                                                                                Cubism

            Within the first two decades of the 20th century, a new art movement began that was unlike any other which was called cubism. Cubism is when the artist will piece together fragments from different vantage points into one painting. Cubism was started/ credited by the artists Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso. Cubism relates to photography because you could do the same thing with a photo that you could do with a painting. The difference is that when your painting it your using a paintbrush to make the effect of cubism but with a photo your capturing an object with a camera and then using a mouse on the computer to make the same effect on the photo as you do with a painting. Some of my ideas for this assignment is to use depth of field and rule of thirds as for the object I would be capturing I’m not sure what I would like to capture yet.

                                                Commercial Photography 

            Commercial Photography is a way to advertise what you want to sell.  How advertising uses commercial photography is if you take an item your trying to sell you might want images to compare to it in good ways like if you are trying to sell an iPod you might want to compare it with something pretty thin like a pencil which would help a viewer see how easy it is to carry it around. Commercial photography helps the viewers see things more interesting which helps the item to be sold. Usually when advertising you wants visuals and not just verbal commercials because you’re giving the person something to look at or to inspire to get and by using a picture it’s already worth 1,000 words.

            A few examples of using commercial photography is: trying to sell a product, promoting a business, food photographs for menus, fashion photography, Portrait photography, showing international disasters that happen in the world, in a movie poster like claim. Most of these fall under the category of advertising which is a big part of commercial photography.
