The Great Depression Photo Analysis
This photo is a newspaper from the stock market crash of 1929, when the Great Depression started. On October 29 of 1929, the most shares in
history were traded, and billions of dollars were lost. While this was not the sole cause of the Great Depression, it was a key factor of the Depression.
By 1933, about 30 percent of the workforce was unemployed because of this. The Great Depression is very relevant to this exhibit because if more
than 15 million americans had lost their jobs, then they probably couldn't afford to have a maid. Even if the whites were employed, some people's
incomes were cut and it would be harder to have a maid. This meant that more Domestic Workers were out of jobs and they then will have trouble

Importance of Photography
Photography I. Introduction: Society is generally inclined to consider innovative concepts as being something extraordinary and most of its members
come to shape their personalities and their lives as a whole on account of these respective innovations. Photography is probably one of the most
illustrating innovations that took place across time, especially when considering the effect that it had on people at the time when it was invented.
While individuals previously considered that paintings were able to capture images in all of their greatness, science proved that photography was even
more effective in this field. The internet stands as evidence that photography has come to be one of the most influential media concepts in society,
considering the wide variety of photographs and photography–related websites that can currently be accessed by anyone using the media device. II.

career if you enjoy presenting visually, and commutative. The salary range of a photographer can be from $10,000 to $30,000 a year. There are a
number of universities that offer diplomas in photography. Some offer it as a three year integrated course and subsidiary subject. A list of colleges that
offer this are:

Photography is a good career if you can communicate in visual terms, and can satisfy your clients to their individual needs.To be a photographer, you
must have technical and creativity knowledge, the field of photography is constantly changing with the advancement of technology. Photography is
usually art, sometimes craft, or even just a grabbed image. The fact that photography uses technology that has recently developed more than other
forms of art can be very confusing but the fact is, photography comes from an image that is made, not taken. The ending result to an image can often
invoke an emotional response, and can be very pleasing to the eye. A photographer captures memorable images for a lifetime. Elements of a camera

Essay about Photography
The Test of Time: The Power of the Photograph
What is a photograph? The simplicity of taking a photograph leads many to ponder its artistic value. Yet, it is undeniable that there are some photos
that cause an emotional reaction deeper than simply observing a recorded point in time. Surely, there are photographs that cause more reaction than
some modern art pieces. There seems to be two types of photographs. The first classification is the 'time capture' photo – an image with the sole
purpose of recording a particular event or point in time. The second nature of a photo carries a 'deeper meaning,' which has the ability to change the
observer's mood and cause a reaction. But what distinguishes these two varieties? There are a...show more content...
There is clearly an artistic value to this image – it is taken at the location of a massacre of over 200 members of the Great Sioux Nation. However, did
Elliot Erwitt intend a 'deeper meaning' for this photograph? In an interview recorded on his official website, Erwitt declares, "If it turns out to be
entertaining what I do, I'm very pleased. But it's not conscious." It seems that Erwitt claims to not possess artistic intent in his photographs.
However, it is clear that he simply boasts an unconscious artistic eye. It is obvious that the photograph of this church on hallowed ground falls in
the 'deeper meaning' category. The second Elliot Erwitt photo is taken from his official webpage. It too is captured in black and white. The photo,
shown in Figure 2 was taken in France and depicts a man and child riding a bicycle down a road lined with trees. This seems to be a 'time capture'
photo; this particular event can never be perfectly replicated again. Despite the category in which this photo clearly falls into, it is undoubtedly still art
– the setting is too perfect to be unintentional. However, according to Erwitt in his interview, unintentional is exactly the correct word. Erwitt states, "I
take pictures of anything that interests me as I walk around with my camera." This means that many of his photos are taken on a whim; the right place
at the right time. In this case it is the viewer who makes the distinction between

The Relationship of Photographs, History, and Memory
Abstract: This essay reflects on the relationship of photographs, history, and memory based on a found and mutilated photo album. Photographs provide
opportunities for disrupting and restructuring history with their attraction to memory; they privilege the subjective, creative power of the personal
explanation and provide an emotional and even ideological grounding for memory. Photographs as manifestations of memory assist in the process of
understanding the present.
As this century fades into the past it is worth remembering that its course––in contrast to earlier times––has been chronicled by a visual narrative that
relies on the attraction of photographs as means of storing...show more content...
The violent markings of the photo album and its images, however, produce an equally powerful message that jars the memory as it disrupts and distorts
the photographic chronicle of her life and that of her family and friends. The result is a complex visual experience that addresses the use of images in
producing knowledge and making history.
Photographs are re–collections of the past. This essay is about photography, memory, and history and addresses therelationship between photographic
images and the need to remember; it is based on the notion that seeing is a prelude to historical knowledge and that understanding the past relies on the
ability to imagine. At the same time, the role of thought and imagination in the production of society––as reflected in the earlier work of Louis
Althusser (1970), Maurice Godelier (1984) and perhaps more significantly, Cornelis Castoriadis (1975), suggests yet another role for photography in the
construction of a social and cultural reality. Photographs in capitalist societies contribute to the production of information and participate in the
surveillance of the environment where their subjective and objective qualities are applied to the private uses of photographic images in the
perpetuation of memory.
Photographs are also manifestations of time and records of experience. Consequently, writings on photographic theory are filled with references to
representations of the past. Roland Barthes (1981, 76), for instance,

War Photography Essay
War has always been an unfortunate part of our society and civilization. War will sadly and undoubtedly be with us as long as we exist. However, the
portrayal of war for many centuries gave a sense of patriotism and romanticism. Then the invention of the camera changed how humanity perceived war
in the late to mid 19th century. And all of a sudden, images ofwar became of shear violence and destruction. The violence in these images would play a
significant part in the social and political standpoints of war in our nation. During the pre–Civil War era, the technology ofphotography was rare or still
in development. All renderings of war were either in paintings or in literature. Since artists were the only people capable of creating...show more

Writers following the Civil War wrote novels in response to the violence. They depicted that the future of war would be evil, apocalyptic, and
destructive on a massive scale. Mark Twain was one of the writers who discussed this kind of scenario in one of his novels. "'In that explosion all our
noble civilization–factories went up in the air and disappeared from the earth...twenty–five thousand men lay dead around us'" (Franklin 814). The
images that showed all of the dead and the destruction, no doubt caused people to believe that the rise in industrialism would lead to more mass
destruction. Many writers depicted in their novels, landscapes of gray, craters, and death. It was as if these writers were warning us, that if we as a
society don't industrialize properly and responsibly, that the future of our planet would be just like the landscape described by these writers. They
saw this rise in technology as a doom to civilization. However, the warnings of these writers disgracefully became reality. Much of Europe a few
decades later during WW1, had landscapes that were gray, cratered, and full of dead bodies. A great change came during WW1 and WW2. War
images were not the only way war was portrayed, but motion pictures also came along. The motion pictures gave a whole new perspective on war to
the American people. Thus, by seeing this influence, many powerful leaders saw an advantage. They saw, "the tremendous potential of movies for

Memorable Family Moments Caught by Photography
Family photographs have enabled me to develop a way to keep my family with me all the time, even when they are really not there. These pictures
of my family represent a wide variety of importance and emotions in my life. Many of them serves as a link to my home life, since I am away at
college without my family I allow their pictures to be decorations (memoirs) in my apartment. Some of them mean more than others, some are recent,
and others come from my childhood. A picture I have framed on the center wall in my apartment is of my family on vacation this summer; it depicts
our true "selves" and exemplifies how much we truly love one another. I am...show more content...
These are usually the times where they snap pictures of their love ones to create memories of happy, quality times with one another, especially if these
times are not easy to come across. On my family trips and on the family trips of others the idea of being united and having fun together is exemplified
through these informal photographs we take. In an article by Judith Williamson called "Family, Education,Photography", she discusses how "with the
informal arrives a new element, never so highly developed as in contemporary family photography: the necessity of 'fun'"(339). Families in turn can
show the fun they have with one another in these pictures of their vacation and other informal, happy times with one another. Judith Williamson's
article also has several other important viewpoints on family photography and how it has changed over the years. She states that "in earlier family
images it seemed enough for the family members to be presented to the camera, to be externally documented; but now this is not enough, and internal
states of constant delight are to be revealed on film"(339). Today, the element of displaying the true "self" in pictures gives more meaning to the photos
and how we in turn value them. When photography was first developed only the upper class families could afford these portraits and thus the norm for

An Essay On Landscape Photography
Landscape Photography
You can follow some rules for getting beautiful image. For Landscape Photography following the techniques, you will hold the perfect moment and get
vivid pictures. Thus, you will be able to capture some amazing beauty that you see.
Learn More About Landscape Photography
Reading the article, you will learn more about Landscape Photography. Here are given some techniques to follow.
1. Depth of field
Many landscape photographers desire an image which appears sharp throughout the scene, so that elements of foreground interest, such as a rock in a
lake, look just as sharp as the distant horizon. This can be achieved relatively easily using the principles of depth of field whereby the smaller an
aperture you use, such as f/22, the greater the area both before and beyond the point of focus also...show more content...
Capture Movement
Most people think about landscapes they think of calm, serene and passive environments – however landscapes are rarely completely still and to
convey this movement in an image will add drama, mood and create a point of interest. Wind in trees, waves on a beach, water flowing over a
waterfall, birds flying over head, moving clouds make image nice.
Capturing this movement generally means you need to look at a longer shutter speed. This means more light hitting your sensor which will mean you
need to either go for a small Aperture, use some sort of a filter or even shoot at the start or end of the day when there is less light.
8. Work with the Weather
A scene can change dramatically depending upon the weather at any given moment. So, choosing the right time to shoot is of real importance. An
overcast day threatening to rain might provide you with a much better opportunity to create an image with real mood and ominous overtones. Look for
storms, wind, mist, dramatic clouds, sun shining through dark skies, rainbows, sunsets and sunrises etc and work with these variations in the weather
rather than just waiting for the next sunny blue sky

Photography Essay : My Passion For Photography
My passion for photography began in High School, from the moment I walked into Photography 1, I was in love. I seemed to have a good eye when
it came to landscape and animal photography, after hours of taking photos I would then spend hours in the dark room developing. For me, photography
has been no more than just a hobby. I admire all professional photographers, especially those who specialize in newborn photography, because I envy
them. I found Jessica Kennedy, of Jessica Rachel Photography, on Facebook. Her style and ability to take beautiful photographs captured my eye
instantly. I did, what most people do, and followed her. I am always amazed when her pictures display on my newsfeed, especially the newborns, I just
can't help but look. Kennedy's loved for photography started with an obsession with her taking pictures of her children and turned to photography as a
hobby. Then with a gifted DSLR (Digital Single–Lens Reflex) camera she started researching classes in her area. She states "from there is snowballed",
taking any opportunity that came along to gain hands on experience. She started her business in 2011, and then in 2016 her LLC (Limited Liability
Company) business began. She started by advertising through Facebook and 'word of mouth'. She feels social media is the easiest way to connect
with clients, without the burden of cost. Kennedy also partners with her local OBGYN clinic and Stork Vision ( a pregnancy ultrasound office), by

Descriptive Essay On My Family Picture
My family picture includes my Mom, Dad, younger sister, dog and myself. In the drawing, my younger sister is reading outside under a tree in our
backyard. My sister enjoys having time to herself reading or listening to music over socializing at get–togethers. Likewise, my mom is gardening in the
backyard in the picture. She enjoys spending time outdoors and caring for the garden to make our backyard look beautiful with the colourful
plants and flowers. In my picture, my dog is located in the backyard with my Mom and sister. My dog loves spending time outside playing and
prefers to have company then be left alone. In the picture, my Dad is taking a photo of a waterfall in Costa Rica during a recent vacation. My Dad
does not enjoy staying in one place for an extended period of time and prefers to be out instead of relaxing on the weekends. He does photography as
a hobby and will search out to find picturesque locations to set up his camera equipment and wait for the perfect lighting for a picture. In the family
picture, I am in the kitchen, which overlooks the backyard, baking banana bread. Similar to my sister, I prefer spending the time to myself instead of
socializing at get–togethers.

Capturing a Moment with Photography
What can a picture really say? Photography can capture moments in time that will always hold a special place in one's heart allowing them to remember
the emotion they felt during that time. Picture manipulations have been around for centuries and still exist today. In a popular picture from 1936,
Dorothea Lange displays two forms of manipulation. She removed something so little, which represents so much by a method called technical
retouching. It changed the whole emotion of the picture. She also stage–managed her photo's to hide very important details that would have changed
the whole effect of the photo. Modern manipulations exist by Photoshop and could be more effective than ever before. "Long before Photoshop and
other image–editing tools, artists, photographers, and composers were manipulating images. We still live in a culture and world where we want to
assume that cameras provide us with an objective truth" (When Images "Lie", 2011). Trying to convey a message can be difficult, but with a little
altering the message the photographer is trying to portray can become clearer to the viewer. Trying to covey a message through a picture can be
extremely difficult because not everyone sees the vision of the photographer. Stage–managing is when you set up a setting in a way that delivers an
illusion for the viewer to perceive. Photographers usually do this when they want to put emphasis on a certain subject. Lange Stage–managed her most

You should avoid blazing sunshine at noon because it would make your photos become too shine. When taking photo outside, if the angle of sight is
against the sunlight, you can use the flash. You also can use a dedicated light to light up some dark area caused by sunlight such as: eye socket, neck,
and so on. Do not let the light from the back get all the attention of the main character. When talking photograph at night, pay attention to the distance
between the flash and the subject. If it is too dark, use more lights.
Next, take many shot at the same sight in order to choose later. Taking many shot helps you to improve your skill and increase the chances of having
beautiful photos. While you taking photos, many mistakes may happen. We do not want our beautiful photographs depreciate because of those small
mistakes. So take many shot at each sight and pick out the most beautiful one.
Then, hold you camera steadily. Some people often shake their hands while taking photo so the photo will be blurred and dim. And of course, that
photo will be useless. Try to keep your hands and your feet steadily when taking photograph. You can use a table tripod or any other fulcrums to help
you hold the camera. In short, try to hold the camera steadily to make the most beautiful photographs.
Finally, use editing photos software. One of the most popular editing photos software today is Photoshop. With Photoshop, you can make your photos

instructions at everyone; they just kept walking through the doors.
The young girls walked into change room 8. It was huge with ballet costumes on hangers.
There were lights around the mirrors just like in the movies. The little girls felt very glamorous.
They were told to sit on the ground and wait until Marie, the lady that would be looking after and helping them get into their costumes, came.
The young girls sat and waited patiently, giggling excitedly about which costumes they would get to wear.
All of sudden like a gust of wind the door flung open and in came the screaming lady with red curly hair and a big noise.
All the young girls gasped. Marie as she was called stood over all the girls and looked down on them.

Photography : Reflections Of The Past Essay
Photography: Reflections of the Past
Photography has taken over the modern world. On every screen, on every wall, on every building is most likely a picture that has been taken and
processed. Photography has been around since the 1800's and has opened an immense world with endless possibilities. Photography was the gateway to
videography which has become a vast part of many cultures. Not only does photography have a history of its own, it is also a visual record of
history. It has recorded many of the world 's greatest milestones and several personal ones as well. Photography allows people to look back at a
moment and reflect. Photography is the art of taking and processing photographs, which ultimately allows people to look back and reflect on a moment.
The idea of displaying an image and capturing it dates back almost 2000 years ago; it was known to the Chinese and the Greeks. The camera obscura
was an empty box with a hole on one end where objects outside of the hole were displayed on the other wall. Artist could then trace the objects thereby
preserving the image. Although it is not fully mechanical and the image is only as good as the artist, it laid the foundation for many other cameras to
come. ("History of Photography")
The Daguerreotype was one of the first reasonable cameras. It was invented by Louis–Jacques–Mande Daguerre. Daguerre was a French romantic

The sweeping vista stretches out before me, offering a delightful study in contrasts, mountain, lake, sky, and desert, a feast for the eyes and soul. Not
just the stark beauty, I feel the serenity and isolation of this place. Time seems frozen as I look out over this sun–drenched panorama that stretches for
miles. My perch atop the sand dunes is nearly perfect for drinking it all in. The tranquility is almost palpable, like a hug. This impression is heightened
by the warm desert air that embraces my skin. There is no wind to disturb the surface of the shimmering turquoise lake, busying itself with reflecting
brilliant desert sunlight. The lake's edges nestle against buff–colored sandy shores. How smart was Nature to choose this sumptuous pallet for this time
and place, muted beige and stunning aquamarine, to place them side–by–side in this solitary landscape with a faithful mountain standing guard nearby?
I wonder about the water's temperature. If I dip in my hand, will the water be cool and invigorating? Or warm and welcoming instead? I wonder about
the water's journey that brought it to rest in this lake. Did this liquid jewel start out as snow high atop the distant Andes peaks, to end up here refreshing
the silent desert floor? The early afternoon sunlight bounces off the sun–dappled lake surface. Beyond the lake's distant shore, a chocolate–colored
mountain rises from the desert floor pushing its powdered sugared peaks into the cobalt sky.

The Power of Photography Essay
Have you ever taken a picture or been looking through a photo album and felt a sudden rush of emotion? Do you wonder what caused that emotion?
Many find themselves captivated by a photograph and overwhelmed by the emotions that the photograph arouses. Believe it or not the arousal of
emotion from those photographs was not caused by the content of the picture but by certain elements within the photograph. When a photograph is
viewed it is not only the subject that triggers the overwhelming emotional response, it is the length of time that the film was exposed to sunlight, the
way lighting is used and played with, and the strong detail of colors or lack thereof. While many believe that the subject acts as the primary stimuli to
emotions, the...show more content...
Lastly, a huge component to a photograph that aids in arousing emotion is color, bringing out different emotions whether color is present or not.
When talking about emotion it seems a fairly simple topic and immediately "feeling" words come to mind; sad, happy, and confused. These are basic
emotions and easy to understand. What isn't so simple about emotions is their process and how they form and work. Emotions are reactions to
sensory information like sight, smell, taste, touch and sound (Tracing Emotion's Pathways 94). However, it is not that simple; an emotional reaction
or response is made aware of and understood by a part of the brain called the sensory cortex. These emotional responses or reactions to sensory stimuli
are processed by a part of the brain called the amygdala (What's An Emotion). The amygdala is a huge asset to the cognitive factors of emotions
because in processing emotions you become able to understand, recognize, and control them. So then how do emotions evoke a physiological reaction
such as tearing up when one feels sad, laughing with joy, and trembling with fear? These physiological reactions that one may experience come from
the autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system is, "a collection of fibers that extend throughout

As I became increasingly fascinated with photography, a burning passion became to increase inside of me. The need to take photographs was
captivating; not only was it for a grade, but an escape I used to drown my feelings. Photography was now becoming a way of expressing myself.
Excitement rushed through my veins as the teacher would announce my name for the best photo of the week; an unforgettable feeling that would
fulfill my ambition and made me feel virtuoso. After the end of the first semester, I began to feel as if a transformation begun inside of me. A
transformation that began as a passion and turned into an obsession. Everywhere I saw I could see all the plain and ordinary things or objects of
everyday life, but suddenly they became a whole new world; a spellbinding sensation that would make me fathom the double meaning of life. For
example, hands are not much of importance to a person with no artistic view, but a photographer may view hands as aging, a sign of unity, caring,
loving, or cry for help.
Determination is the key to fame or an accomplished goal. As stated, winning photo of the week was an enormous accomplishment for me being

The Great Depression Photo Analysis

  • 1. The Great Depression Photo Analysis This photo is a newspaper from the stock market crash of 1929, when the Great Depression started. On October 29 of 1929, the most shares in history were traded, and billions of dollars were lost. While this was not the sole cause of the Great Depression, it was a key factor of the Depression. By 1933, about 30 percent of the workforce was unemployed because of this. The Great Depression is very relevant to this exhibit because if more than 15 million americans had lost their jobs, then they probably couldn't afford to have a maid. Even if the whites were employed, some people's incomes were cut and it would be harder to have a maid. This meant that more Domestic Workers were out of jobs and they then will have trouble fending for themselves Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 2. Importance of Photography Photography I. Introduction: Society is generally inclined to consider innovative concepts as being something extraordinary and most of its members come to shape their personalities and their lives as a whole on account of these respective innovations. Photography is probably one of the most illustrating innovations that took place across time, especially when considering the effect that it had on people at the time when it was invented. While individuals previously considered that paintings were able to capture images in all of their greatness, science proved that photography was even more effective in this field. The internet stands as evidence that photography has come to be one of the most influential media concepts in society, considering the wide variety of photographs and photography–related websites that can currently be accessed by anyone using the media device. II. Cameras, Photographs, & Color for Everyone A. What is photography and what do we need in order to perform it? 1. The advent of the film camera for the average consumer In order to accurately understand the concept of photography and how it came to influence the lives of individuals in the contemporary society one first needs to understand how photography evolved from being accessible to a small group of individuals to being accessible to anyone who could afford a cheap camera. The emergence of the 35mm film camera had a strong effect on how people perceived photography, as it made it possible for Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 3. Many people choose photography as a career because photos can amaze, shock, or inform if presented in the right manner. Photography is a good career if you enjoy presenting visually, and commutative. The salary range of a photographer can be from $10,000 to $30,000 a year. There are a number of universities that offer diplomas in photography. Some offer it as a three year integrated course and subsidiary subject. A list of colleges that offer this are: в—ЏUtkal University в—ЏOrissaPune University в—ЏFergusson college Photography is a good career if you can communicate in visual terms, and can satisfy your clients to their individual needs.To be a photographer, you must have technical and creativity knowledge, the field of photography is constantly changing with the advancement of technology. Photography is usually art, sometimes craft, or even just a grabbed image. The fact that photography uses technology that has recently developed more than other forms of art can be very confusing but the fact is, photography comes from an image that is made, not taken. The ending result to an image can often invoke an emotional response, and can be very pleasing to the eye. A photographer captures memorable images for a lifetime. Elements of a camera There are many elements of a camera, and each element has a different effect on the photo that you're taking, these include: Light sensitivity Light sensitivity refers to the smallest amount of light needed for a camera to produce an Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 4. Essay about Photography The Test of Time: The Power of the Photograph What is a photograph? The simplicity of taking a photograph leads many to ponder its artistic value. Yet, it is undeniable that there are some photos that cause an emotional reaction deeper than simply observing a recorded point in time. Surely, there are photographs that cause more reaction than some modern art pieces. There seems to be two types of photographs. The first classification is the 'time capture' photo – an image with the sole purpose of recording a particular event or point in time. The second nature of a photo carries a 'deeper meaning,' which has the ability to change the observer's mood and cause a reaction. But what distinguishes these two varieties? There are a...show more content... There is clearly an artistic value to this image – it is taken at the location of a massacre of over 200 members of the Great Sioux Nation. However, did Elliot Erwitt intend a 'deeper meaning' for this photograph? In an interview recorded on his official website, Erwitt declares, "If it turns out to be entertaining what I do, I'm very pleased. But it's not conscious." It seems that Erwitt claims to not possess artistic intent in his photographs. However, it is clear that he simply boasts an unconscious artistic eye. It is obvious that the photograph of this church on hallowed ground falls in the 'deeper meaning' category. The second Elliot Erwitt photo is taken from his official webpage. It too is captured in black and white. The photo, shown in Figure 2 was taken in France and depicts a man and child riding a bicycle down a road lined with trees. This seems to be a 'time capture' photo; this particular event can never be perfectly replicated again. Despite the category in which this photo clearly falls into, it is undoubtedly still art – the setting is too perfect to be unintentional. However, according to Erwitt in his interview, unintentional is exactly the correct word. Erwitt states, "I take pictures of anything that interests me as I walk around with my camera." This means that many of his photos are taken on a whim; the right place at the right time. In this case it is the viewer who makes the distinction between Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 5. The Relationship of Photographs, History, and Memory Abstract: This essay reflects on the relationship of photographs, history, and memory based on a found and mutilated photo album. Photographs provide opportunities for disrupting and restructuring history with their attraction to memory; they privilege the subjective, creative power of the personal explanation and provide an emotional and even ideological grounding for memory. Photographs as manifestations of memory assist in the process of understanding the present. As this century fades into the past it is worth remembering that its course––in contrast to earlier times––has been chronicled by a visual narrative that relies on the attraction of photographs as means of storing...show more content... The violent markings of the photo album and its images, however, produce an equally powerful message that jars the memory as it disrupts and distorts the photographic chronicle of her life and that of her family and friends. The result is a complex visual experience that addresses the use of images in producing knowledge and making history. Photographs are re–collections of the past. This essay is about photography, memory, and history and addresses therelationship between photographic images and the need to remember; it is based on the notion that seeing is a prelude to historical knowledge and that understanding the past relies on the ability to imagine. At the same time, the role of thought and imagination in the production of society––as reflected in the earlier work of Louis Althusser (1970), Maurice Godelier (1984) and perhaps more significantly, Cornelis Castoriadis (1975), suggests yet another role for photography in the construction of a social and cultural reality. Photographs in capitalist societies contribute to the production of information and participate in the surveillance of the environment where their subjective and objective qualities are applied to the private uses of photographic images in the perpetuation of memory. Photographs are also manifestations of time and records of experience. Consequently, writings on photographic theory are filled with references to representations of the past. Roland Barthes (1981, 76), for instance, Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 6. War Photography Essay War has always been an unfortunate part of our society and civilization. War will sadly and undoubtedly be with us as long as we exist. However, the portrayal of war for many centuries gave a sense of patriotism and romanticism. Then the invention of the camera changed how humanity perceived war in the late to mid 19th century. And all of a sudden, images ofwar became of shear violence and destruction. The violence in these images would play a significant part in the social and political standpoints of war in our nation. During the pre–Civil War era, the technology ofphotography was rare or still in development. All renderings of war were either in paintings or in literature. Since artists were the only people capable of creating...show more content... Writers following the Civil War wrote novels in response to the violence. They depicted that the future of war would be evil, apocalyptic, and destructive on a massive scale. Mark Twain was one of the writers who discussed this kind of scenario in one of his novels. "'In that explosion all our noble civilization–factories went up in the air and disappeared from the earth...twenty–five thousand men lay dead around us'" (Franklin 814). The images that showed all of the dead and the destruction, no doubt caused people to believe that the rise in industrialism would lead to more mass destruction. Many writers depicted in their novels, landscapes of gray, craters, and death. It was as if these writers were warning us, that if we as a society don't industrialize properly and responsibly, that the future of our planet would be just like the landscape described by these writers. They saw this rise in technology as a doom to civilization. However, the warnings of these writers disgracefully became reality. Much of Europe a few decades later during WW1, had landscapes that were gray, cratered, and full of dead bodies. A great change came during WW1 and WW2. War images were not the only way war was portrayed, but motion pictures also came along. The motion pictures gave a whole new perspective on war to the American people. Thus, by seeing this influence, many powerful leaders saw an advantage. They saw, "the tremendous potential of movies for propaganda and Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 7. Memorable Family Moments Caught by Photography Family photographs have enabled me to develop a way to keep my family with me all the time, even when they are really not there. These pictures of my family represent a wide variety of importance and emotions in my life. Many of them serves as a link to my home life, since I am away at college without my family I allow their pictures to be decorations (memoirs) in my apartment. Some of them mean more than others, some are recent, and others come from my childhood. A picture I have framed on the center wall in my apartment is of my family on vacation this summer; it depicts our true "selves" and exemplifies how much we truly love one another. I am...show more content... These are usually the times where they snap pictures of their love ones to create memories of happy, quality times with one another, especially if these times are not easy to come across. On my family trips and on the family trips of others the idea of being united and having fun together is exemplified through these informal photographs we take. In an article by Judith Williamson called "Family, Education,Photography", she discusses how "with the informal arrives a new element, never so highly developed as in contemporary family photography: the necessity of 'fun'"(339). Families in turn can show the fun they have with one another in these pictures of their vacation and other informal, happy times with one another. Judith Williamson's article also has several other important viewpoints on family photography and how it has changed over the years. She states that "in earlier family images it seemed enough for the family members to be presented to the camera, to be externally documented; but now this is not enough, and internal states of constant delight are to be revealed on film"(339). Today, the element of displaying the true "self" in pictures gives more meaning to the photos and how we in turn value them. When photography was first developed only the upper class families could afford these portraits and thus the norm for what family photographs Get more content on HelpWriting.net

For Landscape Photography following the techniques, you will hold the perfect moment and get vivid pictures. Thus, you will be able to capture some amazing beauty that you see. Learn More About Landscape Photography Reading the article, you will learn more about Landscape Photography. Here are given some techniques to follow. 1. Depth of field Many landscape photographers desire an image which appears sharp throughout the scene, so that elements of foreground interest, such as a rock in a lake, look just as sharp as the distant horizon. This can be achieved relatively easily using the principles of depth of field whereby the smaller an aperture you use, such as f/22, the greater the area both before and beyond the point of focus also...show more content... Capture Movement Most people think about landscapes they think of calm, serene and passive environments – however landscapes are rarely completely still and to convey this movement in an image will add drama, mood and create a point of interest. Wind in trees, waves on a beach, water flowing over a waterfall, birds flying over head, moving clouds make image nice. Capturing this movement generally means you need to look at a longer shutter speed. This means more light hitting your sensor which will mean you need to either go for a small Aperture, use some sort of a filter or even shoot at the start or end of the day when there is less light. 8. Work with the Weather A scene can change dramatically depending upon the weather at any given moment. So, choosing the right time to shoot is of real importance. An overcast day threatening to rain might provide you with a much better opportunity to create an image with real mood and ominous overtones. Look for storms, wind, mist, dramatic clouds, sun shining through dark skies, rainbows, sunsets and sunrises etc and work with these variations in the weather rather than just waiting for the next sunny blue sky Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 9. Photography Essay : My Passion For Photography My passion for photography began in High School, from the moment I walked into Photography 1, I was in love. I seemed to have a good eye when it came to landscape and animal photography, after hours of taking photos I would then spend hours in the dark room developing. For me, photography has been no more than just a hobby. I admire all professional photographers, especially those who specialize in newborn photography, because I envy them. I found Jessica Kennedy, of Jessica Rachel Photography, on Facebook. Her style and ability to take beautiful photographs captured my eye instantly. I did, what most people do, and followed her. I am always amazed when her pictures display on my newsfeed, especially the newborns, I just can't help but look. Kennedy's loved for photography started with an obsession with her taking pictures of her children and turned to photography as a hobby. Then with a gifted DSLR (Digital Single–Lens Reflex) camera she started researching classes in her area. She states "from there is snowballed", taking any opportunity that came along to gain hands on experience. She started her business in 2011, and then in 2016 her LLC (Limited Liability Company) business began. She started by advertising through Facebook and 'word of mouth'. She feels social media is the easiest way to connect with clients, without the burden of cost. Kennedy also partners with her local OBGYN clinic and Stork Vision ( a pregnancy ultrasound office), by displaying her work for free Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 10. Descriptive Essay On My Family Picture My family picture includes my Mom, Dad, younger sister, dog and myself. In the drawing, my younger sister is reading outside under a tree in our backyard. My sister enjoys having time to herself reading or listening to music over socializing at get–togethers. Likewise, my mom is gardening in the backyard in the picture. She enjoys spending time outdoors and caring for the garden to make our backyard look beautiful with the colourful plants and flowers. In my picture, my dog is located in the backyard with my Mom and sister. My dog loves spending time outside playing and prefers to have company then be left alone. In the picture, my Dad is taking a photo of a waterfall in Costa Rica during a recent vacation. My Dad does not enjoy staying in one place for an extended period of time and prefers to be out instead of relaxing on the weekends. He does photography as a hobby and will search out to find picturesque locations to set up his camera equipment and wait for the perfect lighting for a picture. In the family picture, I am in the kitchen, which overlooks the backyard, baking banana bread. Similar to my sister, I prefer spending the time to myself instead of socializing at get–togethers. My family picture, upon first look appears to be a bright and colourful family picture but upon analyzing with a critical eye, the picture portrays family dynamic and individuality.

  • 11. Capturing a Moment with Photography What can a picture really say? Photography can capture moments in time that will always hold a special place in one's heart allowing them to remember the emotion they felt during that time. Picture manipulations have been around for centuries and still exist today. In a popular picture from 1936, Dorothea Lange displays two forms of manipulation. She removed something so little, which represents so much by a method called technical retouching. It changed the whole emotion of the picture. She also stage–managed her photo's to hide very important details that would have changed the whole effect of the photo. Modern manipulations exist by Photoshop and could be more effective than ever before. "Long before Photoshop and other image–editing tools, artists, photographers, and composers were manipulating images. We still live in a culture and world where we want to assume that cameras provide us with an objective truth" (When Images "Lie", 2011). Trying to convey a message can be difficult, but with a little altering the message the photographer is trying to portray can become clearer to the viewer. Trying to covey a message through a picture can be extremely difficult because not everyone sees the vision of the photographer. Stage–managing is when you set up a setting in a way that delivers an illusion for the viewer to perceive. Photographers usually do this when they want to put emphasis on a certain subject. Lange Stage–managed her most popular image, Migrant Get more content on HelpWriting.net

The beauty of a photograph...show more content... You should avoid blazing sunshine at noon because it would make your photos become too shine. When taking photo outside, if the angle of sight is against the sunlight, you can use the flash. You also can use a dedicated light to light up some dark area caused by sunlight such as: eye socket, neck, and so on. Do not let the light from the back get all the attention of the main character. When talking photograph at night, pay attention to the distance between the flash and the subject. If it is too dark, use more lights. Next, take many shot at the same sight in order to choose later. Taking many shot helps you to improve your skill and increase the chances of having beautiful photos. While you taking photos, many mistakes may happen. We do not want our beautiful photographs depreciate because of those small mistakes. So take many shot at each sight and pick out the most beautiful one. Then, hold you camera steadily. Some people often shake their hands while taking photo so the photo will be blurred and dim. And of course, that photo will be useless. Try to keep your hands and your feet steadily when taking photograph. You can use a table tripod or any other fulcrums to help you hold the camera. In short, try to hold the camera steadily to make the most beautiful photographs. Finally, use editing photos software. One of the most popular editing photos software today is Photoshop.

Her grandma gave them to her right after she performed in a concert for her dancing school. Athol Williby School of dance, a place she'd been going to for 3 years, since she was 7 years old.

As everyone was arriving the young girls noticed how many people actually went to the dance school. They were shocked; they'd only seen the older girls that gossiped in the change rooms before class. As the doors opened and everyone moved into the building, a tall lady with red curly hair and a big noise came into view. She was screaming instructions at everyone; they just kept walking through the doors. The young girls walked into change room 8. It was huge with ballet costumes on hangers. There were lights around the mirrors just like in the movies. The little girls felt very glamorous. They were told to sit on the ground and wait until Marie, the lady that would be looking after and helping them get into their costumes, came. The young girls sat and waited patiently, giggling excitedly about which costumes they would get to wear. All of sudden like a gust of wind the door flung open and in came the screaming lady with red curly hair and a big noise.

  • 16. Photography : Reflections Of The Past Essay Photography: Reflections of the Past Photography has taken over the modern world. On every screen, on every wall, on every building is most likely a picture that has been taken and processed. Photography has been around since the 1800's and has opened an immense world with endless possibilities. Photography was the gateway to videography which has become a vast part of many cultures. Not only does photography have a history of its own, it is also a visual record of history. It has recorded many of the world 's greatest milestones and several personal ones as well. Photography allows people to look back at a moment and reflect. Photography is the art of taking and processing photographs, which ultimately allows people to look back and reflect on a moment. The idea of displaying an image and capturing it dates back almost 2000 years ago; it was known to the Chinese and the Greeks. The camera obscura was an empty box with a hole on one end where objects outside of the hole were displayed on the other wall. Artist could then trace the objects thereby preserving the image. Although it is not fully mechanical and the image is only as good as the artist, it laid the foundation for many other cameras to come. ("History of Photography") The Daguerreotype was one of the first reasonable cameras. It was invented by Louis–Jacques–Mande Daguerre. Daguerre was a French romantic painter and printmaker. His partner Nicephore Niepce was also a painter and was in search of a way to capture an Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 17. Photo Descriptive Essay Time Photo Descriptive Essay The sweeping vista stretches out before me, offering a delightful study in contrasts, mountain, lake, sky, and desert, a feast for the eyes and soul. Not just the stark beauty, I feel the serenity and isolation of this place. Time seems frozen as I look out over this sun–drenched panorama that stretches for miles. My perch atop the sand dunes is nearly perfect for drinking it all in. The tranquility is almost palpable, like a hug. This impression is heightened by the warm desert air that embraces my skin. There is no wind to disturb the surface of the shimmering turquoise lake, busying itself with reflecting brilliant desert sunlight. The lake's edges nestle against buff–colored sandy shores. How smart was Nature to choose this sumptuous pallet for this time and place, muted beige and stunning aquamarine, to place them side–by–side in this solitary landscape with a faithful mountain standing guard nearby? I wonder about the water's temperature. If I dip in my hand, will the water be cool and invigorating? Or warm and welcoming instead? I wonder about the water's journey that brought it to rest in this lake. Did this liquid jewel start out as snow high atop the distant Andes peaks, to end up here refreshing the silent desert floor? The early afternoon sunlight bounces off the sun–dappled lake surface. Beyond the lake's distant shore, a chocolate–colored mountain rises from the desert floor pushing its powdered sugared peaks into the cobalt sky. Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 18. The Power of Photography Essay Have you ever taken a picture or been looking through a photo album and felt a sudden rush of emotion? Do you wonder what caused that emotion? Many find themselves captivated by a photograph and overwhelmed by the emotions that the photograph arouses. Believe it or not the arousal of emotion from those photographs was not caused by the content of the picture but by certain elements within the photograph. When a photograph is viewed it is not only the subject that triggers the overwhelming emotional response, it is the length of time that the film was exposed to sunlight, the way lighting is used and played with, and the strong detail of colors or lack thereof. While many believe that the subject acts as the primary stimuli to emotions, the...show more content... Lastly, a huge component to a photograph that aids in arousing emotion is color, bringing out different emotions whether color is present or not. When talking about emotion it seems a fairly simple topic and immediately "feeling" words come to mind; sad, happy, and confused. These are basic emotions and easy to understand. What isn't so simple about emotions is their process and how they form and work. Emotions are reactions to sensory information like sight, smell, taste, touch and sound (Tracing Emotion's Pathways 94). However, it is not that simple; an emotional reaction or response is made aware of and understood by a part of the brain called the sensory cortex. These emotional responses or reactions to sensory stimuli are processed by a part of the brain called the amygdala (What's An Emotion).
