The Photograph Chapter Three

The Photograph Chapter Three

The three main levels of the photograph:
1) Mechanical Photography: photos which aim at a simple representation of the objects in which the camera is pointed.
2)Artphotography: the photographer aka artist decides to diffuse his mind into objects by arranging, modifying, or otherwise disposing these objects so that they appear to be in a more beautiful manner
3) High-Art Photography: consists of certain pictures which aim at a higher purpose than the majority of art-photographs, and whose purpose is not merely to amuse but to instruct, purify, and ennoble.

The photograph on page 44 is said to have cause a minor scandal because it was faked; how funny…how many things are faked these days anyway? MOVIES are faked…how would these people feel about that? And fashion photos are posed and faked; what would people from the 1850’s say about that?
