RESEARCH
PHOTOGRAPHY
one of my favourite hobbies is photography, it has always been an interest of mine but i became particularly involved when i studied A level photography. In particular i like architectural photography and portrates.
HISTORY:
The history of photography commenced with the invention and development of the camera and the creation of permanent images starting with Thomas Wedgwood in 1790 and culminating in the work of the French inventor Joseph Nicéphore Niépce in 1826.
Nicéphore Niépce's earliest surviving camera photograph, circa 1826: View from the Window at Le Gras (Saint-Loup-de-Varennes, France)
PIN HOLE CAMERA:
A pinhole camera is a simple camera without a lens and with a single small aperture – effectively a light-proof box with a small hole in one side. Light from a scene passes through this single point and projects an inverted image on the opposite side of the box. The human eye in bright light acts similarly, as do cameras using small apertures.
Up to a certain point, the smaller the hole, the sharper the image, but the dimmer the projected image. Optimally, the size of the aperture should be 1/100 or less of the distance between it and the projected image.
This is one technique that i did at college i really enjoyed it and found it interesting learning about how to use the chemicals in the dark room.
EXAMPLES:
HDR AND PANARAMICS:
High-dynamic-range imaging (HDRI or HDR) is a set of methods used in imaging and photography to capture a greater dynamic range between the lightest and darkest areas of an image than current standard digital imaging methods or photographic methods. HDR images can represent more accurately the range of intensity levels found in real scenes, from direct sunlight to faint starlight, and is often captured by way of a plurality of differently exposed pictures of the same subject matter.
A panorama is any wide-angle view or representation of a physical space, whether in painting,drawing, photography, film/video, or a three-dimensional model. photographers first began assembling multiple images of a view into a single wide image. In the late 19th century, panoramic cameras using curved film holders employed clockwork drives to scan a line image in an arc to create an image over almost 180 degrees. Digital photography of the late twentieth century greatly simplified this assembly process, which is now known as image stitching.
MY CAMERAS:
I currently have a canon 450d dslr camera and a canon ae1 35mm film camera. i have a variety of lenses for both cameras, my favourite being a wide angle lens for my film camera.

MY PORTRATE PHOTOGRAPHY:
INSPIRATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHERS:
EZRA STOLLER:
Ezra Stoller (16 May 1915 – 29 October 2004) was an American architectural photographer.
Stoller was born in Chicago. His interest in photography began while he was an architecture student at New York University, when he began making lantern slides andphotographs of architectural models, drawings and sculpture. After his graduation in 1939, he concentrated on photography.
His work featured landmarks of modern architecture, including Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's Seagram Building, Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater, Alvar Aalto's Finnish Pavilion at the 1939 New York World's Fair. Stoller is often cited in aiding the spread of the Modern Movement.
RICHARD STOW:
Richard’s work has seen him take in all aspects of the fashion and beauty industry for over a decade, gaining experience and expertise assisting many fashion and beauty photographers, including Clive Arrowsmith, Darren Feist, Nick Knight & Rankin. His images have been published in numerous international publications including L’Uomo Vogue, 125, U.S. Harper’s Bazaar, Stern, The Sunday Times Style, German Playboy, Schon!, Geil, U.K. & U.S. Elle, U.S. Marie Claire, Euroman, Q, Swarovski Rocks, Amica, Clash, and Spanish Vogue. Also directing moving image work, with music & fashion videos for indie and commercial clients & major labels, including the ‘Twilight: Eclipse’ OST, he now regularly collaborates on projects with clients such as Nicholas Kirkwood, Martyn Bal, Esprit, Wella, Warner music, Ellesse, Religion, Herbal Essences, Silvikrin, The Outnet, Almost Famous, Jean-Pierre Braganza, PRPS, Warehouse, & Sony, among many others. I really like the contrast between fashion photography and architectural photography in these shots.
