made of everyday objects that escapes the human eye.
The term Straight Photography was coined by a photography critic by the name of Sadakichi Hartman in 1904. This specific form of photography uses basic camera techniques to create photographs that are barely manipulated to eliminate alleged production. Straight photography emphasizes on the reality of an image. These photographs show the world as it is, a subjective reality. The main objective of straight photography is to not only focus on reality, but to eliminate dramatic changes within the photograph. Most of straight photography is shot in black and white.
FOCUS is on framing, lighting, focus, scale, and viewpoint.
Started with the NEW VISION in Russia and Germany.
An ideal means of plastic expression
that tends to build and create
new visual codes.
