Pictorialism

Pictorialism was aesthetic and thus different from documentary or realistic photography. The talent of a photographer combined with the understanding of an artist to produce photographs similar to paintings. To those attempting to achieve the most descriptive images, the pictorial photograph was outrageous--sharpness and clarity were deliberately avoided. Slightly out of focus images seemed to duplicate human vision by softening hard lines. Special camera lenses, developing techniques, and the rich tones of platinum prints allowed the creation of soft tranquil quality in the images.
