Long exposure
Jesná, Katarína ; MUSILOVÁ, Helena (advisor) ; SILVERIO, Robert (referee)
The Bachelor Thesis deals with the long exposure principle as a way of photographic expression. The thesis partly researches the technical dimension of the exposure time´s historical development in the context of its shortening. Differing from the past as the authors treated the long exposure as a negative effect and were trying to prevent from it, in the modern photography the principle is fully accepted as a creative instrument. The thesis core researches various approaches to the long photographic exposure in terms of authors and their work, created using those methods. In the Thesis we treat the long exposure as a creative way to get the required atmosphere into the picture, mainly to subdue or strengthen its inner dynamics. The paper looks over the long exposure as the ability to record the time flow and the transformation prcinciple, the way to change the object´s perception - from the action to the scene or from the crowd to the individual. Finally, the Thesis deals with the long exposure as an expression method of self-portrait.
