Top 100 Photographs Picture 1

1. I liked the picture of the Beatles having a a pillow fight because it shows the inside peak on an iconic band that i happen to be fortunate enough to grow up listening to.
2. Originally Harry Benson didn't what to photograph the Beatles because he saw himself as a serious journalist and though that he didn't what to get cut up in a rock 'n roll story. However after watching the Beatles play he changed his mind. As he got to see the Beatles life on tour he took the picture of them having a pillow fight such a childish thing for soon to be legend to do. 
3. I learned that when Harry Benson was photographing the Beatles they were the number one band in America.

"For W’s December/January Art Issue, the magazine collaborated with artist Yayoi Kusama to create this iconic cover image depicting George Clooney. The visually arresting image is the highlight of the cover story, for which five leading female artists were invited to create interpretive portraits of the actor. Clooney wears a suit painted by Kusama with her signature polka dots and stands against a polka-dotted backdrop. Planned to coincide with the opening of an exhibition of new work by Kusama at David Zwirner Gallery, the cover makes a powerful reference to the artist’s iconic self-portraits."

I like the photos however I would say its kinda bugs my eyes and is hard to read because of the polka-dots and how it contrasts to the red lettering it would have been easier to read if they put red lettering on a black back ground more is not always better. 

the artist is implying that there is a big day coming up for someone by the formality of the photo Gorge Clooney is wearing a suit which also implies that a formal event is coming up.

1. Image based 
2. Illusion based 
3. Type based 
4. Concept based 

An image based magnetize cover is a simple magazine cover normally with one main subject. The illusion based magnetize covers are look 3D and look hand drawn more then printed. Type based magnetizes are more words then picture and are shocking in what they say. Concept based magnetizes covers are very blunt on what there point is and what there trying to convey.

The relationship between words and picture is very important if one is lacking it can effect the other however if one is simple but good and the other one is very extravagant they don't make since together because they don't reflect each other. 

Self Portrait

 1. Experiment with Lighting

2. Alter Your Perspective

3. Shoot Candidly

Environmental portraits 

I like this photo because the photographer used a fairly simple back ground and just used early simple objects to display a very obvious message.

I like this photo because it looks like the violin is part of her face.

Photography self portraits 

I like this picture because it looks like a real cloud.

I picked this picture because it is relatable because I have felt this way before.

Casual portraits

American Soldier

1. I think the most powerful image is "Down and Dirty"  encase it displays that in a tie off need you turn to someone and in this case it was God.
2. The images allow the reader to visualize what the people in the story is going though.
3. They tell about thing that you can infer from the picture but art in the picture allowing the reader to have a fiscal image and a mental image.
