2. The best photo is Picture 2. This photo must have been very difficult to capture because it was in the midst of all the action. The picture shows a mother and her child crossing a border in an intense situation. On the right side of the photo there is a pistol. And finally, the soldiers and other men in the background further prove how intense this moment was.
3. My best work this semester was my Master of Photography Assignment. I invested more time in this assignment, than I did in previous assignments. Another reason why this was one of my best works was because I took the time to talk to the people I was photographing. I allowed them to be at ease so the act of taking the picture didn't seem awkward. My final reason is because I took constructive criticism from my group members. I used the advice my group members had given me, to further improve my assignment. If i had more time to work on the assignment, I would have taken more shots and eliminated form there. This way I may have been able to mimic Smith's photo even better. But with the time I had, I feel that I did mimic the photos to my best ability.
4. My three rules of composition are: 1.Leading Lines 2.Filling the Frame 3.Depth of Field
5. This photo illustrates my ability to apply my rules of composition.
6. Your first rule of composition was: Get Closer. I remember learning that it is important to get comfortable with the subject of the photo and essentially "get close." By getting closer and comfortable with the subject, the photo taken will seem less awkward and will bring out the honest emotions.
7. Working in groups allows me to provide constructive criticism my group to improve as a whole. Group members also can help me by finding errors in my work that I may not have seen. Working in a group allows more productivity, by dividing and conquering tasks. Dividing tasks allows us to tackle more complex problems than I could have done on my own. Working in groups has also allowed me to have a variety of subjects in the photos I have taken. Finally, working in groups has developed my communication skills. I have learned how to talk among others, as well as creating a comfortable environment for the subjects i take photos of.
8. While working in a group is beneficial, it can also be detrimental at times. Sometimes, we end up talking about topics that are not related to photography. This can result in less productivity at times. Working in groups also results in unequal participation. Often times. some members tend to slack off and others must do more work to compensate for their lack of participation. Working is groups sometimes takes longer than usual, therefore not creating the desired result. And finally, there is sometimes conflict in groups. Contrasting styles sometimes results in arguments or differences in opinion.
9. This is my favorite work produced by my group member, Michael. This photo greatly integrates his rules of composition: Filling the Frame, Leading Lines, and Aspect Ratio. I really like how the dew on the plant is the main focus of the photo. The dying parts of the plant in the background also provide different colors in the photo.
10. Our group studied and reproduced the work of the master photographer, Eugene W. Smith. Although Smith's most famous photo was of Harry Truman holding up a newspaper, he was known for war photography. Smith contributed to photography by taking daring photos that often challenged propaganda. He used these photos to inspire young Americans to fight for their country in the war.
11. Dorothea Lange's most popular photo was called Migrant Mother. This photo was taken if February or March of 1936 in Nipomo, California. The "migrant mother" in the photo was Florence Owens Thompson. The Farm Security Association (FSA) employed her when she took the photo.
12. LIFE Magazine began publishing in 1936.
13. Elvis Presley, the King of Rock and Roll, was born on January 8, 1935.
14. Rober Capa was a founding member of Magnum Photos, which started in 1947.
