Peran Peran Elemen Fotografi sebagai Bahasa Visual: Pemahaman Teknis dan Artistik

Abstract

The grammar of photography can be defined as the basic set of elements that form the technical and visual foundation for creating photographic imagery. These elements include the photo frame, aperture, shutter speed, and the physical medium used. Just like in written literacy that uses vocabulary, grammar, and syntax, photography also has fundamental components such as exposure, composition, aperture, shutter speed, and framing. The focus of the issue in this article is how these elements can be effectively combined to convey messages, emotions and stories through images.

The aim of this research is to outline the importance of understanding the elements of photographic grammar in creating a strong visual narrative. The methods used include an analysis of concepts and practices in photography, emphasizing the importance of subject, content, and form. The results of this study show that by understanding how to organize elements such as picture plan, vantage point, and juxtaposition, photographers can produce meaningful and communicative photos.
