Photography encapsulates a memory, narrates a story, it expresses emotions, kindles an idea, communicates beyond the boundaries. Photography has sparked revolutions globally, played a strong medium for conveying facts and figures across the borders, allow a virtual experience of physical presence relative to the context.
The functional obstacles like the inadequacies of the light levels, the visual fuzz due to the wind, the raging disturbances around the subjects are not worth letting go of that perfect capture. Over the years, there have been numerous phenomena developed in terms of both usability and technicalities to avoid these interventions to retain the quality and intensify the feel of the beautiful art.
Photography evolved as a complex science in itself over time, progressing from being a mere granted aesthetic output to profound utilitarian imposition. Its consequence being photography taking over the distinctive fields playing a major role in their working and depiction.
Architecture is one of those fields that has adopted photography to recreate just an entire new world out of the very existing. Fabricating the composed milieu in such a way to reproduce a model world is the most applied tactics in Architectural photography.
The technique helps overcome the limitations like restricted depth of field and enable aesthetically pleasing optical view, that presses on its workability and necessity in various fields of photography.
One major tool that works its best in reproducing a miniature world is “Tilt shift” (Lens and Focus). It was originated to replicate the lost functionality of a view camera.

As fascinating as it sounds, Tilt Shift hasn’t been the easiest practice for many amateurs. A wee bit of mathematics involving that needs an estimation always was a pre requisite to obtain the best of the results. Many calculations and formulae regarding estimating the parametrical data like angle of tilt and rotation, depth of field, focal area and so forth, have been put through the aid of upcoming talent, after an enormous study, to make the best out of the Tilt Shift equipment and methodology.
Advanced Camera gadgets and add ons are made a part of the technology to guide at the photographer with the unprecedented indications of mathematical data that includes focal length, the degree of tilt, and suggest the conditions of adjustments for the lens.

A picture is more than just a piece of time captured within a light-sensitive emulsion, it is an experience one has whose story is told through an enchanting image. I photograph the world in the ways I see it. Every curious angle, vibrant color, and abnormal subject makes me think, and want to spark someone else’s thought process. The photographs in this work were not chosen by me, but by the reactions each image received when looked at. If a photo was merely glanced at or given a casual compliment, then I didn’t feel it was strong enough a work, but if one was to stop somebody, and be studied in curiosity, or question, then the picture was right to be chosen.

Anyone today would agree that as far as photography is concerned, we have most certainly advanced far beyond what many of photography’s pioneers could have possibly imagined. The ease in which we are so readily able to document our lives through photos, along with the quality of those photos, is simply amazing. However, there is a certain authenticity that is found in the antiquated processes of photography that modern pictures simply can’t deliver.
Susan Sontag’s essay on how photography has limited people’s understanding of the world contains many interesting points that can be agreeable while at the same time having few that I tend to disagree with. Photography can be good and bad; it can open our minds up to new cultures and experiences through its imagery. However, at the same time it can limit our understanding of the world around us and of the world around the image it is portraying.
This trend also found roots in the emergence of photographic technology, originally developed in the early 1800’s and advanced continuously until the present. During this time, artists and photographers suddenly found that they could much more easily captur...
The theory shows how the painter may have used a camera obscura to give his works their realistic details.
As seen in paintings of battle scenes and portraits of wealthy Renaissance aristocracy, people have always strived to preserve and document their existence. The creation of photography was merely the logical continuum of human nature’s innate desire to preserve the past, as well as a necessary reaction to a world in a stage of dramatic and irreversible change. It is not a coincidence that photography arose in major industrial cities towards the end of the nineteenth century.
In Sontag’s On Photography, she claims photography limits our understanding of the world. Though Sontag acknowledges “photographs fill in blanks in our mental pictures”, she believes “the camera’s rendering of reality must always hide more than it discloses.” She argues photographs offer merely “a semblance of knowledge” on the real world.
What was the first Disney Movie to come out? It was Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. To make this movie Disney ran into a slight problem. Sure, it was easy to animate animals, but humans? To solve the problem, they filmed live actors doing exactly what the characters would do. This would work, but there was still a problem with the size of objects and losing things in the foreground when the camera zoomed. The solution ... a multiplane camera. In this camera, instead of many layers of artwork, there would be two, the foreground and the background. This made zooming in and out easier.
As we have seen throughout this paper, photography is more than just pointing a camera and pushing a button. No, photography is a true art form that can convey emotion and creativity from the photographer. Photography is an art that has and will live on for a lifetime.
loosening the spesific creativity in each picture. When people see the major mass of photos
Have you ever seen a painting or picture that captivates you and directly stirs up emotion within you? More than likely, you have. Usually, viewers merely observe the picture and enjoy the way it looks and how it makes them feel. But, have you ever asked yourself, “why?” What about the picture makes it pleasing to the viewer? With each strategy the photographer uses creates their own touch and passion that floods all over the picture. The emotional connection nearly goes unnoticed for when the picture is well photographed, the viewers experience the sensation in their subconscious. This is one of the most powerful tools that a photographer holds in their hands. If one can become a master of manipulating how the photo affects its viewers, the said photographer can potentially maneuver people’s minds and thoughts with one click of a button. The time spent with my mentor has opened up the door for me to tap into that power though the use of background, focus, shutter speed, angles, and most importantly, lighting. Even with all these techniques, the person behind the camera must remember that creativity must be at the forefront of all operations. Caleno (2014), when writing about the basics of capturing a beautiful moment in a picture commented, “If we want to be creative we must drop these pre-conceptions and start looking at things from a small child’s innocence.”
