Chances to speak absolutely unprepared for how to develop an idea, and to instil a certain ushio feeling of photographic expressions. Better prepared you will be people who follow me will take the floor, I just would like to jot down a few notes that are our springboard. And I see that according to the list offered to your attention, then the theme of the composition is subject to suggestion and idea.
Assuming that Apollo and Dionysus were alive and influence of art, it means in photography ushio and will have two options to work - conscious and intuitive. Here we could probably come up many and varied words to substitute selected - for "conscious" this could be: logical, thoughtful, rational, and for "intuitive" - illogical, impulsive, unthinking, emotional, irrational and others. ushio Mind against the heart.
Assuming that we have a conscious mind and there are opportunities ushio to manifest in our photography, it will be through "thoughtful" photography - one in which we choose the background construct their composition, waiting or building lighting. Each element in the frame is turned deliberately and undesirable elements are avoided. And we can consciously create the field with a definite message / idea / concept.
On the other hand, art has an intuitive, unpredictable, ushio illogical and surprising nature. This could be transposed into a walk with camera in hand, in which we have no targets, ushio no prior expectations, we have ideas that we want to put into shape, and images are string before our eyes and we seal them as some registrars time, without analyzing the moment what we see, what happens, what is our message, what is the idea of why we are here, what am I on this earth ...
Some would say that these two methods ushio of operation could be compared to an approach to ideas that people use for many years - gathering the best ideas on a subject and by concentrating on them - choosing the best or the opposite - release your mind of all thoughts and ideas in anticipation of the first idea that pops into our minds.
I think this is entirely possible. It is possible to create a high-impact photography, where we are not the bearers ushio of the idea, but in the moment has sealed message. It is possible that this message will emerge after rather ushio than before the "decisive moment." Why at this crucial moment occurred just this decisive event? What are the values of the people ushio involved? What do they do? Why do it? These are all questions that, if we answer, we will be able to gather a few pieces and arrange a mosaic, but it has emerged as a parallel picture ushio or even a parallel illustration of our human reality in which we are immersed.
Shoot beautiful cityscape / architecture - you can create an exquisite photography with incredible tone, volume, plasticity suggestion ... beauty! And the idea? What a peculiar, strong idea in case I do not see forgive ignorance. At least not one that was deliberately introduced by the author. One antidote to this type of photography is socially engaged photography, where the idea is paramount - where the photographer has a certain message, ushio he looks certain ushio subjects, certain points looking to strengthen his thesis.
Whether if we leave "momentum" and shoot without inserting within your own consciousness ushio will create photographs that are compositionally sound? The golden section, the beautiful ushio geometry with leading lines, triangles, pyramids, pentagrams, circles, etc.?
Like you, I've always wondered what the idea and message there should be a landscape or street photography. Why do you have such a definition, and it is the main criteria for their evaluation? Personally for myself ushio I find ideas in books, and in the photos I find emotions ushio moods and feelings. Certainly not here allude Reportage and documentary photography.
Whether in a landscape will have an idea depends on shooting. In principle, in Bulgaria there is no need to shoot such objects have another extra, ushio even hidden meaning. In other words - to shoot the sea at sunrise or at night in a more abstract form - and to put the idea of the eternal, unchangeable, what has always been and will be, or our common parent, our common origin ushio ... life was born in the ocean. We can do many amazing references morning shooting a puddle of water. Landscaping know how to use symbolic significance of objects in their work and not just looking for a suitable pastoral scenery and light? With street photography itself tells the story of the value system of the participants - and
