It’s time for Avi to have his headshot taken in the local photography studio. The photographer is using a camera that contains different filters and a lens to complete the photoshoot. The photographer’s assistant is using his phone to capture Avi’s portrait and you can see it instantly as the image taken because digital pixels are helping to display it.
The title “Picture Perfect Chemistry” has been drawn from architectural blueprints. Blueprints are a contact print process which is processed on a light-sensitive sheet. Photographic paper (used in cameras) and cyanotype paper (used for blueprints) involve direct exposure to light, resulting in a visible image.
While both papers share light sensitivity, their chemical processes, color outcomes, and intended applications are different. Photographic paper is more versatile, while cyanotype paper is specialized for creating blue-toned prints. These materials reveal the link between photography and blueprinting, displaying the fascinating relationship between chemistry, light, and creativity.
In the photographic studio, you can find:
- Developing photographs: when you photograph pictures using film, you need to use chemicals to develop the image. When the chemical reaction is complete then you can see the photo, or it is “developed.”
- Lights: an object necessary for portrait photography, highlighting an object makes it look its best.
- Background image: usually white or grey, it helps to make a portrait look more professional.
- Cameras: Photographers use several types of cameras such as ones with film or a DSLR camera to produce a different photographic effect.
- People waiting to have their photo taken: Because who doesn’t want their photo taken?
