Assessment One Task VPA104 Pictorialism



The aim of this assessment is to produce images that use the language of Pictorial Photography. All added images should be optically correct, that is, physically possible. For example, one image taken in sun would optically match another image taken in sun. Therefore, your images have to look like they were taken in one still frame of a camera like the early or late Pictorialists. In this style, photographers seek to use the camera in two ways simultaneously.

Firstly the camera is used functionally to record the world together.

Secondly, the camera is also used as an aesthetic tool to emphasize the beauty of the scene. See recommended readings for Photo Pictorialism. Your images should look realistic but also have an aesthetic quality. Later assessments draw upon these primary capabilities, so it is useful to start here. Check the reading list for some website details.

The images you will use are located on your Interact site under Resources . You can, for instance, use an image as a base and add elements to the image or you can start with a blank file and build your work from scratch.

Below are my results showing images I used for the new image.  I also have put in separate images of the final product.
