Aesthetics in Photography Aesthetics (part 2)

Visual Arts Entities

In general, aesthetic understanding of visual art that relates to the image of the emission values ​​are beautiful, reflected in the overall figure of art work and gives the impression of a certain quality. The emergence of photography as a form of visual art two-dimensional (2D) makes a new repertoire diversity of visual art. In the early presence of visual arts new media had a chance to make the art world in his time expressed sarcastically by the French painter De la Roche that from today painting is dead (Turner, 1987:16). This view is a more reasonable attitude of concern because the presence of photography in engineering technology is relatively more rapid and practical in the process of producing his work and has a value higher reproduction accuracy and flexibility offered by enlarging the size of which is considered more superior when compared with the form of fine arts / visual other.

Visual art is relatively new that it brings unique characteristics. Early in its life had not recognized its presence as a work of art because the phenomenon of processes that are rated more nuanced mechanical does not require the skills, expertise, and high Science in creating her work, "that photography was merely mechanical and did not require the training that art did" (Pennel1981: 210) and the process of its creation is not entirely made with human hands "because photography is not hand-work" (Alfred Stieglitz, 1980: 163).

The aesthetics of Photography 

Photography as one of the domains of visual art is inseparable from the values and the rules applicable, i.e. the aesthetics of each genre has a vocabulary of aesthetic value and then photography with partial genre also inseparable also with its aesthetic vocabulary. Any form of work derived from another have the purpose of photography is not as well as the concept of creation that starts from the basic idea that developed into the implementation of the practical with the support of equipment and techniques expressed through visual language. Further, through experimentation and exploration of target viewfinder (expose) as well as the process until be the subject (subject matter) photographic work.

Is possible if the object is used as the subject (subject matter) needs to be taken repeatedly as an alternative to the experimentation of different angles (angle) and the variant form of the lens optics as well as treatment advocates exploration of adequate lighting (lighting exposure). Supported with sensitivity and skill to play existing instrumentation facilities and equipment in the camera, the goal is none other than achieving a variety of alternative variants of the view that have aesthetic value so that the view generated photography in accordance with the expected demand. Of course, the problem is closely related to issues such ideas level concept to the ideas generated photography and level of technical aspects of the game in technical to realize those ideas.
