Overall impression of the photographs
|
|
Personally, I
enjoyed my visit to Gulf Photo Plus as it was not limited to one main theme.
The exhibit included various photos by many different photographers. In each
of the photos there is something special to be viewed. Some of the photos
were normal but many were exquisite and breathtaking. I can still recall one
of the images from the gallery which was so peaceful, colorful, professional
and above all meaningful.
I think what made
me prefer Gulf Photo Plus is the range of photo’s available from colored
images to black and white photos. The various images by different
photographers allowed me to be inspired every time I look into a photo. Some
of the photographers showcased phenomenal images, as if the images were out
of this world, the beauty of the photos are undescribale. Other photos made
me associate with my inner feeling, and immediately connected with some of
the images and the photographer.

Description the
aesthetic nature of the photographs in the exhibition
|
||||
|
The beauty of the
pictures I saw and favored impacted me because of the way they were taken.
None of the pictures were staged they were all spontaneous and that gave the
true impression about the scene. Not only that but the quality, colors and
the way each photo is introduced to the viewer is what gives each photo its
aesthetic appeal of glamorous and phenomenal overlook. Although the photo’s
reflected moments from reality the photos were so beautiful as if they were painted
by an artist.
The aesthetic nature
of the photos can’t be described as there were many photos each single photo
is by a different photographer. Every photographer had his\her own
techniques. Yet it is possible to say that each photographer showed their
personal techniques excellently in one photo. Some of the images had depth of
field, other contained obvious manipulation whilst some showcased focus on
details. At the end every photo had some kind of unique beauty that
represents its photographer.
One of my most
favorite photos was Fakur Al- Salam… the colors of the images, the beautiful
nature, the peacefulness of the place, the depth of field, the focus of
details all aspects were in one image. One way to describe the image is “unlimited
beauty”

Write at least
THREE things you learned about photography through this exhibition.
|
||||
|
1.
Photo’s that are
spontaneous give a true reflection of reality. It makes the viewer feel
something just by looking. They say a photo speaks a thousand words and those photos’
had no description yet just by viewing the photo you can understand the whole
situation and get that feeling of connection to the image.
2.
The quality of the
photos is as important as the meaning and the content of the photo itself. The
better and more enhanced the quality the more the viewer’s enjoy glazing at the
photo. Therefore, to enhance the quality of the image the aesthetic nature of
the photos should include not one but more of aspects that create an excellent
photo. From depth of field to colors and lightning to the subject of the photo
being clearly modified.
3. The variation of
photos hanged all in one gallery allows us as visitors to be bedazzled by the
beauty of variation. I personally, enjoyed viewing the different themes and the
type of photos with each representing its photographer way of showcasing an
image that contain all the meaning of beauty in addition to his\her personal
techniques
