The document discusses the work of four photographers - Jürgen Schadeberg known for photographing Nelson Mandela from 1952 onwards capturing his innocence while imprisoned for fighting apartheid; Nick Ut who won a Pulitzer Prize for his photo of Vietnamese children fleeing the Vietnam War showing the horror of war; Charlie Waite whose landscape photo of a lavender field in France leads the eye to an isolated tree using color contrast; and Katerina Plotnikova whose surreal photos juxtapose powerful animals with delicate models using shallow depth of field to controversial yet sensual effect.

1. Jürgen Schadeberg is a South African portrait photographer. He is known for
photographing Nelson Mandela from the year 1952 onwards. Nelson Mandela is one of
the most inspirational people in black history and is known for fighting for the rights of
equality for black people in South Africa. Unfortunately due to him fighting against an
apartheid government he was jailed for 27 years and this picture captures the innocence
of a man locked away for fighting for a Nobel cause. These pictures are in black and
white giving it that bleak/depressing feel to the picture and these pictures are all in focus
capturing every detail from Mandela Cell to Mandela himself.

2. Nick Ut is a War Photographer who captured the devastation of Vietnamese
Children fleeing from the Vietnam War. This picture caused a lot of controversy
as viewers at home was seeing the horror of the Vietnam War causing Nick Ut to
win the 1973 Pulitzer Prize for his terror war photography. The picture is in black
and white giving this image a bleak effect and everything in the picture is in focus
from capturing the terror of these children fleeing to the American soldiers that are
behind them. Moreover, you can see all the ruins and smoke within the picture.

3. Charlie Waite is a landscape photographer who takes images of a variety of
famous landscapes around the world. This image was taken in France Valensole
11. In this image we can see a field of lavender and an isolated tree in the
background. The lines of direction of the lavender field leads our eyes towards
the isolated tree and the use of contrasting colours within the picture makes the
picture in general a beautiful picture.

4. Katerina Plotnikova is a surreal photographer from Russia that creates visual fairy-
tales, both sensual and inspiring. Katerina likes to use powerful animals and delicate
models, juxtaposed together, to create her eccentric artwork. This picture by Katerina
is taken with a shallow depth of field as this attractive girl is in focus and the
background is blurred. The picture is daunting as this girl has flowers on her head
besides having a snake on her head, which makes this image quite controversial.
Furthermore, you can see the juxtaposition between the beauty (girl) and the beast
(snake). Another picture that was made with a similar ideology is a picture of another
attractive girl that seems to be intimate with this bear.
