Final Project Proposal Title: Trick Photography

Introduction: It is very difficult to define photography in one single word or sentence. Every individual have their own receptions and meanings about photography. Photography can be a professional for someone or it can be an act to capture moments and memories. Technical understanding is the secondary aspect of photography in front of recording moments. People usually click photographs on an occasion, happening etc. In todays world of nano-technology, mobile phones have become a great medium to capture photographs. Mobile phones are becoming equivalent to professional cameras in market. Advancements in technology undoubtedly made our lives easier and simpler. The users dont have to be skilled or professional photographers to click a good photograph. It is quite noticeable in occasions like birthday parties, weddings, anniversaries etc. But there are few people who still believe that photography is an art. They take photography seriously and look forward towards photography as a profession. Photography as profession is a successful deed. Defining photography is like defining psychology every mind have its own identity. There is no specific definition to justify or define photography. Although photography practitioners feel that photography is capturing the spirit of subject, conveying any unique aspects or features to give expressions and meaning to it. Photography is both scientific and artist way of painting. Rules are meant to be broken, trick photography is about breaking rules and stepping over the traditional photography techniques. In trick photography person could feel the abstractness of the photograph. Viewer feels the manipulations but many times its just photography trick. Illations in minds of viewer are created through very little editing which gives effects of great manipulations and animations. Trick photography can be classified into 10 techniques:

1. Zoom burst 2. Levitation photography 3. Forced perspective 4. High-speed illusions 5. Light painting 6. Shape bokeh photography 7. Shadow illusions 8. Multiple exposure 9. Transparent screen trick 10. Star Trails

Methodology: For the fulfilment of final project and completion of the same, I will conceptualise creative trick photography shots. Minimum three photographs with different subjects and concepts in every type of trick photography will be clicked. The knowledge of photography gained from expert faculty and college resources adds lots of enthusiasm to conduct my final project. Using my camera equipment and photography knowledge, I will create final output.
