NEW POINTS OF PHOTOGRAPHY ACHIEVED BY TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENTS

Abstract

With the invention of the camera, people photographed the beautiful moments, the beauty they saw, the important events in their lives. People actually used these photos as a means of communication. A news photo or photo that expresses their current happiness is both an art branch and a form of communication. Technology, which has been described as an indispensable concept in daily life since the second half of the 20th century, is a tool that contributes to development in every area of our lives from culture to art. Technological developments that are effective in the formation of our daily dynamics cause changes in science and art. In this context, art and technology are two inseparable concepts that constantly interact and develop with each other. Unlike other art branches, photography art is much more open to technological developments. When looking at the history of the art of photography, it is clearly seen that it has gained a great momentum in the societies with the developing technology. Especially in the last 20 years, the development and change in the field of production and display contributed to the formation of new concepts and new forms of production in the field of photography. Digital to the art of photography with the advent of the concept of technology, there was a stance against the traditional understanding of art, and with the formation of new formal production and presentations, a new understanding of language was born in photography. Today, in an environment where computer, internet and new media penetrate all areas of our lives, production of new visual content is an inevitable technological development. With this technological development, it has enabled the narrative language that the producer or artist can hardly create. With the digital concept of SLR (single lens reflex) with the concept of digital, DSLR (digital single lens reflex) came together with the opportunity to shoot more photos and videos in a single device. After the big changes of the cameras, the last point the cameras came to today was the mobile phones that we carry in our pockets. With this development, mobile visual production and consumption (sharing) facilitated instant communication and contributed to the formation of a new visual expression language and techniques. In this study, the production techniques of timelapse-hyperlapse (combining photographs taken at certain time intervals and converted into videos), selfie and drone (unmanned aerial vehicle) shootings, which are described as new visual production with digital technology, and in which areas this visual production is used presentation will be made.
