Style in World War Photography
[ send me this paper ]
The two World Wars were specific times of extreme societal upheaval, providing a political, societal and aesthetic environment for photography to make its own cataclysmic offering to these great efforts. During World War I and World War II, photography emerged with its own artistic styles and established its own genres that relied upon, but transcended the technology of the daguerreotype, the Kodak instant photo and 360 film processing. Photojournalism as an art form was born, and within that genre, photography styles such as realism, propaganda, documentary and surrealism were also born. 7 works cited. jvphotog.rtf

The History Of Color Photography
[ send me this paper ]
9 pages in length. Once the staple of photography, black and white images have all but given way to its color counterpart. Indeed, the lure of bright, rich color was, in and of itself, enough of a selling point to draw away from what had heretofore existed only in the finite world of black and white. The advent of color photography brought with it an entirely new perspective to the industry, which included more expansive manufacturing plants, increased consumer interest and a glimpse into a more realistic image. The writer discusses the history of color photography. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

The Implications of the Shift from Analogue to Digital Photography: The Ideals of Originality, Truth and Authenticity
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 4 page paper on the implications of the shift from analogue to digital photography. With the recent shift of analogue to digital photography, critics cannot help but wonder what the implications of this change will be in regards to the ideals of originality, truth and authenticity of the work. From a traditional viewpoint, Benjamin and others argued that art loses its authenticity and originality once it is mass reproduced because art and photography have an intrinsic link with time and space which relates to these two aspects. In addition to the fact that digital photography can be mass reproduced in an exact manner, it also lends itself to being altered and manipulated quite easily. While this may imply that all original components of the piece are lost forever, some graphic designers have recently expanded this component to create a new field to allow for original technical work which is considered reflective of modern society. While Baudrillard stated that the media has turned modern society into one which is devoid of authentic experience, some critics allow that digital technology may actually provide a further medium to create authentic and dynamic experience.
