SKILL: The Creative Process

Every good photograph is the result of a successful synthesis of technique and art. Art, in the sense here means that the subject has been chosen with regard to photogenic qualities (although this may not always possible; but in cases where it is not, the picture will probably fall into the category or records shots, where artistic merits are a luxury and it will be correspondingly dull ; 

   a) The subject is presented in a visually attractive form

   b) The picture is well composed

   c) The quality of the illumination is compatible with the nature of the subject 

   d) The purpose of the picture, and the intentions of the photographer

   d) The rendition is graphically satisfactory & the photograph is meaningful, informative and  emotionally appealing.

A photographer will  makes an image (work); then it is up to the viewer. If they responds, communication will takes place with no much explanation about the picture. Of course, communication always remains on a superficial level until a common language is found. 

An image of the photograph (works of art) will speaks a common language that can be learned and enjoyed by anyone.

Once you have become familiar with the elements and principles that comprise a work of art and, though practice, have learned to see how those elements and principles operate in specific examples, you will be well on you way to understanding the language of visual communication. The photographer (visual artist) arranges the elements of :

          - Line                                             - Shape                                                    - Form 

                                      - Colours                                             - Value          

                - Texture                            - Repeating pattern                     - Shadow     

- Mood & pattern, which determine or characterizes principles such as structure, space & rhythm. These principles, in turn, characterize the subject i.e. figures, still life, place, abstraction, etc. 

Works of art is share common characteristics, this is the grammar of visual expression. But every work sustains its own particular set of circumstances.

A challenging act to balancing: The creative process, involves the balancing (the sense of equilibrium resulting from a harmonious arrangement) of diverse elements and the expression requires a base to support It. Even the briefest artistic impulse ultimately depends on the artist's (photographer) understanding and appreciation by chosen means of visual expression.

The photographer for example must understand how to use a camera and how to develop a print before of aesthetics and personal vision can be entertained. An arc (must understand basic principles of geometry, as well as various construction systems and the nature of diverse building materials, only then will the architect's more expressive concerns be capable of being effectively communicated to others. Each of us brings a unique set of circumstances to the interpretation of a work of art, and participates to a certain degree in its perpetual recreation.
