Drawing and photography
Using a camera to take a photograph , like using a pencil to draw , is a way of communicating . Basically both are putting marks on paper , making a visual statement - factual information perhaps , or ideas , or some expression of emotion . There is much in common between the two mediums , even though the method of working looks so different .
In the early days of photography it was the camera's ability to record factual detail accurately that captured everyone's interest . For centuries the artist had longed for some means which would help him show objectively the way elements in a scene relate in line and scale . Devices like the one shown below helped to determine the scale and proportions of objects and showed the artist the subject within a frame . But he still had to draw out all the detail that was projected on to the final surface .
The invention of a practical method of photography in the late 1830s , by combining the camera obscura with light - sensitive silver chemicals , was therefore revolutionary . The camera lens recorded all the detail in a subject by the direct action of light . People were fascinated that the camera took the same time to record a complicated street scene as a single object . It was difficult to imagine a more " truthful " , objective means of representation , and some artists believed that because of this painting had been superseded by the camera .
Their dismay was understandable because at the time painting was mostly judged by its accuracy . However , artists soon discovered that the camera is only a machine - in the hands of someone unable or unwilling to develop their picture building ability the results it produced could often be dull and boring .
Artists themselves have gained a lot from the camera . It captures instant moments no matter how brief , showing how things move , or change . It has introduced unusual viewpoints and angles , and blur effects , which have influenced painting .
In recent years photographic equipment and materials have become more refined less complicated . Systems are more standardized and compact , processing easier . This allows you the freedom to concentrate on good composition and capturing unusual lighting conditions . You still have to learn how your equipment works , why it produces the results it does and what it can , and cannot do . But you can progress quickly to the important picture building aspects of photography .
Since the advance in photographic technology , most people now expect a good photograph to contain more than just clear details . Your choice of subject and the way it is photographed become increasingly important as your technical ability improves . So it is worth understanding the basic " seeing " aspects of drawing - the use of tone , line , color , and so on- not to ape the artist , but to find the strongest methods of presenting the subjects in your photographs visually .
Exploring picture building is an interesting and continuous process because you have to decide your own values - these may change as you widen your knowledge and gain in confidence . Above all it allows you to express yourself - to make your own visual statements in your own way , often using similar visual ideas to an artist but employing different technical skills .
Drawing machine :
This 16th century engraving by Durer shows an artist's drawing machine . By keeping his eye at the sighting stick , the size and relation- ship of one part of the subject to another remains constant ( provided the subject does not move ) . The whole arrangement works like a direct viewfinder on a camera , but in this case the artist had to pains- takingly trace the information by hand on to glass , before transferring it on to another medium .
