Nov. 18 2015 Experience

It was very fun taking photos of my friend at different angles. I enjoyed it because there was a distinct view on every picture. On one you could see more of a shadow because of the sun hitting. On another you could see it clearly from the front. And on another you saw a side view and the persons characteristics from the side. I also took on the door reflection which also made it more fun; discovering different ways to take pictures.

He did unusual photography techniques that had to do with photo journalism and fashion photography, He was ranked 25th on professional photography out of 100 influential photographers.

He is most remembered for his photogenic photographs on Life Magazine. And for being the director of the film Shaft. During the time in which he attended school there was still a lot of segregation. Blacks were not allowed to do much and this is why he insisted in showing the world what was happening. He had many traumatic events happen in his life, for example being 14 years old and losing his mother. It was very unfortunate and he decided he wanted to change this cycle and become something he loved and would show the world these events.

He was determined to show the world that photography was a way to express art. He joined a Camera Club, then left it to take photos on his own. He spent his life taking many photos and had dreamed of having his own gallery. Towards the end of his life he spent it actually working on the many galleries he had and showed his work to the people. I chose this picture because out of he many he had this is the one that popped out the most.

Dorothea Lange

His photography contained body genes, body of work, and subjects throughout these countries.  He made silent films of day-to-day life in New York City. I chose this picture because most of his pictures consisted of body parts, adults and certain subjects in that era. So this is one of the different pictures I found.
