Concours photo septembre 2013 « Qu’est-ce que la rentrée? » – GRATUITTouch-arts/photo s’interroge: « Qu’est-ce que la rentrée ? » Répondez à cette question par la photographie et gagnez un abonnement au site touch-arts.com et une présentation au format A3 lors d’une exposition en octobre 2013. Histoire de la photographie: le gélatino-bromure, le rouleau de pellicule, George EastmanL’invention du procédé de tirage gélatino-bromure permit de libérer les photographes du poids du matériel et de la nécessité de développer les images, dès que le collodion humide fut soumis à l’exposition. Plus légers, plus mobiles, les nouveaux appareils photographiques à plaques sèches, plus sensibles, permirent de prendre des images en figeant le mouvement, à l’exemple des travaux de Muybridge, et d’explorer des lieux jusque là inaccessible aux photographes paysagistes.

Les noms des stations de Métro prises au pied de la lettre. Au milieu des années 90, le photographe Janol Apin a mis en scène les noms des stations du métro Parisien avec humour et imagination. De Monceau à Rue de la pompe en passant par Duroc et Dupleix, les stations parisiennes parlent le langage international du mime. Ceci n'est pas une photographie ... ni un montage. L’hyperréalisme comme on ne l’a jamais vu! Les peintures de Robin Eley sont déconcertantes de réalisme. Car ce ne sont pas des photographies mais bien des peintures à l’huile. L’artiste veut combattre l’art « jetable » notamment avec l’apparition du numérique.

Il confie ainsi sur son site : « En réduisant notre capacité d’attention à un clic de souris ou au glissement d’un doigt, les images sont réduites à une folie jetable. L’artiste australien, à l’aide de petites brosses et des heures de concentration, peint des nus et matériaux tels l’aluminium et le plastique. Voici donc les impressionnantes peintures de Robin Eley, plus vraies que nature …

Dream Catchers: Showcase of Ethereal Photography. Jun 08 2012 Photographers are powerful artists, whose manipulations of the images they capture, if not just the images themselves, can be so breathtaking and dream-like, that they almost exist in another world. Images that feel like amazing moments stolen from someone’s slumber, rather than were taken in the same reality that we all inhabit. This kind of ethereal photography is what we are here to showcase today.

Below you can take a walk through worlds so light and airy, created by a range of talented artists who have crafted these dreams and captured them to inspire others. We hope that you will get a boost from the creative energy flowing from this collection of ethereal photography.

Wonderland by Kirsty Mitchell: heart-breakingly beautiful photographic series in memory of an extraordinary life. Kirsty Mitchell's Wonderland series has been three years in the makingAll costumes, wigs and sets were constructed on a shoestring budgetSome images took up to five months to createShe would often wait an entire year to find the perfect natural setting for her shots By Stephanie Hirschmiller Published: 14:11 GMT, 17 May 2012 | Updated: 09:34 GMT, 18 May 2012 Kirsty Mitchell's late mother Maureen was an English teacher who spent her life inspiring generations of children with imaginative stories and plays.

Following Maureen's death from a brain tumour in 2008, Kirsty channelled her grief into her passion for photography. She retreated behind the lens of her camera and created Wonderland, an ethereal fantasy world. The photographic series began as a small summer project but grew into an inspirational creative journey. 'Real life became a difficult place to deal with, and I found myself retreating further into an alternative existence through the portal of my camera,' said the artist.

Que nous nous adressions à des enfants, à des analphabètes, à des personnes d’une langue étrangère ou, à l’inverse, que des personnes essaient de nous communiquer quelque chose sans l’usage de la parole ou de l’écrit, nous voilà réduits à faire des signes...

Justement, des signes ! Sclera a mis au point des centaines de pictogrammes standardisés et esthétiques pour communiquer des concepts plus ou moins élaborés à des personnes handicapées ou que la barrière de la langue sépare. Celles-ci peuvent pointer le pictogramme désiré ou un préposé peut transmettre son message de la même façon...

On peut les exploiter de différentes façons, en agrémenter des documents ou des exercices, en faire des affichettes, etc. On peut les combiner jusqu'à des concepts de plus en plus élaborés.

Powerful Facts About Visual Communication | The Mindjet Blog. Did you know that visuals are processed 60,000 times faster than text? Or how about the fact that they are processed simultaneously? I wanted to share some interesting facts about visuals with you today from an article by Mike Parkinson of billiondollargraphics.com.

Ever wonder why you can process visuals so much faster than text? This is because visuals are processed simultaneously whereas words are processed sequentially. Did you know that visual imagery is more powerful than words alone when used to communicate a message to an audience. A study commissioned by 3M Corporation, suggests that you can be 43% more effective when using visual aids as a presenter. The Stanford Persuasive Technology Lab asked 2,440 participants how they evaluated the credibility of a web site they were shown. Why is this the case? Graphics do what text alone cannot do. 1) Cognitively: “Graphics expedite and increase our level of communication. As you can see, having the right visuals is incredibly powerful. Photo Retouching. Cs.dartmouth. Deux scientifiques américains ont créé un programme qui décèle les retouches faites sur une image avec le logiciel Photoshop - L’algorithme qui démonte Photoshop. Alors que la communication d’H&M est pointée du doigt pour avoir collé des visages de top-modèles sur des corps de synthèse, deux scientifiques américains ont inventé l’outil rêvé des amateurs d’ « avant-après ».

Un chercheur en informatique, Hany Farid, et son élève doctorant, Eric Kee, de l’université de Darwood, aux États-Unis ont publié le résultat de leurs recherches la semaine dernière dans une revue scientifique américaine. Le programme qu’ils ont mis au point permet de faire apparaître, sur une échelle de 1 à 5, l’ampleur des retouches subies par une photo. Et cela donne lieu à des comparaisons saisissantes. Envolés, rides, bourrelets et teint brouillé ! Voir les « avant-après » Ces chercheurs espèrent que cela poussera les médias et les publicitaires à adopter une attitude autorégulatrice. Cela intervient alors qu’H&M a dû s’expliquer dans le magazine suédois Aftonbladet après avoir eu recours à des corps cyber-dessinés pour sa dernière campagne publicitaire.

Photo: NASA Goddard Space Flight Center The Orion Nebula is one of the brightest in the night sky and lies south of Orion’s Belt. It is 1344 (plus or minus 20) light years away and is the closest huge star formation area to earth. As such, it is the most photographed in the night sky and has taught us much about star and planetary formation.

Lighting For Liquid Series – EINSTEIN STRIKES BACK « Aurum Light Blog.

Hey Guys! We are almost ready for our AUSTRALIA Milk Workshops 2013 next month, but before the take-off we have a quick test on Lighting For Liquids and a bonus sneak peek into the set of our Bamboo Forest Shoot for The Liquid Series! In this test we will check that our Einsteins can compete and deliver the same results as a high-end lighting gear… Some time ago I saw a video featuring Bronco Scoro and Profoto Pro 8 Air called “A Real World Shootout” featuring a test of the flash duration of both systems. You can find that video here [click]. While watching it I couldn’t help myself thinking…“… wait a minute, this can be easily done with our 20-times less expensive lights!” So when we worked on our new Babmboo Forrest Shoot for the Liquid series, I decided to run a quick Video Response to the Real World Shootout using Paul Buff’s Einstein E640. .The Setup: We’ve replicated the set and like on the reference video set the camera Phase One P65+ with 110 Shneider lens to f/16. 50% Crop: .
