Advice on Begining artist Portraits, nudes etc….?

I am interested in doing more photography with people, actually I really haven’t done much. I don’t like magazine portraits, but more artistical ones. I also would like to get into fine art nudes. I was wondering if anyone had any advice, books, or websites to share. Also how do you find models and set up a contract or what ever?

Get a portfolio going at modelmayhem.com, and Onemodelplace.com. Let people know what your looking for. Offer to work TFP (trade for photos, prints or on CD) with models, hair and makeup stylists, for practice and portfolio developement. You may or may not find models to work TFP for nudes, so you might want to offer some pay for nudes.

You’ll want to get releases from each person that you work with. Practice composition, lighting, and use every mode/function that your camera has. Work outdoors, morning, noon, and evening. Work indoors, with varying light sources. Make your camera an extension of you, so you dont have to over think a shot that presents itself suddenly.

There are artistic photosites all over the web. Try to emulate their work, learn to recognise how they put a shot together, use light and shadow, props, locations, poses, etc…

Do your own work. Dont go at it hap hazard. Write your ideas down, give some detail. It’ll give your models an idea of what your looking for, and reading something will give them a better picture of whats expected. Let them offer suggetions, and work with you on projects. Better motivated models, better photos.

Once you get your name out there, you’ll have more people looking to pay you, and work with you.

Dont mix business and pleasure, it’ll keep drama to a minimum.

Artists’ Reception Lent Concert





When was photography first considered an acceptable art form?

My teacher told me that when photography first arrived on the scene there was some controversy as to whether or not a photograph could be considered a work art because the artist simply captured a pre-existing image instead of creating a new one. (I’m not saying this is true but apparently that bias used to be a prevalent one) Can anyone provide me with some websites with articles etc that explore the topic of photography becoming an acceptable art form and/or old arguments as to why it wasn’t accepted at first?

Pooky…I think she was talking about from a historic aspect. When photography first appeared, it wasn’t always accepted as art.

Photography first developed (no pun intended) I think in the late 1820s with the discovery of certain materials that were sensitive to light. Actually, the word “camera” comes from what was known as a “camera obscura” which was a small room with an opening at one end where light would pass through and project an image onto a wall at the opposite end. Artists would use the image as a guide for making paintings. The problem was that the image was temporary. There was no way to make it portable. So even then, people were searching for some way to create a permanent image. If you break photography down into its root words, it literally means “recording with light” or “recording of light.” Note that this says nothing about a computer or image editing…which some of the Photoshoppers should keep in mind. Photography in its purest form is the “recording of light”

Anyway…

Fortunately, at around the same time (1820s-1830s), scientists were discovering materials that were changed by exposure to light. For example, they discovered that when a plate coated with silver was exposed to light and then came into contact with mercury vapor, an image formed. They had to figure out a way to make the image permanent (a “fixer”), but this eventually developed into the daggeurotype. They also discovered that if transparent materials were coated with light-sensitive chemicals, they would also record an image. When it was developed and dried, the image could be projected onto another light-sensitive plate or even paper. The other plate or paper could then be developed. That eventually became the film and positive-print photgraphs that we know today.

Throughout the 1830s – 1850s, there was progress made with improving film and plates so that they were more sensitive and didn’t need super long exposures. But at about this time, there was also a little bit of controversy between art critics and photographers. Some of them didn’t believe that photography was truly art, because it seemed like to them, they were only recording an image and didn’t have much of a role in the creative process. But that opinion slowly changed, and in fact there were galleries all across Europe and the United States for photography.

Most early photographs were still lifes….like an arranged photograph showing a dinner table or a vase of flowers, etc. But considering the early time period, they were actually pretty good.

Also, it’s amazing how long old negatives and photographs have lasted. There are plates and photographs over 120 years old that are still very sharp and clear.

You should check out the book “The History of Photography” by Beamont Newhall. Or also try looking on Wikipedia and in your local library. Do a google search for “daggeurotype,” “cynotype” etc and see if you can find out more about early photography.
