Impressionism Photo Techniques

August Photo Assignment
IMPRESSIONISM
Impressionism
Impressionism is about the quality of light. It is about the
relationships of color, light and shadow, often including
reflections in water.
!
That is it in a nutshell.You are incorrect if you think it is more than that. Im guessing
more than one person is wondering about the application of paint in small colored
dabs. The artists were, with intention and purpose, controlling the colors, shapes,
sizes and rhythm of those dabs to create an effect of light. To be sure, they add an
extra element of participation from the viewer but those are artifacts of the act of
painting. Were not painters. Were photographers. Those dabs of paint by themselves
do not define Impressionism. Impressionism is all about the quality of light.
Impressionism
Following are some examples. Ignore the
application of the paint and concentrate on the
handling of light. Notice the multitude of color
within the shadowed and sunlit areas. In some
there is crystal clear sunlight. In others the light
is filtered by haze or steam.

The subject matter is wide open. As you will
see below, the compositions arent just
landscapes but the emphasis as always on the
light.

Think about the atmosphere.
Thats the key.

Impressionism Photo Techniques
Intentional Camera Movement

Zooming

Soft Focus

Long Exposures
Intentional Camera Movement

This technique works great on
landscapes with strong lines such as
the horizontal lines in a beach scene
or the vertical lines in a forest scene
but you can do it anywhere.

You will need to experiment quite a
bit before you get a result you like but
that is all part of the fun. Every frame
will turn out differently.
Zooming
Similar to the above
technique, this one is
intentional camera
movement too, but
instead of panning you
zoom your lens in or
out during the exposure.
Soft Focus
With this technique only a very very
small portion or none of the frame will
be in focus. The rest will be extremely
soft and painterly. It will be better to
use a lens that has a very wide
aperture opening (f/1.8 or 2.8 for
example) but not essential. It will work
best if you move away from your
subject and use a telephoto lens to
zoom in.
Long Exposure
This technique works well
on subjects that have
some motion such as
waves or shooting on a
windy day.
Remember:
Think about the atmosphere

Regardless of the technique you use, it
still has to be a good composition
Good luck!

PHOTOGRAPHY TECHNIQUES
For creating photographic works of art

strengths and challenges. The beauty of these

techniques lays in their simplicity and there is
no need for expensive cameras or special gear.
The only requirement is a camera with manual
control settings and a touch of creativity.
This month I would like to focus on two of
my favourites techniques: Intentional camera
movement and selective focus.
Page 23
here are so many methods of producing

impressionist photography including
defocusing, panning, intentional camera
movement, selective focus, burst zoom, etc...
In fact, one technique even uses Vaseline on
the lens (or filter for easier cleaning) to diffuse
the light beautifully. Each technique offers a
different experience, with its own particular
You will need: Your camera with manual exposure control, any lens, and optional ND filter(s) to block
excess light if necessary.
Begin by setting your camera to shutter speed priority mode and you are ready to create your first
impressionist photograph! Shutter speed of 1/10 of a second is a good starting point.
I find great pleasure and satisfaction from working with camera movement, despite its somehow
unpredictable nature. Quite often the result is as much influenced by good fortune and happy accidents
as it is by skill and experience.
Page 24
Camera Movement
As the camera movement during exposure is going to strip your subject of details, it is important to
choose your subject carefully. Trees are usually very forgiving objects to begin with. They have very
strong vertical lines, and you can practice on them as long as you need to. Check often your results on
LCD screen and adjust your shutter speed or camera movement accordingly.
Points to Remember
- Take a LOT of pictures. Experimentation is
really the key to success.
- Mind your background. Strive for simplicity.
- Dont be afraid of making mistakes. They are
part of learning process. With every mistake,
youve just learned something new.
Page 25
The real charm of these photographs lies in

their simplicity. It is important to train yourself to
break down the scene in front of you into areas
of simple shapes and colour. This will help you to
create simple composition with a clear message.
Learning how to read and interpret your cameras EXIF data (Exchangeable Image File Format) can
be a valuable post-shoot leaning tool. It is permanent record of the exact camera settings used, including
aperture, shutter speed, focal length, ISO, metering, flash and white balance modes, plus the data and
time. Analyze how light, shutter speed and camera movement affected the way your subject matter was
recorded by your camera. Choose your favorite results and try to replicate it. The more you practice the
better you will become. Slowly, with experience you can move on to more challenging subjects.
Selective Focus Technique
to create dynamic and interesting compositions.
Part of impressionist photographys charm

and freshness relies on allowing the light and
lens to do what they do so well, but with a little
guidance from us. Because we can see the effect
in the viewfinder, our job is to simply find a strong
composition and focus the lens in a right place.
The approach to this technique will vary from

subject to subject. Find what works for you. In
many ways you just have to trust your instincts
and allow the light to guide you.
You will need: Your camera with manual exposure

control and a fast lens (1.8 - 2.8 works best).
- Have fun with your camera.

- Every lens will give you different results.
- By looking for interesting light instead of looking
for interesting subjects you are on your way to
creating better photographs.
Technique is important to the success of

any photograph(s), but its only one aspect of
a photographers work. Techniques should not
replace what you are trying to communicate,
rather help make that message clearer. It can
become a pointless exercise where there is too
much reliance on technique.
The main goal is to produce painterly

photographs that rely more on soft forms than on
sharp details. Use lines, colour and basic shapes
Final note
Page 26
This time, set your camera to aperture priority

mode and choose your widest f-stop. Manual
focusing works better and it is easier to just
move the camera slightly back and forth instead
of rotating the lens-focusing ring to get the right
part of the image in focus. By shooting subjects
either slightly or largely out of focus, you capture
shapes of light, form, and striking colors.

The
Visual Language
of Abstract
Photography
by: Eva Polak
Page 13
Abstraction is inherent in the photographic medium and

through abstraction the photographer exercises choices that
carry photography beyond record-realism to the expression of
his or her personal viewpoint......

- Barbara Morgan
At first you may only look at the colours in

the subject you are photographing and try to
emphasize those that are vibrant, or find colour
combinations that work together. Having a basic
understanding of colour theory and the way
colours interact with each other will help you to
make the best possible use of them in your images.
Then you may start looking at the symbolic
power of colours and how they make us feel.
For example, blue has a calming effect. It can be
associated with sadness (feeling blue), but also
with freshness. Black represents fear and sadness
but also power and elegance. Every colour has
its own negative and positive connotations. The
way we notice them depends on culture and
individual experiences.
The great power of abstract photography lies
in its ambiguity. It opens your mind to a brand new
visual experience, stimulates your imagination,
and forces you to look at the world around you
differently and more carefully.
Unlike other types of photography, abstract
images can be created almost anywhere. Everywhere
we go we are surrounded with colour, textures and
patterns. Finding interesting compositions can be
challenging at first, but with a little bit of practice
and persistence you will see abstract images in the
ordinary and familiar things around you.
Lines and simple shapes also have a huge impact

on how the image is going to be perceived. We use
lines and simple shapes every day. Road signs are
a very good example of this. In the same way, you
can use lines and simple shapes to communicate
your messages. Think about what kind of lines will
express the emotional character of calm, strong,
explosive or fragile. Use the direction, thickness,
and relationship between lines.
As with colour, simple shapes also have some
symbolic power. A square is associated with
resting and stability, a triangle - with change and
progression. A circle imparts inclusion and infinity.
There are really no guidelines for creating

good abstract images. The main goal of abstract
photography is to use the visual language of colour
and form to evoke mood or emotion. So the first
question you should ask yourself before you press
a shutter release is, How do I feel about this and
why? As with any other languages visual language
has it own grammar and vocabulary. The more you
practice the more fluent you become.
Page 14
Because of the great amount of imagination

and creativity involved in its process, abstract
photography can also be an excellent exercise
for photographers interested in other fields of
photography helping to improve their proficiency
in general. It is especially helpful in building skills
in attention to detail, appreciation of colour and
finding textures.
As you can see, visual language is a tool that employs the power of symbols and association. When
mastered, visual language enables you to communicate way beyond just simple shapes and colours, and it
also helps you to appreciate art in general.
Tips to remember:
Give yourself freedom and dont worry about the rules.
Enjoy the creative process in which nothing is wrong.
Discover that there is infinitely more than just straight photography.
Above all have fun.
The
Impressionist
Way
LEARNING TO SEE
by: Eva Polak
hotography is all about light

and without light photography
simply doesnt exist.
Youll find some of the most

exciting light when the sun is
setting. So for your next photo
shoot, I highly recommend that
you head west to use some
creative techniques, experiment
with the impressionist approach
to photography, and have fun! After all, having more than one way of seeing the world
around you not only helps to turn your imagination loose, but also to expand your field
of artistic options.
Impressionist art aims to capture the fleeting

effects of nature, the atmosphere of a particular
time of a day. The evening light, playful and ever
changing, is perfect for capturing impressionist
styles of photographs. You can get some very
different results taking photos over the course
of only 15-30 minutes. Even when the suns disk
disappears below the horizon and the colours
change again, new opportunities for great
images arise.
Your goal is to express an emotion or mood.
To accomplish this you should only suggest
detail, rather than focus on it, and emphasize
shapes, light and colour and the relationship
between them.
Impressionism is not a definable technique as
such, but a way of seeing and engaging the viewer
in the interpretation of the subject and mood.
An important aspect of improving any
photography technique is to experiment. You
will learn so much faster from studying your own

photography and trying to resolve problems
that arise when shooting. Its a matter of letting
curiosity lead to discovery, trying new ideas just
to see what will happen. Integrating an original
discovery in your work makes you, without fail, a
better photographer.
When you are experimenting, it is important
to keep in mind that whatever you do you cant
expect a specific outcome. Instead, go wherever
an idea takes you and explore what you see
happening on your LCD screen at the back of your
camera. The essence of photography is a mixture
of spontaneity and control. If you are relaxed and
having fun, you will be more open to ideas and you
will work more creatively.
Your camera is nothing more than a tool. The
end result is determined by the skills of the person
using this tool, so its important to understand
your camera, how it varies from your own eyes and
what it can and cant do.
Page 18
Once youve mastered some basic techniques and controls of your

camera the possibilities of what you shoot and how are endless. You will
enter into fascinating world where the only limitation is your sense of
adventure and creativity.
Like I mentioned before, there is no strict formula to create an
impressionist photograph. The only thing that matters is what you want.
Dont worry too much about other people opinion. Always listen to
your own vision. Follow your hart. Remember that the only thing that is
original is you; your taste, your feelings, your unique experiences.
If you not quite sure what your vision is, you may ask yourself what
do you like about your own photographs? There will be always some
aspects of your photographs that you really like, more than anything
else. It could be a certain look, colour, composition or use of light. When
you are aware of what excites you in your own work, you can do it again
intentionally. With an intend you become free to explore the world of
impressionist photography, to work with light, and create highly unique
images that other people will want to look at and enjoy.

by Eva Polak
Urban environments are a great place to explore various impressionist

photography techniques. There is no shortage of subject matter to
photograph, even in a small town. Full of colour, textures and patterns, everchanging urban landscapes gives endless opportunities to create exciting
photographs from the early morning right into the late hours of the night.
12
Impressionism is not a definable

technique, rather it is a way of seeing and
expressing the effect of light upon the
subject, so always spend some time just
looking at the subject to determine how do
you want to interpret it. Each of us have a
different view of the world and that should

reflect on how we photograph it. Once
youve decided how you want to interpret
a subject, push the boundaries of your
own photography and take chances with
something different.
~ Learn to see beyond

the obvious; make use of
different elements in a scene
such as colour, shapes, lines
and textures.
13
A good place to start

is to look for intriguing
abstractions of reality in
reflections. There is an
abundance of reflections
throughout an urban
landscape. Widows, glass
surfaces, mirrors, wet streets,
puddles of water, water
features, rivers, and highly
reflective materials used
on building exteriors all
provide the perfect surface
for creating interesting
impressionist images.
Reflections will also vary in
intensity throughout the day
as the strength and direction
of light changes. Additionally,
some materials wont reflect
an image, but they will
reflect colour and light with
varying degrees of intensity
that you can use to create
a visual excitement in your
photographs and stimulate
the senses of the viewer.
Remember that your goal
is to express an emotion or
a feeling and mood, so try
to only suggest detail rather
than focus on it. Also try
to emphasize colours and
shapes and the relationship
between them. Free your
mind from what you know (or
think you know) about your
subject and respond directly
to the pure visual sensations
of colour and light.
14
~ Experimentation is the key to good

impressionist techniques; try things,
and if they dont work, try again
until you master them.
Perhaps the greatest challenge of

impressionist photography lies in its
unpredictably to some extent, even in the
hands of experts. This can be a daunting
experience at first, but with a bit of practice
and careful planning you will learn quickly
how to control your camera to achieve the
desired effect. Embrace and approach each

technique with the spirit of experimentation.
Dont be too quick to give up. Remember
everything takes time and patience. Some of
the impressionist photography techniques
may take on a mind of their own, but this is all
part of the excitement.
15
Amongst the many ways of

achieving an impressionist feel in
your photographs, perhaps the most
popular is the use of blur. There are
many kinds of blur: Lens blur, motion
blur, panning/zooming blur, filter blur
(Vaseline, hairspray, stockings, cling
wrap, etc), each lending its own
look and characteristics.
Blur offers many opportunities
for producing extraordinary images
and which blur to use will depend
of your own preferences. Apart from
strictly aesthetic reasons you should
also consider what kind of mood each
technique lends the image with regard
to the chosen subject and a message
that you want to communicate. For
example, blur patterns produced
by panning support the illusion of
motion as well as recording time in
a single frame. Lens blur will suggest
ambiguity and mystery, where
hairspray will add a romantic feel to
the photograph. Look at the subject
matter, lighting, colors, shapes, and textures,

and decide upon the emotions you wish to
convey in your image. Blur can be a highly
effective way of achieving this.
One of the most common mistakes of
the beginner photographer, regardless of
a technique used, is not paying enough
attention to the background. All the elements
in an image should work together, so before
you push the shutter release button, switch
your focus to the background to make sure
that there is nothing there to detract the
viewer from the main subject.
16
~ Strive to make photographs that

viewers will respond to emotionally.
The next time you photograph an urban landscape and its vibrant colours, bold and graphic
shapes, and intriguing reflections, allow yourself to be led by light. Hopefully you will find
subjects that will inspire you to take risk and explore new ways of seeing.

PUSHING
BOUNDARIES
and breaking out of creative comfort zones

by Eva Polak
Some of the most spectacular photographic opportunities can be found in the

west coast of Auckland, New Zealand. This region was formed by a series of
volcanic eruptions over the past 22 million years. Its turbulent past created a
diverse environment of wild spirit, rolling surf, dramatic cliffs, and distinctive
black sand beaches.
These beaches were made famous by the Academy Award winning movie, The Piano
(filmed at Karekare Beach), and popular TV series like Xena Warrior Princess and Hercules
(both filmed at Bethells Beach).
18
The west coast is also home to unique

wildlife. Otakiamiro Point at Mutiwai Beach is
the site of one of New Zealands few mainland
gannet breeding colonies.
Locations such as these provide us with
excellent photographic opportunities, but
they can also present challenges, forcing us
to photograph in innovative and new ways.
Every day images are created at exactly the
same spots; every day we can see more
and more images online, in books and
magazines - and its becoming increasingly
more difficult to be original.
So, what can we do to look at the familiar

places through fresh eyes? We can start by
not photographing the obvious. We can also
explore some alternative techniques and hope
(or plan) for a pleasant visual surprise waiting
for our camera. Or we can simply look at our
own work and try to break our photographic
routines to challenge ourselves.
We all have our own methods for creating
photographs. Perhaps it is the use of a
particular lens, or the subject matter, or a
specific technique. If you are not sure, just look
closely at your images to discover your own
visual patterns and preferences.
19
I believe that all

photographers should go
through reappraisal of their
work to keep it fresh and
exciting. You can easily
achieve that through a series
of open-minded experiments.
Through experimentation
you will develop a skill for
looking at subjects in a more
imaginative way. You will
find that one idea leads
to another and that your
creative juices then begin to
flow. You will also discover
that there are no boundaries,
only those you impose on
yourself; but in order to
make your own personal
discoveries it is important to
spend time playing.
20
If you dont use a tripod, take it with you.

It may feel cumbersome at first, but it will
make you slow down and compose your
images more carefully. If you shoot mainly
with a wide-angle lens, leave it at home and
take a telephoto lens instead. It will help
you to capture landscape more intimately. If
you like sharp images, have a photo-shoot
exclusively using defocus. It will reveal to you
a more abstract look of the familiar site.

When you experiment you are not always
in control, but part of the skill is to recognize
the happy accidents and use these to your
advantage. The challenge of working outside
your comfort zone can result in some
refreshing new work and without a doubt, it
will make you a better photographer.
21
Points to remember...
Practice your normal approach/techniques on new subjects.
Give yourself permission to play. Experimenting is vital to the
learning process and is never a waste of time.
Remember that even tiny experiments and changes are
move forward.
Archive your results from the use of new techniques/
approaches, and look through them for ideas when you need
a creative boost.

PHOTOGRAPHY
Learning to see with a new perspective

by Eva Polak
AbstracT
Making an attempt to start something new

can be both daunting and intimidating.
If you have only been doing straight

photography, contemplating abstract work
might seem difficult. However, by deciding
to take this step, you will be expending
your photographic horizons and opening
up countless new creative possibilities.
19
One of the most crucial aspects of abstract

photography is finding subject matter that
you want to explore or capture. It is not always
easy, but it can be found all around us. You
just need a little thought and a little practice
at really looking and seeing subjects in a new
and different way. You can explore artistic
themes found in both the natural world and
man-made objects, and begin to capture
abstract effects such as reflections, shadows,
silhouettes, colours, patterns and textures.
When you are searching for subject matter
it is important to be aware of your emotions
and let them guide you through the process.
Try to photograph your response to the mood
that the subject evokes. Be intuitive. If the

subject does not speak to you it will not speak
to anyone else through your photographs.
Before you photograph a subject you
need to have an idea about how you are
going to interpret it, and how you will
translate this idea into the photograph. You
can help yourself generate ideas by keeping
a visual diary, where all your concepts, notes,
and different bits of inspiration can be easily
accessed and used when needed. Collect
images that surprise you, shock you or that
simply inspire you. Ask yourself questions
about how to achieve a new perspective on
familiar objects. How can you extract new
20
meanings from old objects? How can you

depict them in a way that will suddenly
make them seem unfamiliar? Is there
an angle which the object has never
been seen before? With practice you will
encourage your intuition and imagination,
and develop your own techniques of
simplification and abstraction.
All good photographs are not just
taken they must be designed within
the rectangle of the pictures frame.
Design is about planning and organizing
the colours, shapes and lines that are
used to create an image. Although it can
be restrictive to have rigid rules when
composing your image, it is wise to
follow some principles in order to create
a balanced photograph. But remember,

design principles are simply a guide
and you should not compromise your
artistic vision for the sake of using them.
When you understand the relationship
between all the elements of design and
you have a clear idea what you want to
achieve, composing an image becomes a
straightforward and effortless exercise.
With a bit of practice you will be able
to read the subject in terms of these
elements and see how they relate to
each other. This will help you also to
be less influenced by the reality of the
objects, and will allow you to use the
expressive language of those elements
more freely. Shapes, colour, textures and
lines, by associations, can create feeling,
imply meaning, atmosphere and ideas.
21
For example, colour

has the ability to stimulate
emotion and make
statements about shape
and space. Bright and bold
colours suggest happiness
and warmth; on the other
hand, dark but rich colours
suggest a sinister and
mysterious mood.
Abstract photography
is like telling a story. You
have to make it short,
beautiful and precise, as
well as clear, exciting and
imaginative.
There are also many
techniques you can
use to create abstract
photographs. For instance,
macro photography lends
itself very well to abstract
shots, because it shows
us the world in a different
way than we normally see.
The exciting thing
about trying new
techniques is not quite
knowing what will
happen. Maintain the
feelings of excitement
as you photograph. It is
important to experiment and actively search for new approaches and techniques. The more you
experiment with your photography, the better your technique will become, and the easier it will
be to achieve your expressions.
Remember that technique is only a tool that helps you to translate your idea into a
photograph. The most emotive photographs come from those photographers who are able to
work with real feeling and passion.

IMPRESSIONS
OF AUTUMN
How to create mood using composition, colour & light

by Eva Polak
Photographs that evoke a mood such as drama, mystery, happiness, solemnness, suspense
or calm, usually attract our attention. This is because mood is difficult to pin down and
recreate. You cant reach out and touch it like texture, or see it like colour. Mood is a state
of mind, an emotional response to the things you see, hear or experience. If you want to
capture mood, let your own emotions guide you, so the images you take reflect how you
were feeling at the time.
14
Like every season,

autumn has its unique look
and atmosphere. Its a time
of harvest, change and
preparation to winter. The
leaves are slowly falling and
changing their colour from
green to gold to red and to
yellow. Mist in the morning is
shining through the sunlight.
This really is the perfect time
to learn how to capture mood
and atmosphere in your images.
Most beginning photographers
capture atmosphere quite
unconsciously, so the goal is to
be fully aware of how to achieve
the effects we are aiming for.
As we said before, mood is
the emotional flavour of an
image that evokes feelings that
the subject alone would not
provoke. Each element of an
image, including colour, tone,
placement, and composition
adds to the ambience and
impression we perceive when
looking at a photograph.
Composition funnels our attention

to the heart of a photograph, artful
use of colour can stroke an emotion,
and light can be used to dramatize
the subject. The challenge is to use
these elements in a meaningful way.
15
In photography, light is needed to define

a subject and bring definition to objects.
The quality of light has immense emotional
power, simply because it dictates the physical
appearance of everything we photograph.
Light will make things look warm or cold,
hard or soft, flat or 3-dimensional. For
example the use of hard light can create
dramatic images full of impact and life; soft
light can generate images full of mystery and
imagination, of atmosphere and sentiment.
Composition should always be planned
to emphasize a subject matter. Most images
have to make their impact within the first few

seconds. Make the most of the surroundings,
and tell a story with the elements you are
including. Utilize the principals of design.
You can start with C, S, X and V shaped
compositions. Use of shapes and lines also
have a great impact on the mood of your
images. You can use horizontal lines to depict
calm and rest, or diagonal, sharp lines for
dynamism and playfulness.
Colour can be used effectively to express
emotion and create a mood. It has an
appealing directness that draws you in.
16
Colour seems to have a

life of its own; it can be
tricky to use it well. The
sensual quality of colour
can bring intensity of
feeling to the image and
the sensation of colour
can have vastly different
effects, depending of
the subject matter and
relationship between
colours. For example,
complimentary colours,
such us red and green
or blue and orange,
make bold statements
about the subject and
force the viewer to
follow the colour in the
composition.
An awareness of colour
is the starting point. As
you delve deeper, your
use of colour will become
more personal. The goal is
to translate your thoughts
and feelings into particular
colours. Studying colour
effects will open your eyes
to more possibilities and
allow you to make more
informed and conscious
choices.
Mood and atmosphere
are not exactly subjects in
themselves, rather, they
create the context that
helps you tell an expressive story about your subjects. Before you start creating your images it
might be useful to consider what direction you want to take. Can you formulate your goal in one
short sentence? Your goal might, for instance, be something like this: How can I show, in one
17
image, the impression of falling autumn leaves? Then, think of 3-4 adjectives that describe your
goal. You may consider your choice in terms of light, form, colour and technique. For example
light soft but direct for bold and strong autumn colours like yellow, orange and brown. Form
use of short oblique lines for dynamic and playful composition. Technique slow shutter speed
to emphasize movement and change.
As you can see having a clear goal of what you trying to convey will guide you through the
process of image making. Have fun and experiment!
