Vienna Secession

How i gonna relate Vienna Secession with my background "photography"?
eemmm....

Vienna Secession was created on 3 April 1897 in Austrian. It is caused by a group of Austrian artist such as Joseph Olbrich, Koloman Moser, Josef Haffman, Otto Wagner, Max Kurzwei and Gustav Klimt who are protest against the traditional art on theirs forebears. They totally reject the past and start move on modern method who nothing to historical influence. They aspired to bring more abstract, and purer form to the designer of building, furniture, sculpture and painting. The style of secession was symbolism, naturalists, modernists, and stylists.

For example : Gustav Klimt
Chor Der Paradiesengel
Against the traditional, characterized by a rejection of earlier naturalistic styles, emphasize on
symbols or symbolic elements to convey psychological ideas, using the female figure , stylist floral syle on the bottom, stylist on the character including Egyptian, Minoan, Classical Greek, and Byzantine inspirations and used the gold paint. Ornamentation being adapt for these painting.


From my perspective view, the Secessionist movement can be adapt in my background as photographer. Anyone can take pictures and has chance to create images in his or her own unique way. Key to creating greats pictures is not depends on the equipment but how we finding the way to seeing the things and adapt some creative elements on it. For example, creating a photograph involves consideration of element such as lighting, focus, colour, contrast, quality and good composition. To make photograph more interesting, the concept of 'ornamentation' plays an important to rules while taking or editing the photograph. All these creative thing happens to make photograph look interesting.

For example, these photograph has been edit and manipulated to makes an image photographic.
