How do you label what medium you used, if the project is a photo?

i'm working on my portfolio for college and I really need to know what medium a photograph uses..





I don't know if just saying I used a camara is alright...

How do you label what medium you used, if the project is a photo?
The camera is NOT the medium. That's what you used to make the photograph, and the photograph is the object, but the MEDIUM is what it's "made of".





b%26amp;w print made in the darkroom: gelatin silver print


b%26amp;w print made at a commercial lab: chromogenic print





color print made in the darkroom or at a commericial lab: chromogenic print





Digital print: digital inkjet print or digital laser print
Reply:It depends on how detailed you are wanting to go. If you just want to show the difference between a painting and a photo, just label them accordingly. If you are trying to show the differences between photographs you can always just say, 'digital print' or 'b%26amp;w/colour film print'





Although if you want to reference your photographs properly then there is a system to use.





Your Name,


Tiitle, Year of completion.





Dimensions,


Medium,





When referencing you images properly like this, you should also try and be as presice as you can be about you images. If it is a hand-printed black and white image on fiber-based paper, list it as a Silver Gelatin Print, many colour prints from negatives are referenced C-Prints. If you have any digital prints label them as Digital Inkjet Prints





Anyway, I wouldn't worry too much about it. They'll be more interested in the content of the work rather than how it's described. You can always learn how to do that when you get into college.
Reply:just saying photography should be good enough unless you are doing it with something strange.
Reply:photography
Reply:typically people will put two sometimes three things.





1.) type of camera used


2.) type of film


and sometimes.... 3.) any special processing techniques used.





1 and 2 should suffice. I only ever use 3 if I am really proud of a trick I used while developing.
