*The surreal camera movement was an

extravagant one, where photographers

composed photos that are out of the ordinary,

very surrealistic. Scenes are illogical, and

create strange settings and creatures from

ordinary settings.

*Surrealism was developed around World War I,

it started in Paris, and then spread across the

world

*The pop art movement started in the 1950’s. It

was a new movement that challenged

traditional art, by including popular pictures

from the modern era, such as newspapers and

magazines.

*Some say it is a reaction of the abstract ideas

of expressionism, and an expansion of the

movement itself.

*Abstract photography is like abstract art, in

which it concentrates, on lines, shapes, colour,

form, and texture.

*Often, not all of the picture is in focus. Often

only a small part of it is.

*Abstract photos come in a variation of

patterns, textures, crop, shape, blur, and

expression of movement.

*Minimalist photography is a way of thinking in

terms of photography.

*The world minimal means little, as few as

possible. A minimalist photo is one that that

has as few elements as possible.

*The aim is to display as few conventions as

possible to convey meaning

*Constructivism was an Russian architectural

photography that came to light in 1919.

*Constructivism had an effect on modern

artistic movements in 20th century, that

influenced trends such as Bauhaus.

*Alexsandr Rodchenko was a former artist and

photographer who had a great influence in

constructivism. He was one of the most

versatile constructivist artist to emerge after

the revolution of Russia.
