Blog 14

#14____Unknown vs. Familiar Space: When photography was invented, it became a way to document and reveal the specific aspects of both familiar and faraway places. Imagine a familiar place. Imagine a faraway place. How would you use photographs to convey the difference? Can you imagine any places that have been “touched” very little by humans? How might you photograph them?


If i was photographing something that was "faraway" i would try and choose a very interesting subject that would create much interest.  I would also try and use very bright and vibrant photos.  I would also try and show it in context with something that would reveal the locations strong distance.  If i was shooting a familiar place, i would try and use very warm colors, but soft and homy feeling.  Lots of close-ups and shallow depth-of-field shots to emphasize familiarity.  Places that have been touch very little by humans tend to exist way out in the wilderness.  I would choose to photograph these places with the best light possible, either in the morning or sunset, to show and emphasize the locations natural majestic beauty.
