| Question | Answer |

| Different elements in the history/process of a photograph (8) | Photographer, selection, technique, chemical/digital processing, edition, multiplicity, medium, and public & influence. |
| Elements that can modify the quality of the image (5) | Subject's feelings, lenses, shooting angle, background & set and lighting |
| Characteristics of an iconic image (4) | Creative, authentic, innovative, and recognizable |
| Basic elements of a great picture (6) | Composition, design, perspectives, color, volume, shape |
| Rule of Thirds (definition) | A composition in which an image is divided in 9 squares, drawing two lines vertically and two lines horizontally, as the human eye is naturally drawn to a point about two-thirds up to a page. |
| Golden Section (definition) | Origin of the rule of thirds; a proportion that can be found everywhere (perfect inward spiral that is divided in 9 squares) |
| Horizontal lines in a composition represent... | ...peace and relaxation |
| Vertical lines in a composition represent... | ...order and a sensation of stability |
| Curvy lines in composition are... | ...dynamic and create movement |
| Order of inventions before the invention of lasting photography? | Camera lucida - phsyionotrace - camera obscura |
| Camera Lucida (definition) | Machine in beginning of 19th century that helped artists draw shapes and outlines before painting. |
| Physionotrace (definition) | Enabled artist to draw a portrait of the sitter for a reasonable price. Drawing produced small copper plates (master negative) that could be printed again and again. (1784, Gilles-Louis Chrétien) |
| Camera Obscura (definition) | Phenomenon when light enters through a hole in a wall facing another wall or plane, the image will be projected in natural colors, but upside down. |
| Thomas Wedgwood (definition) | First person who has used light-sensitive chemicals to capture silhouette images on paper. First known to have attempted to photograph the image formed in a camera obscura. |
| Timeline of the invention of Photography/? | Heliography (Niépce) - Daguerreotype (Daguerre) - Calotype/Talbotype (Fox Talbot) - Collodion Process (Archer) - Ambrotype (Ambrose) |
| Characteristics of Heliography (4 + date) | 1813: Long exposure time, unique image without negative, horizontally inverted. |
| Joseph Nicéphore Niépce (definition) | Niépce has created the first permanent photograph ever. |
| Characteristics of Daguerreotypes (4 + date) | 1839: Still a long exposure time, produced just one image that was extremely fragile, very sharp in detail, images were difficult to view from a certain angle. |
| Most important difference between Heliography and Daguerreotype? | New process, which allowed daguerreotypes to be extremely sharp in detail. |
| William Henry Fox Talbot (definition) | Inventor of the negative image, which made replication of photos possible. |
| Characteristics of Calotype / Talbotype (4 + date) | 1835: Creates a negative (replication made possible), retouching could be done on either negative or print, far less delicate than daguerreotype, warmer tones than daguerreotype |
| Characteristics of Collodion Process (4 + date) | 1851: colorless and grainless, shorter exposure time, difficult processing (wet, sensitivity would drop once collodion had dried), strong collodion stank. |
| Frederick Scott Archer (definition) | Discovered collodion as an alternative to albumen and other glass processes and invented the wet plate collodion process. |
| Roger Fenton (definition) | First war photographer during the Crimean War, thanks to the collodion process. He had taken a whole travel trailer in order to develop the photographs. |
| Richard Leach Maddox (definition) | Invented lightweight gelatin dry plates (with silver salts in bromide-gelatin emulsion), allowing a dry plate collodion process. |
| Characteristics of Dry Plate Collodion Process (4 + date) | 1871: greater light sensitivity & shorter exposures, darkrooms no longer necessary, new range of cameras began to appear, first widely used photographic process that produced a negative image on a transparent photographic medium |
| Color difference between Calotype/Talbotype & Collodion Process? | Calotype/Talbotype: brown, yellow colors. Collodion Process: silvery, greyish tones. |
| James Ambrose Cutting (definition) | Invented the ambrotype (collodion positives). Underexposed negatives that can be viewed as positives. |
| Characteristics of Ambrotype (3 + date) | 1854: less exposure required, cheaper and quicker production, could be viewed from any angle |
| John William Frederick Herschel (definition) | First one to use the word 'photography', one of the main proto-photographers. He invented concepts 'negative' and 'positive'. When photography was fast enough and exposure time was short, he invented the term 'snap shot' (+/- 1860) |
| Main positions about potential of 'camera art' (3) | 1. Photographs are not art as they are made with a mechanical device & physical and chemical phenomena. 2. Photographs are useful to art but should not be considered equal in creativeness. 3. Photography is a useful replication technique. |
| Types of uses of photography (7) | 1. Fine Art; 2. Scientific; 3. Travel; 4. Documentary; 5. Advertising; 6. Fashion Photography; 7. Sports Photography |
| Characteristics of Fine Art Photography (6) | Express feelings and emotions, artistic freedom, create profound impression, radically different approach to reality, in contrast to representational photography, mise en scène (=everything is intentional). |
| Types /examples of Scientific Photography (5) | Aerial photography, high-speed photography, microscopic photography, X-ray photography, stroboscobic flash. |
| Characteristics of Travel Photography (4) | One of the most popular uses of photography, one of the first to appear, goal is to capture nature and reality, allowed people to know other places and cultures. |
| Characteristics of Scientific Photography (3) | Verification tool with neutral aesthetic, lack of emotional values, used in specialized fields. |
| Characteristics of Documentary Photography (6) | Immediate, reality, truthful, interested in the time we live in, typically covered in professional photojournalism, a way of social documentation (also denounce injustice and other social issues). |
| FSA (definition) | Farm Security Administration, 1935. Photographers that register rural working conditions. |
| FSA Photographers (8) | Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, Gordon Park (political), Ben Shahn, Arthur Rothstein, Jack Delano, John Vachon, Russel Lee |
| Characteristics of Advertising Photography (5) | Great formal quality, persuasive communication, needs to commercialize a product, intentional photography, huge budgets. |
| Characteristics of Fashion Photography (5) | Presents new designs through specialized press, attractive images aimed to conquer the viewer, high quality standards, trend settings, defines an era and its way of living, has a short "life" and therefore needs to be powerful, impacting & perfect. |
| Fashion Photographers (6) | Barón Adolf Gayne de Meyer, Man Ray, H.P. Horst, Richard Avedon, Patrick de Marchelier, Herb Ritts. |
| Characteristics of Sports Photography (5) | Immediate, great news coverage, action needs action, equipment is everything, fast transmission. |
| Types of image sensors (2) | CCD (charge-coupled device) or CCMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) |
| Types of lenses (2) | FF (Full frame, more professional, less grain, better reaction to light) or APS C (smaller sensors with crop factor, lightweight, more lenses available for those cameras) |
