Landscape definition

Definition-Landscape photography shows spaces within the world, sometimes vast and unending, but other times microscopic. Landscape photographs typically capture the presence of nature but can also focus on man-made features or disturbances of landscapes. 

(Landscape)-all the visible features of an area of land, often considered in terms of their aesthetic appeal.

The Zone System

A way of controlling your prints’ tonal range. The process begins by previsualising your subject as having up to nine tone zones between but not including, pure black and pure white. The tonal range of final prints is adjusted by light readings at the shooting stage, and development at the processing stage. Created by Ansel adams and Fred Archer

F64Group-was a group of seven 20th-century San Francisco photographers who shared a common photographic style characterized by sharp-focused and carefully framed images seen through a particularly Western (U.S.) viewpoint.

Pictorialist- is the name given to an international style and aesthetic movement that dominated photography during the later 19th and early 20th centuries.In general it refers to a style in which the photographer has somehow manipulated what would otherwise be a straightforward photograph as a means of “creating” an image rather than simply recording it. Typically, a pictorial photograph appears to lack a sharp focus (some more so than others), is printed in one or more colors other than black-and-white (ranging from warm brown to deep blue) and may have visible brush strokes or other manipulation of the surface. For the pictorialist, a photograph, like a painting, drawing or engraving, was a way of projecting an emotional intent into the viewer’s realm of imagination.

Pre-visualisation-The concept of previsualization in photography is where the photographer can see the final print before the image has been captured. Ansel Adams dedicates the beginning of his first book to previsualization, and is often quoted as saying “Visualization is the single most important factor in photography”. Understanding then the significance of this approach is of high value for photographers of all kinds, as it has the potential to unlock greater creative vision, and give greater control (and predictability) over the print process.

Aesthetic- the principles of the nature and appreciation of beauty.
