Therefore, the photography is used as means of presentation of people as well as different products, ideas, places… Through this diploma paper, the author analyzes and presents the old nucleus of Šibenik through the camera lens. In order to achieve this, the elements that are essential for presenting the town through the photography are analyzed in the theoretical part of the paper-hypothetical photography, hypothetical photography syntax, photography techniques and also conjointly are approached different motives through which Šibenik is analyzed and presented in the practical part of the paper. Numerous historical monuments in Šibenik were taken as the main motives of the practical part of the paper, such as: churches, palaces, narrow streets, passages, etc. The emphasis is on the documentary photography since that branch of photography is dominant in shooting the above mentioned objects. In order to make this possible, the “story” of the town of Šibenik is presented with the theoretical elaboration of photographic aspects of a chosen “photography assignment” so that the photographs could be placed in the context of the author’s work as well as in the context of the objective presentation. The presented photographs are analyzed and as such they show how the motive approach, both creative and technical, created the message about the motive and the presented town as a whole.
