Final Exam review

Rules of Photography

1. Rule of thirds- this is were you put the focus of your picture to the top left, bottom left, or top right, bottom left.
2. Balancing elements- making a picture symmetrical 
3. Leading lines- lines that lead to the main topic of the picture 
4. Symmetry and patterns- creating patterns in  your picture t enhance the topic 
5. Viewpoint- placing your self in  good position to get the hole picture.
6. Background- making sure your background is not distracting 
7. Create death- positioning your camera so that it looks like you could really walk into the picuture.
8. Framing-making your hole picture fit into an area that is symmetrical and not having anything sick out into the non-visible part of your picture.
9. Cropping- sitting your picture appropriately so it enhances the picture and not so that it takes things away.
10. Mergers and avoiding them- not having different things in you picture come together making the focal point of the picture confusing.

Fashion Photography

1.  They got ride of marks such as pimples, made the neck smaller, made the eyes bigger, they made her hair curly and they made it bigger, the made her jaw line more pronounced and finally they made her neck longer.

Questions:

1. No because it make people in todays world want to look like that person but they can't because its not fiscally possible.
2.  No its just all wrong everyones beautiful in there own way but sadly our society has made it were you have to be skinny or tan or what ever that makes you "beautiful" to be excepted in society.
3. I think make up is ok but personally implants and photoshop are both just wrong I just want people to be happy with them selfs.
4. Fashion photography is aimed towards making people "beautiful" while photojournalism is aimed toward telling a story.
5. Photography is most of the time closely related to reality and it captures a moment in time or something we are presenting; however it can be distorted and changed by photoshop or other editing programs 
6. I think you showed us these videos because your want us to realize that not everything you see is true and to make us realize that companies will do anything to make there product more appealing.
7. I think the reason that there are no videos of companies photoshopping men to look better is because is society women use products to "make them look prettier" and because if guys are imperfect then it just adds to there carter and its still socially acceptable but for women to be "imperfect" is not ok and there life should be there whole world witch is just wrong.

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

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.

1. I was amazed how committed that Nick was to his phtographyy. that he would stay in the plans of Africa a pretty harsh environment. I was also amazed by how close he could get to these huge terrifying animals. 
2. 
   

3. This is my favorite picture by Nick Brandt because of the lighting use ad also because of how dark the picture its such a drag setting and you can really feel that when you look at the picture.

4. The rule of thirds is the most apparent which is a rule that state you should not have things center in your picture you should have them little to the right or left and up or down on one of thought sides.

5.  The camera he used a Pentax 6II with only two fixed lenses this is important because this allows us to know how to recreate some of Nick Brandts art 

6. He took these picture so he could raze harness of poaching 

7. His hope that the pictures that he took could help prevent poaching of the wile life in Africa

1. We could do the theme of nature such as trees and natural land formations. 
2. We should be able to use cameras and phones because they both have there advantages of what they can and can't do. 
3. I would put the mural towards the entrance of the campus so that everybody could see it when the walked in.

Great Black and White Photographers Part 3

1. The thing that caught my eye about Roy DeCarava work is the simplicity of it and how buy just the placement and the composer of the image he can give the viewer such a powerful message.  

1. I see a man playing piano with a sad look and posture yet he still is engrossed in the keys of the piano.
2.  I smell of polished wood of the piano. A sower smell but yet some how pleasant in a unique way.
3.  I hear the man playing the piano a sad tune on of someone that has just experienced great loss.
4.  I taste cool air as if a cold front had just come in and a bitter taste in my mouth of death.
5.  I feel sad and solemn as if it was a funeral and he was playing the music in the background to honor the person that died.

1.  I sea a man hitting drumsticks on a table imagining that it is a drum if only e could preform
2. I smell wood from the drumsticks an earthly smell and the aroma of a dry-cleaned suit a soapy smell but refreshing like the smell of close that can right out of the wash.
3. I hear the mans tap tap tap of his drumsticks against the wood and the commotion of the show cure in the back ground.
4. I taste the worm air as if dreams were being fulfilled as if a wait was lifted the wait of feeling success and the accomplishment of discovering what life is all about.
5. I feel happy for the man in the picture that he has accomplished his dreams of being a stare on the big screen. I also feel thankful for the man empathetic turds the fact that he has had such a unique opritunity to preform before thousands of people.

Aperture, Shutter Speed and IOS

Picture with f/2.8



Picture with f/32

1. The eye is easily related to aperture.
2.  The smaller the aperture the blurrier the back ground the higher the aperture the more focused the back ground.
3. If you have a high aperture then you can give the appearance of depth or 3D in the picture but if you have a low aperture then you can give the appearance of close up 2D affect.

 High shutter speed 

 Low shutter speed

1.  1/500 second
2. 1/600 second

1. The three setting relating to shutter speed are aperture priority mode, shutter priority mode, and it must be on manual mode.

1. The advantages of sooting in a higher ISO for a football game or something with action in it is that you can capture the action as its happening without having blur.
2. However you should use low ISO in a low light situation so that you don't have a fuzzy picture.
3. You want to use a high ISO when your capturing a fragment of an action when there is plenty of light.

1. Aperture: 2.8, 4, 8, 11, 16, and 22.
2. Shutter speed: 1, 1/60, and 1/4000
