The Elements of a Pictorial Photograph (Classic Reprint) by Henry Peach Robinson Pdf

Excerpt from The Elements of a Pictorial Photograph But although the average photographer comes to a dead-lock when he gets to the end of technical excellence as generally understood, there are still left some most fascinating technical difficulties to get over of which he at present knows nothing, merely because he has not yet acquired the eyes to see the use of them. These will certainly enchant him if he ever get so far on his second journey as to be privileged to know them.

Pictorial Landscape Photography (Classic Reprint) by Paul Lewis Anderson Pdf

Excerpt from Pictorial Landscape Photography So many technical articles of the highest quality have appeared in photographic magazines, and there are so many textbooks giving formulae, that it would seem superfluous to treat of such matters extensively in the present volume, even apart from the fact that the writer believes the subjective qualities to be a much rarer possession than technical skill. Therefore, this essay has been written more with a view to point out a method of approaching the cultivation of artistic vision than with the idea of furnishing a technical reference-book, particularly as technique cannot be taught any more than can any other subject. In the last analysis, all acquired knowledge must come from effort on the part of the student, the most that the teacher can do being to indicate the direction which the studies should take. Therefore, in the following pages technique will be treated more suggestively than didactically, the more so as the writer believes the best technique to be the simplest that will permit the worker to express himself, any addition being a hindrance rather than a help. This is not to say that any one should confine himself to ordinary or even to orthochromatic plates, or that he should make all his prints in platinum - this is not to simplify technique, but to throw away the advantages offered by panchromatic plates and by such superior printing - mediums as carbon and gum but the fact remains that if such methods will invariably do all that the artist wishes them to do it is foolish to carry technical studies any further, the technique of photography being so extensive and so complicated - far more so than that of painting - that no one can hope to know all of it. Furthermore, a man may be a great artist without being a great technician, provided he has something to express; but the finest technique will leave us cold if it expresses no spiritual quality.

The Selection of Subject in Pictorial Photography (Classic Reprint) by W. E. Tindall Pdf

Excerpt from The Selection of Subject in Pictorial Photography If any apology be required for putting forward the hints contained in this book, that apology is to be found on the walls of the photographic exhibitions. The writer freely admits that the majority of the works there to be seen are of a high technical quality; yet in many cases they are such that they could be considerably improved were more attention given to the subjects of point of view, the value of lines, and the meaning of tone values and their reproduction by photography. It is with a view to the improvement of photographic work in these directions that the following pages were written; but it is the wish of the author that they shall be.

In Nature's Image by W. I. Lincoln Adams Pdf

Excerpt from In Nature's Image: Chapters on Pictorial Photography The reception of my preceding book, entitled "Sunlight and Shadow," was so cordial - a second edition being called for within two months of the publication of the first - I have ventured to think that, perhaps, another volume, similar to it but supplementing its predecessor by leading the reader a little farther along the pleasant paths of pictorial photography, might not be unwelcomed. I have been the more induced to undertake the preparation of the present book by the recollection that its companion was principally written and illustrated from the standpoint of the landscape or out-of-door subject, and thereby rather subordinated the more difficult, perhaps, but also more interesting as well as more advanced work of figure composition, portraiture, and kindred subjects. I have therefore endeavored, in the chapters which follow, and by the photographs which I have selected to illustrate them, to supplement the instruction of the previous book, and to complete the collection of pictorial examples which were chosen to illustrate it.

Pictorial Photography in America, 1921 (Classic Reprint) by Pictorial Photographers of America Pdf

Excerpt from Pictorial Photography in America, 1921 I am happy to say that we have received from the United States and Canada a collection of pictorial photographs of such outstanding interest that the task of discrimination became one of great difficulty. Those selected by the judges have been placed in the exhibition, but the Coun cil of the Society feel that it would be most unfortunate if the collection generally could not be viewed by the English public, and it is proposed that the bulk of the American and Canadian pictures, including those Shown at the Annual Exhibition, should form one of our house exhibitions and be open to the public during the last part of January and the beginning of February, 1921.

Pictorial Photography in America, 1920 (Classic Reprint) by Pictorial Photographers of America Pdf

Excerpt from Pictorial Photography in America, 1920 Some Of the advantages which photography ohers are worth restating. It helps to draw one closer to nature and to seek fresh air. Through the exercise and culti vation Of Choice, it teaches how to decorate? The home, to dress with taste, and to keep an alert eye and mind on the passing events Of the world. Because the Associa tion knows that photography is able to teach these things, it sought the aid of art museums and public libraries to conduct photographic exhibitions so that children and adults may not only see fine examples of the work Of the camera in the hands Of artists, but be led thereby to appreciate more fully the value Of photography as an aid to interesting composition and a quickening of the eye in realizing the beauty Of sunlight and shadows which flit around us much unrecognized at times. Succeed ing in gaining the sympathetic co-operation Of seventeen museums, in the winter of 1917-18 the Association collected, from many of the most important workers in this country, more than two hundred prints, which were divided into two groups and exhibited as follows: Minneapolis Institute Of Arts, Milwaukee Art Institute, Art Institute Of Chicago, City Art Museum (st. Louis), Toledo Museum Of Art, Detroit Museum of Art, Cleveland Art Museum, Cincinnati Museum Of Art, Morristown Library, Newark Museum Association, New Britain (conn.) Institute, Worcester Art Museum, Syracuse Museum of Fine Arts, Guild Of Allied Arts Grand Rapids Art Association, University Of Oklahoma, New Orleans Art Association.

Pictorial Effect in Photography by Henry Peach Robinson Pdf

Excerpt from Pictorial Effect in Photography: Being Hints on Composition and Chiaro-Oscuro for Photographers In the choice of illustrations, I have selected, chiefly from copies of familiar pictures, those by which I could best elucidate a principle or assist in the description of a process, rather than those which may be regarded as Simply pretty pictures. In the photographic illustrations by various processes, I have endeavoured to show that the principles laid down could be embodied by means of photography.

Photograms of the Year, 1921 by F. J. Mortimer Pdf

Excerpt from Photograms of the Year, 1921: The Annual Review of the World's Pictorial Photographic Work In the London Salon for 1921 the entry of fine pictorial work from all parts of the world was larger than in any previous year in the history of the exhibition, and the prestige of the Salon and the honour of being hung on its walls greater than ever: it was generally acknowledged that the exhibition was the most notable show of pictorial photography ever seen in London. The Salon, reflecting as it does the trend of the best pictorial photography of the day, emphasised one or two other points that have already been the subject of discussion in the photographic Press. First, it showed that the tendency towards making use of the human face and figure for picture-making is greater than that towards landscape or other non-personal subjects; secondly, that there is a decided slump in photography in colours or coloured photographs - in fact, we doubt, even if colour photography on paper in the popular sense of the term becomes an accomplished fact, whether it will: ever oust good monochrome work from favour; and, thirdly, that the present is the day of the hand camera: the best exhibition prints in many cases may be regarded as the apotheosis of the snapshot. The r.p.s. Exhibition in a lesser degree reflected the same tendencies, and one also saw on the walls of the annual show at Russell Square evidences of the energies oi the newly - formed and badly-needed pictorial group that has been evolved from. The heterogeneous membership of the Society. Pictorial groups, under various names, have gathered together to help forward the good work of photography as an art in all parts of the world. This has been notably the case in Scotland, where the Scottish Photographic Circle has held strongly supported exhibitions, and in Wales, which has developed in the Cardiff district a very definite school of pictorial workers of outstanding merit. References to similar associations for the furtherance oi pictorial photography outside the British Isles will be found in the following pages in the articles dealing with different countries.

Photograms of the Year 1915 by F. J. Mortimer Pdf

Excerpt from Photograms of the Year 1915: The Annual Review of the World's Pictorial Photographic Work At the time when the last volume of "Photograms of the Year" was issued it was difficult to suggest the course that any one of the arts of peace would take in the future. The first shock of warfare, by its stern reality, tended to stifle imagination in these matters. Yet the dominant characteristics of the British people have been reflected in the tributary of activity that photography represents, and that the habit of picture-making, so strongly fostered by the camera, would survive, we were convinced. The present volume of "Photograms of the Year" demonstrates the correctness of this assumption and indicates the position at the end of the year 1915. The war has indeed proved photography's right to be considered a national pastime apart from its claims as an art, as a science, and a profession. Where other forms of art have languished, and sports and hobbies of all kinds have met with the frown of disapproval, the only bar to the full employment of the camera by those who have been able, has been the official one - exercised vicariously. There has been no falling off therefore in the quantity of pictures submitted to us for inclusion in this Annual, and the quality has been as high as ever. Exigencies of space alone have prevented the inclusion of more examples from the great number submitted from all parts of the world. We have therefore to express regret to those workers whose pictures have been omitted, but our thanks to them are just as sincere as to the authors of the pictures we have been able to reproduce.
