Give a brief description of the movement, photographer, or term you researched. How are they significant to the history of photography (50-75 words)?



The Photo-Secession was a movement in the early 20th century that promoted photography. The movement helped people become more aware of what photography can do and raise standards of art photography. It changed the way people looked at photography since all they have seen was pictures of Royal Photographic Society. There was some controversy about what pictures to display and what was appropriate. The differences got pushed aside and they were allowed to display what they wanted, and proved a point all at the same time.





Write a short personal reaction to the movement, photographer or term you researched. What is interesting or not interesting about the work (50 – 75 words).



My reaction to this movement is very positive. I believe that photography is a way of art and art is to be expressed however someone feels it should. The movement proved that photography doesn't just go one way, but it can range from a million different images. I also think that it's awesome because they didn't even mean to change the way people thought of photography, but they did.
