The Scenic photography is a genre of photography .

The artist develops a set based on a concrete image idea, which can have its origin in historical references from art and film history, literary suggestions, dreams and events . Actors or laypeople are encouraged to play scenes in order to be able to produce photographs. Certain lighting conditions and props are used at the respective locations or in the studio, similar to a film recording for a feature film.

Manifestations

There are different forms: Scenic photographs can be found, for example, with the Berlin artist Matthias Leupold , b. 1959, who formulated his visual reviews photographically with artistic photographic works (Fahnenappell series, Berlin 1988/89, Leupold's gazebo enthusiast shots in memory of a German family paper, 1994, Die Schönheit der Frauen, 1995). Leupold also made playful use of scenic photography and improvised image constellations. The possibility of improvising is an advantage over the detailed staging in theater and feature film. Actors and photographers can react to current moods and lighting situations and deviate considerably from a preconceived concept. In some cases, the process of taking photos has something of the character of a performance . Scenic photographs are designed as single images or series of images for exhibitions and books. Other representatives of scenic photography are Jeff Wall , born in Vancouver in 1946, and James Higginson , born in Pennsylvania in 1957.

Scenic photographs can also represent the starting material for a photo film .
