Tues 10th Nov - continuing Photography research

Today diploma students continued with their photography research - the first task is to complete a timeline of key events. The reason for this is so students can identify how developments in technology have changed the way people take photographs and use them.

Key developments include making photographs permanent, the introduction of photoshop, digital cameras and camera phones. As technology has improved, so has the quality of photos. The focus of pictures is much better and the colour more accurate. Cameras have become cheaper and more portable so more people are able to afford them now.

Students then researched different photographers to understand the different styles and purposes, such as for reportage (to go in newspapers and magazines), for fashion, for greetings cards, calendars, adverts etc.
