Audiophotography: Bringing Photos to Life with Sounds by David M. Frohlich (Engl

Description: Audiophotography by David M. Frohlich If you read the history of any new communication medium such as the cinema, television or radio, it always happens to be bound up with advances in some underlying technology. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description There are many practitioner books on different branches and styles of photography (e.g. landscape, studio, American, etc). Some of these even cover digital photography, as it exists today. However, there are very few research books on the meaning and practice of domestic photography, and almost none on the potential impact of digital technology on this important and widespread behaviour. Audiophotography combines a detailed user studies approach to photography, with consumers own critiques of new media content they have generated themselves. It is therefore a new book about domestic photography and its possible transformation with digital technology. Although it focusses on the role of sound in photography, it does so in relation to a new theory of photography which is tested and refined by empirical research. Such work is timely because of current interest in new media forms and the wide variety of new photography and video products and services emerging in the consumer market. It defines a new media type, audiophotos, and how it works, and should help readers to understand the possible benefits of other innovations in the digital photography industry. Notes This book details a new media type: audiophotos. It explains how audiophotos work, challenging the current industry view that the value of sound capture lies in the voice labeling of photos. Instead, the authors suggest that ambient sounds-of-the-moment have far higher value as a way of bringing photos to life and improving human memory for events. This book will help readers to understand the possible benefits of other innovations in the digital photography industry. Table of Contents A brief history of sound & image media.- Domestic photography & the role of sound.- Ambient photographs.- Musical photographs.- Talking photographs.- Conversational photographs.- Paper versus screen playback.- Conclusions.- References. Long Description If you read the history of any new communication medium such as the cinema, television or radio, it always happens to be bound up with advances in some underlying technology. For example, cinema was born out of the rapid projection of a series of still images on a celluloid film strip. The difficulty of synchronizing sound recordings with the resulting moving images led to about 30 years of silent films - until such time as the technical problems were solved. In between the inventions, media seem to grow and develop at a slower pace, as content producers and consumers experiment with the most satisfactory and stimulating ways of communicating with each other. In the same example, silent film-makers eventually found ways of adding dialogue through scene titles and having music played during the projection of their films. This book is about the next chapter in the history of photography, which is emerging from a relatively stable period into a chaos of new inventions. Photography as we know it is at the same point as the silent films of 1926. The transition from analog to digital photography is spawning many new ways of taking, manipulating and sharing photographs. It is also bringing photography and videography closer together by unifying sound, still and moving images in the same digital medium.
