Studio portrait lighting

• It’s important for the camera to be in position ready to shoot movement and its important that the camera moves with the movement.
• Joiners give the illusion of time and space by different angles and exposure shows the illusion of time.
• Both physically and in photo shop you have to overlap some and move the pictures around to fit the spot for the joiner to come together.
• Pros of using photo shop is the pictures are digital and your not wasting a lot of film for the pictures, cons of using photo shop is you have to use the move tool to move the pictures around instead of physically doing. Pros of using physical printing is you get to move the pictures around physically, Cons of using physical printing is it cost a lot for the film and to have them developed.
• I prefer the very organized and exact because i have a bit of ocd.

This image is a picture of a hard working mother who had to sell her tires to her car in order for her seven children to eat. This image also represents the Depression and the Dust Bowl and was a popular image. This image impacted the world by showing what times where like and how they had hard times during this time period. Yes, I like this picture because it shows a lot of emotion and it tells a story. This image shows worry and sadness in the mothers face. The photographer was trying to show the viewer what the woman was feeling through her face. The way the boys are hiding in her shoulder and the look she has on her face is intriguing to me.

This image of the girl was on the national geographic cover and it was a representation of struggle of refugees everywhere. She was only known as the Afghan girl till they discovered her identity. Yes, I like the photo because her eyes tell a story. This picture shows the emotion of worry and struggle. The photographer was trying to show the viewer what its like to be and refugee and the emotion of being a refugee and the story that goes with it. Her eyes and the color of them and the story that you can see through them is what intrigues me.

This photo of the building shows the haunting terrorist attack of 9/11 it also shows how the people in the building had no escape from it. I like it because it shows what the planes did to the building also because of the emotion it expresses. It evokes the emotion of  sorrow and sadness. The photographer was trying to show  how bad the attack was and the emotions it caused lots of people to feel. The hole if the building and the fire and smoke is intriguing to me.

      

My first impression of Aaron Siskind’s work is its very abstract and he likes to shoot in black and white, he likes to blur out the background or make it dark. He achieves abstraction by getting really close to the subject and blurring out the background or he uses contrast. Changing visual perspective, repetition, and composition are some of the elements Siskind uses and they are important to his work because it helps him achieve abstraction. I can change visual perspective and shoot in black and white and use some of the same elements he used in his work to achieve similar results.
