Influential People

Photographers will be influenced by other photographers for example Henri Cartier-Bresson, Richard Avedon, and Martin Munkacsi were three very influential people. Cartier-Bresson was a man that was considered the father of photojournalism. He covered many of the world biggest events from the Spanish Civil War to the French uprisings in 1968. Richard Avedon was an American fashion and portrait photographer. He started of working as a photographer for the Merchant Marines, taking identification photos. Munkacsi was a newspaper writer and photographer in Hungary, specializing in sports. 

Cartier-Bresson was educated in Paris he developed an early love for literature and the arts. Art was always a part of him like if it was part of his DNA. His grandfather and uncle both did a career containing art. It was just in his blood. Africa pushed him to the direction of photography. When he returned to France he bought a 35mm, a camera that helped define his photography. By the mid 1930s his work was shown in exhibits in Mexico, New York, and Madrid. Fatima Garibay

Simplifying and Importing



The photo demonstrates  the background rule of composition, because the background doesn't distract your eyes from the subject , so it has a plain background on purpose. The photo also shows an element of art, because the recycling bin is a cylinder shape . The difference is the composition rule of background is more like a rule you have to follow and shapes in elements of art is more like a thing that just happens in the picture.

Cropping for better composition #2

Before


After


The cropped photo illustrates the rule of balancing elements in composition, because it is placing your main subject off-centre, balancing the weight of the subject, and including another object of lesser importance to fill the space.

photo booth





The effects i used are black and white, glow, thermal camera, sepia, and pop art. I used these effects because i really liked how they make me look. I first used black and white because i wanted to see how i looked without color. Than i used glow because I have never used that effect before. After that i used thermal camera because it changed the backround's color. Also I used sepia because because I liked the color it reminds me of sand. Finally i used pop art because it gave me four different colors to my head .

Ansel Adams

Ansel Adams is significant because he made it possible to have different shades of black, white, and grey. He received many awards and people believe he made photogaphy in America popular. In 1916 he convinced his parents into taking a vacation to Yosemite National Park he took his first pictures there and instanly loved it there and never stopped loving it til he died. During his decade long carrier people crowned him as one of the best photographers of all time. But it was never that good for him. in his early life his family had financial problems. He moved schools a lot. He used to look at the under developed landscapes near his home. Than Adam found the love of his life Yosemite National Park. Yosemite probably would have still closed if Adam was alive because he was just a photographer he can't stop the government from closing down anything he doesn't have the power.

The Skylight

when I stepped under the skylight the light on the clothes we were wearing seemed to change. For example a pink shirt was just normal pink until I stepped under the light the color of the pink shirt turned really bright pink. You could see our faces really clearly under that light. And thats what I saw under the skylight.
