- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
I was reading a comment by Mannheim and he made some reference to street photography as opposed to candid photography.
That stirred me to make up this diagram below.
The only two that aren't self-explanatory are 'complex' and 'objective.'
'Complex' photos are those that intentionally use different areas as important arts of the image rather than just incidental support for the main intent. An example of a omplex image would be a yong woman posed beside a waterfall and stream where the beauty of the two natural features are significant parts of the image.
"Objective' images are those where an object or objects are the main subject of the image, e.g. a vase with flowers in a shaft of light or an intricate set of mechanical cogs.
Note the purposeful overlapping of street and 'candid' and 'street' with 'cityscape.'
I was wondering how this fit with other people's understanding.
