Visual studies and art appreciation (5 classes)
In this chapter – we will learn about what visual study means, why it is useful for photographers, how visual study and visual interpretation started from painting and the process used in photography review. To become a photographer, we need to know about Visual Studies, Visual Value in Society and Elements of Visual Design (These elements are also connected with Photography Design).
What is Art Appreciation? If artists knew how to review, appreciate or interpret the arts then he/she could review and understand still photography appreciation. We will also learn about the Process of Art Appreciation through this chapter. The meaning Visual Study is how you see the world and what are the reasons to understand, process or define any type of visual. We live in an increasingly visual culture. New technologies and philosophies of vision influence how we see our world, and ourselves and how we think about seeing itself.
Visual aesthetics of photography (4 classes)
In this Course We'll focus on why certain images just "work" and discuss the importance of proportion in photographic composition, starting off with a discussion of the photographic frame, and then moving onto subject placement, and then going to more specific forms of proportion such as balance, the rule of thirds, golden ratio and its variants. Students will also various ways of executing these concepts including use of fore/mid/backgrounds. We also understand the Color management and Analysis of Photographs.
Photovoice (2 classes)
This is not a mandatory program, you can decide after having discussion with your mentor Photography is about more than communication. Even photography is stills and is not capable to do movement, but photography always left effective impression in our mind. Photo Voice is an ideological activity of presentation. In Photo Voice, artist tries to define Self – Expressionism. So, when photographer does self-expressionism about him/herself in a way that his/her psychological framework which claims through photography, photo archive, self- presentation, self-articulation.
Through Photo Voice, the photographer’s approach, which is called Photographic, and Experimental art attitude, will reveal out. Photo – Voice gives us an opportunity to explore and define about Artist Thought, Artist Lifestyle, Artist Likes or Dislikes, Artist Sociological Relations, Artist Thoughts towards Historical and Contemporary Artist, About Artist Itself, Artist Friends, Families, and Dream Projects of Artist. And we can say that The Ontology of Photo Voice is to understand True Realism and Pseudo Realism about Photographer.
History of Photography
Photography has come a long way in its relatively short history. In almost 200 years, the camera developed from a plain box that took blurry photos to the high- tech mini computers found in today's DSLRs and smartphones. The story of photography is fascinating and it's possible to go into great detail. However, let's take a brief look at the highlights and major developments of this scientific art form. There is no question about that Photography Changed the Social Attitude Towards Art. Photography is not just about capturing a person, subject or situation as Susan Sontag stated that “Photography is more than just clicking even It is also about environment of shoot.” Through this chapter, we will see hard – information about historical development in photography. Dates – Years – and – Inventors, all these points are major knowledge which we have to understand.
This article guides you through the history and characteristics of different types of camera format. With different types of camera format both for digital and film, first we look at 35mm and Medium formats.

Still life Photography
Studying still life photography is part of curriculum used for the depiction of non-living subjects, typically a small group of objects to learn shapes, textures, reflections and characters of the objects in light and shadows. It is the application of photography to artistic style.

Portrait photography is to photograph a person or group of people to captures the personality of the subject and emotions by using effective lighting, backdrops, and poses. A portrait picture might be artistic, or it might be for special purpose. Frequently, portraits are commissioned for special occasions, such as weddings, passport or school events. Portraits can serve many purposes, from usage on a personal Web site to display.
How to read Photography
Photography critics and art historians have developed their own language for critiquing and talking about photographs. Much of this is based on in-depth theory and can be daunting to even experienced photographers. But in the end, all of these ideas are based on everyday responses we all have to art, or in this case, photography. We like or dislike photos, we interpret the story behind the scene, and we feel certain emotions. All of this goes beyond just the composition.
Understanding Exposure

Photography and Cinema
Photography is a medium of stillness and Cinema is a medium of a moving frame or moving composition. Even the art of seeing and compositional approach defines both of them. Cinema and Photograph are similar in the name of art expression. In the past there were lots of cinematographers, film makers and directors who used a photography aesthetical approach in their films. In this chapter, we will see and learn about how cinema and photography are connected to each other.
