the only hardware i need to borrow is an acctual camera i have a tripod at home i can use. i also have photoshop if i need to edit the final picture.
3. Finance: If you produced this project outside of the college you need to show how much would it cost to hire the equipment that you intend to use.
i would need to hire a Canon camera for the day/ or weekend - here are the prices:
| Daily | Weekend | Weekly | 2 Weeks | 3 Weeks | Deposit |
| £49 (£57) | £73 (£86) | £146 (£171) | £194 (£228) | £242 (£284) | £500 |
4. Contributors: Who do you need to help this for you project? This includes talent and crew.
I could travel up there myself but i will probably travel with someone else who wants to take other photos in London.
5. Codes of practice and regulation: What regulations to you need to be aware of. Think about college policy as well as regulatory bodies that you looked at in assignment 2, Worksheet 1.6 Regulation and Safety notes
I will have to make sure that the camera does not become damaged or stolen.

Copyright (By Wikipedia) -
Copyright is a set of exclusive rights granted by the law of a jurisdiction to the author or creator of an original work, including the right to copy, distribute and adapt the work. Exceptions and limitations to these rights strive to balance the public interest in the wide distribution of the material produced and to encourage creativity. Exceptions include fair dealing and fair use, and such use does not require the permission of the copyright owner. All other uses require permission and copyright owners can license or permanently transfer or assign their exclusive rights to others. Copyright does not protect ideas, only their expression or fixation. In most jurisdictions, copyright arises upon fixation and does not need to be registered. Copyright protection applies for a specific period of time, after which the work is said to enter the public domain.
Moral Rights (By Wikipedia) -
Moral rights are rights of creators of copyrighted works generally recognized in civil law jurisdictions and, to a lesser extent, in some common law jurisdictions. They include the right of attribution, the right to have a work published anonymously or pseudonymously, and the right to the integrity of the work. The preserving of the integrity of the work bars the work from alteration, distortion, or mutilation. Anything else that may detract from the artist's relationship with the work even after it leaves the artist's possession or ownership may bring these moral rights into play. Moral rights are distinct from any economic rights tied to copyrights. Even if an artist has assigned his or her rights to a work to a third party, he or she still maintains the moral rights to the work.

Organiser’s Guide to the Bill of Rights by Pro-Imaging assessments -
The Bill of Rights for Photography Competitions campaign started development in August 2007 was launched publicly for the first time in March 2008. Thereafter ongoing contact with the competition world and it's organisers enabled a deeper understanding of the forces and pressures driving it.
This enabled the Bill of Rights to evolve and the development of ways by which its aims could be achieved. Following this initial period of forming the campaign foundations, in August 2008 the Bill of Rights campaign decided to seek supporters of its aims who would be prepared to add their name to a supporters list.
Supporters agree not to sponsor or organise photograph competitions that do not meet the standards set out in the Bill of Rights for Photography Competitions and to display the Bill of Rights for Artists logo as shown below. In return for their support -
- the campaign website promotes each supporter's organisation on this supporters list
- each competition organised by the supporter is promoted on the Rights On List
- each supporter can make free use of the Bill of Rights for Artists logo to promote their organisation and contests

Art Photography
Art Photography-
Application-
When I think of the word Art i imagine paintings of different things from Abstract images to Landscape paintings. Art can be a way to capture the imagination in a painting/photographer and display the artists ideas or vision.
Conceptual Photography is a way of turning an idea or concept into a photo. Two photographers who do this are called Stephen Gill & Esteban Pastorino Diaz.
Stephen Gill takes photos of various places but in an odd twist there appears to be random pieces of rubbish/junk on the lens, when i first look at the photo i notice all the pieces on the picture.
He drops the parts onto the camera making it entirely random where they will be in the picture, insects crawl into and across the film and are used in some of his other photos.
These four photos are by Esteban Diaz. He took these photos at night using long exposures giving it a lit up and eerie look from the surrounding darkness.
Most of the buildings in his photos are run down and in ruins and can appear to be deserted giving it a dark and gloomy feeling.
Context-
When it comes to finding Art Photography i believe you mainly find it in photo/art galleries and books, they display the most interesting choice of photos which show a lot of feeling/creativity, photos that make the viewer what may be going on in the photo and what it means to the artist or themselves. Most of the photos we saw in the museums and galleries were in a modern appearance on the wall and not in old wooden frames.
When Photos are displayed in galleries like the third gallery we saw the backgrounds and environment made the photos stand out more along side different scenery's. In the third gallery there was a room devoted to trash can photos, the background around the photos (the display) was all grey and metal like im assuming to resemble a bin like texture this makes the photos more real and gave it a different aspect in which i looked at them.
You can also find Art Photography in many other places not just galleries such as the internet artists like to display their work online and get feedback from various other people, to convey their ideas and creativeness.
Techniques-
I think when it comes to Art Photography techniques the photographer needs to think about the use of various different things such as the lighting, scenery, angles and objects so that they can portray their idea across to the audience and make them think about the photographers idea. Using different shutter speeds, exposures and adding flashes can alter the image it can be about experimenting with your idea and the camera.

Fashion Photography
Fashion Photography-
Application-
Fashion Photography uses lots of colours and textures in most photos they include lots of textures in the clothing such as various materials like feathers, fur and animals. They use a large ammount of props to portray different styles and attitudes, they use lots of different colours to suit the image. Its a way to sell an idea of fashion a type of style so that everyone will follow in a way advertising various different styles/attitudes and clothes.
When i look at Fashion Photography i notice that most of the models are women compared to men, i believe women look to fashion more than men do so i personally think it appeals to women more.
There are lots and lots of different artists who take pictures for different magazines and companys, probably the most known fashion magazine is 'Vogue'. A well known photographer who 'set the template for Fashion Photography' is called Cecil Beaton who took photos of models with different styles of clothing he said 'he wanted to capture his fantasy'.
I think Fashion Photography can be very pretentious and can lead young females on thinking these skinny models look like that on a daily basis and makes them want to look like that too but most of it is due to editing from software like photoshop but on the other side i think it generates a lot of publicity and a large ammount of the worlds population enjoy watching, reading and viewing Fashion Photography.
Context-
Fashion photography is shown mostly in magazines like 'Vogue' and '10 Men' but there are many others out there that show various different syles of Fashion and Photograph.
Vogue is a great example of how Fashion Photography is used in the media such as magazines, they portray their ideas of fashion and lead it the way they want without looking back.
Techniques-
There are lots of techniques and time that goes into Fashion Photography, it really depends on what the photographer is trying to create/recreate lots of photographers use Studios to recreate what they are looking for and its an easy enviroment to control.
Photo Manipulation can be a large part of Fashion Photography, they can change and completely alter a persons appearance which can itself be a very bad thing as it can lead the younger population believe they look like that all the time, the dove advert video is a great advert for displaying the change that can be made in photos.
Set Designs can play a large part in a Fashion Photographers job world, it can take a lot of time to set up and create. A lot of time and work can go into Fashion Photographer so that the photographer can create/recreate whatever they are trying to. Different cameras are always involved and can make a huge impact on different photos.

Portrature
Portraiture
Application:
Portraiture is simply a photo that captures a person, animal or object which identifies that person but they do not always show the true side of a person. Portrait photos capture certain parts of their personality's in a photo. in previous years artist painted portraits of rich and famous people who requested it in an attempt to capture a part of them showing things like power or wealth and even intelligence.
Portraits tend to capture from the upper chest up to the top of the head but can also display the whole body to show the figure. Portrait photos also tend to be portrait in photo orientation as it can capture the whole body whilst landscape would cut of certain parts of the body. The artist can totally change the look or feel of a person the photographer has total power of how the person will look.
I personally think that Tony Vaccaro captured a great portrait photo of Picasso. Picasso kept posing like other what other photographers would make them do which made the photo less genuine whilst Tony just waited for the right moment to take a photo of him until Picasso wasn't prepared and captured him with a normal pose which is the image below.
Context:
Portraiture photography is used in most everyday life but has changed from the past, in the past kings, queens, rich and important people would pay for portraits that would display them with power, wealth or knowledge.
You can find portrait photos on many things in the world such as ID cards as it captures our identity that we can display that we are ourselves. Stamps and money in England also display a image of the queens head.
Most other portrait photos are found in books and photo albums. Larry Clark has a book entitled 'Tusla' which has most of his most known portrait photography.
Techniques:
There can be different techniques to portrait photos but every photographer has their own. There are many ways in which it can be done as well like in a 'natural' environment at home or a totally different approach would be in a photo studio and making it feel less genuine.
Tony Vaccaro would wait for the perfect moment just like his decisive moment photography. Diane Arbus was another Portraiture and captured a famous family, she spent time with the family and captured their different personalities as they were and they looked genuine. One of her photos of the Matthaei daughter's looking really angry with her eyes but not her body.
What makes this photo so good is that it captures a true geniune moment with this daughter being angry at something, its not fake or posed its just captured as it is.

Photo Journalism
Application
What is Photo-Journalism?
Photo Journalism is about capturing certain moments to give insight to the rest of the world who could not see it first hand. When taking a photo it captures the moment capturing just a small moment in what actually happened.
With Photo Journalism the truth isn't as it always seems to appear in a photo as the years have progressed and the technology and software has evolved the ability of most everyday users can manipulate photos to suit what they want to see, what they thought or think is the truth.
Photo Journalism really advanced when the Leica camera was invented it was the first portable camera which capture moments instantly which opened up a type of photography called 'Decisive Moment' one of the most famous photographers who took these shots was Henri Cartier-Bresson his most famous photo was the man jumping over the puddle it was so unique because at any moment that he pressed that camera button it would have totally changed the shot.
World War 2 had lots of Decisive Moment shots taken and the two most known are called Robert Capa and Tony Vaccaro, they took very in the moment shots that gave insight into World War 2 giving the war a more in depth sense of reality.
Whilst the truth can be manipulated with photography i personally feel with these war photos they show more indepth looks into things the public wouldnt see.

Context-
We mainly see photos like these in books and the Internet throughout the history of this part of photography has changed throughout the years, these images above show a more shocking sense of world war 2 which people at home from the war would not see with their own eyes whilst photojournalism now days tend to be less shocking.
You can find various different photo journalism photos on the internet, magazines and even galleries around the country these are great mediums in which these types of photography can be displayed.
Techniques-
I personally feel with Photojournalism its all about being in the moment and capturing the photo at the right moment, it all depends on the Photographer and when he decides to press the button on the camera to take that image because a second later could totally change the photograph.
