Can a photograph be named as a name?
There are a number of ways you can approach the process of naming your photographs. Let’s forgo the “description as a name” strategy since we’ve already discovered that a description is not the same as a name.
Why do I need to name my scanned photos?
My naming formula is made up of 3 separate but equally important parts: When you take a photo with your cell phone or digital camera, your image is almost always saved with an extra bit of useful technical information such as the model of camera, the focal length, the f-stop used to create your photo etc.
What’s the best way to name a piece?
If your piece is called “Nocturne,” then I would immediately think of it a scrafty Romantic style copy. Call it “Night Piece,” on the other hand, it becomes obviously a scrafty modern era style copy. I like to name it after its done, or at least the general overall feel/climax is set, even if its a work in process.
Do you have to name a photo abstractly?
An abstract name does not necessarily have to name an abstract photograph. You could name a photo of a bunny rabbit hopping around as “The Velveteen Fur-ball” and you’d have yourself an abstract name. Abstract means existing in thought or as an idea but not having a physical or concrete existence.
Who was the man in the photo that no one would publish?
On February 28, 1991, Kenneth Jarecke stood in front of the charred man, parked amid the carbonized bodies of his fellow soldiers, and photographed him. At one point, before he died this dramatic mid-retreat death, the soldier had had a name. He’d fought in Saddam Hussein’s army and had a rank and an assignment and a unit.
Where was the war photo no one would publish?
Many months later, the photo also appeared in American Photo, where it stoked some controversy, but came too late to have a significant impact. All of this surprised the photographer, who had assumed the media would be only too happy to challenge the popular narrative of a clean, uncomplicated war.
Is it wrong to reference another piece of Art?
Referencing another piece of art on its own is not wrong. You may need an understanding of how a limb bends or a garment would hang/fold–it’s okay to get a general idea for how tangible properties, bodies, and objects work.
