STYLE, MOTIF AND HOMEAGE
Style is a particular manner or technique by which something is done, created, or performed in a unique way. In photography, style refers to how we compose, shoot, and develop our photos.
A motif is a repeated idea or theme in the work of art. It can be used to repeat an image, sound, word, or a symbol. In photography we can use motif to repeat certain patterns or symbolise certain topics that we want to show in our work.
There are three types of motifs: Symbolic motifs, Conceptual motifs and Structural motifs
Symbolic Motifs: These motifs take the form of symbols that represent a bigger concept or theme.
Conceptual Motifs: These motifs are based on a particular concept or idea that appears repeatedly throughout a story or image
Structural: These motifs are patterns or structures that appear repeatedly throughout a story or image. An example of a structural motif is "Honeycomb Patterns"
"Honeycomb"
A homage is means showing great respect and honour to others that have helped us in the past. In photography we use it as a way of showing respect for another artist and acknowledging their work by getting inspiration from them.
