Photography


Think... Feel... Express

`gilad:icongilad: reports, October 17, 2007
I, for one, believe that art is all about expression.
I'm a photographer (and a writer too) but this is not right just about photography, but for all kinds of art. There are many forms of expression, but ultimately it has to make you feel.
Isn't that what art is suppose to do?

Make us think, challenge us to ask ourselves how do we feel about what we see? Translate our vision to feelings. Every little thing can be expressive.
But, do we all try to express something with our work?

Looking at something beautiful or ugly can be expressive, as long as it not just showing it but making a statement. Transferring the atmosphere, putting an angle on things, making us look differently at the world. Isn't it expressive?

It's all a matter of what we are trying to show. Of our intentions while taking the photograph. I don't care what kind of a camera you have, If you thought we all want to see your dog, or your dinner. Put some creative effort into your work.

Think

Feel

Express



I don't care about technique, only intentions and resault.
If you wanted to show the connection between a father and a son, how do you do that? Is taking a picture of an old man and a younger one good? Is it creative? will it chalange people to think? to feel?
Mybe...
But if you use symbols and chalnge the viewer to understand, and feel - you made art. Don't get me wrong, It still can be bad art, but It's art, and a very good start.

The cetegory "Conceptual" is the closest thing to expressive ideas on DA. When the subject, or the technique, play no role in the basic intention of the piece - being expressive. Of course every other category can still show many expressive works, and I invite you all to search for that expressive elemnts in art, and think a minute if that is what draws you into one piece more than another.. I bet it is :)

I totally agree. I saw that you had put that somewhere on your photos i think, and it was just before i went into hospital. And i think about it whenever i'm out taking photos.

I like it. Not something I especially do in my photos. I just work on composition and technique.

I believe there are two types of art.

The first tries to fulfill the basic understanding of what 'art' is - composition, colour, technique, concept, etc...

The second might have all of the above (or maybe not) but it involves expression.

A work of art,in any medium, that has the ability to hold your thoughts & your gaze, leave you thinking (or even repulsed) but in some way connects you to the artists soul & expression - is a masterpiece.

Art void of expression, quite frankly is not art at all.

Of course ones interpretation might differ in that we all see life from different perspectives. As such, so is our ability to express.

This is wonderfully written, art is personally executed as is your thoughts, feelings and expressions. Therefore the same for the viewer - the non artist friends I have make me feel embarassed about my work, whereas here in DA I have feel comfortable as if I belong, in this special place, able to express my thoughts and feelings.

Thank you for taking the time to share yours and make us all embrace more of the everyday
things we see. I was at a concert the other night and I so wished I had a camera to take a picture of the old rafters illuminated by the modern stage lighting!
