Aaron Siskind -
The photographer, Aaron Siskind, predominantly uses black and whilst studying the harshness of lines.
The flaking paintwork featured in many of his works reflects the idea of the breaking foundations of society and to me has connotations of sorrow.

Walker Evans -
The photographer, Walker Evans, also works in black and white but in comparison to Aaron Siskind his works feature portraits as well as lines. I feel that Evans' photographs capture character and also depth and the tonal qualities of working in a black and white medium.

Glossary Definitions 2 -
Glossary of Terms -
Lines:
Horizontal - A line that follows the horizon.
Vertical - A line that travels either up or down.
Diagonal - A line that cuts across an image in a straight line that is neither vertical nor horizontal.
Curving - A line that flows fluidly not in a straight line.
Converging - Two or more lines that meet at the same point.
Leading - A line that leads to a specific point which the eye is intended to notice.
Colour:
Colour - one or multiple lights that can be separated into a spectrum/ rainbow.
Saturation - the intensity or dominance of the hue in the colour.
Muted Colour - a dulled colour made by adding white or black to the original hue.
Analogous Colour - three colours next to each other on the colour wheel with one being the dominant eg. the dominant being a primary or secondary colour with the ones on either side forming the analogous colours.
Complementary Colour - Colours opposite on the colour wheel that compliment each other.
Pattern:
Pattern - A repeated decorative design.
Texture:
Texture - The feel, appearance or consistency of a surface or a substance.
Form:
Form - A three dimensional shape/ the visible shape or configuration of something.
(in 2D an illusion of form can be created using tone and perspective).
Tone:
Tone - Tone refers to the overall lightness or darkness of an image. Tone is created by the way in which light falls upon a 3D object.
Gamut - Range in reference to tone.
Highlight - The area which is most lit up by the light on the subject.
Lowlight - The area which is darkest from the light not reaching it.
Transitional Tone - The tone in-between a highlight and a shadow(the middle value).
Core Shadow Tone - The shadow on the low lit area of the subject.
Cast Shadow - The shadow cast by the object.
Motion:
Motion - The action or process of moving or being moved.
Joiners:
Joiners - Panography, or joiners, is a photographic technique in which one picture is assembled from several overlapping images.
Portraiture:
Portrait - A painting, drawing, photograph often focusing on an individual.
Portraiture - The art of painting or taking photographs.
Other:
Iso - International Standards Organisation

300 PPI - Pixels Per Inch. 300 used for print.
72 PPI - Pixels Per Inch. 72 used for websites and online.
DPI - Dots Per Inch
Whitebalance - The colour balance on a digital camera.
