Phocabulary: Diffusion The scattering of light, which otherwise travels in a straight line into myriad different directions. Each beam continues to cast a shadow, but the many shadows are all in slightly different positions. Soft light results, with its shadow being a gradual transition rather than a distinct line. Accomplished by passing light through translucent material (or atmospheric particulate like smoke, fog, clouds, or rain), or bouncing it off a matte surface.

Phocabulary: Minimalism A style known for its precise and pared-down aesthetic. Minimalism advocates an essential quality of geometric abstraction and often uses a monochromatic or a highly reduced array of colors. With influences from Zen philosophy and the Japanese sense of beauty, essential forms, order, materials, and simplicity are advocated. Minimalism can be seen as a reaction against expressionism, ornamentation, and even consumerism.

I recommend you check out this book and note the progress of time let along with Mr. Shabazz’s work.

Phocabulary: Color Space The range of colors that can be reproduced on a computer monitor or in print. The most commonly used color spaces for digital imaging are the baseline sRGB or Standard RGB, created in 1996, and a wider-gamut, Adobe RGB later in 1998.

Book: This week I’m suggesting you head to your local book store check out a few magazines that catch your eye. Pay attention to the model or subject on the cover and analyze the editing. Try to figure out how much retouching was involved to create that finished product. I’m a fan of tangible things so I would actually go to a brick and mortar book store but you can also find a wide range of magazines on Issuu.com.

Phocabulary: Catchlight The reflection of light sources in the human eye. Catchlights indicate the direction from which the light is coming, and help give eyes a sense of life. The size of the catchlight has a particularly dramatic impact, but large catchlights require very large sources, or sources placed extremely close to the face. Reflectors or additional sources are sometimes used just to create catchlights in portraiture. Source: 30-Second Photography

Phocabulary: Magic Hour Sunrise and sunset, the time when the sun is closest to the horizon, the rays becoming much warmer in color than normal because we are viewing them through the denser atmospheric particulate closest to the surface of the earth, and the cool blue of the sky makes a startling juxtaposition against the warm sunlight. White clouds also act as reflectors and pick up a wide range of dramatic colors as they receive the last or first rays of sunlight.

Phocabulary: Overexposure The result of recording too much light when taking a picture, which results in a light image. In digital imaging, overexposure can usually be corrected to a certain extent by the use of image-editing software, depending upon how overexposed your image is. RAW files offer more latitude than JPEGs and TIFFs for correcting overexposure.
