Before the camera was invented it was really difficult to record an image. You had to stand very still for a long time for the picture to be taken. If you moved just a little bit the picture would turn out blurry. In the year of 1881 George Eastman started making dry plates (Dry plates were round disks that were used instead of film). Then in 1883, George Eastman created a thin strip of paper covered in gelatin emulsion and silver balide, which is what we call film. Finally, he invented the…

Body image is a person’s perception of their physical self and the positive, negative, or both of their thinking and feelings. It means how and what you think about your body, it is also included the image of your body that you are thinking, which may not affect a person's actual shape and size in their real life. There are four aspects of the body image, including the way you see yourself, your perception of the way you look, your thoughts and beliefs about the body, and the way you do things…

Any image that has a greater view than the human eye or an aspect ratio of 2:1 is considered a panorama. Panoramic photography was born when the pioneer photographers started using daguerreotype plates put together to form wide-angled scenes. One of the first panoramic photographs was by Martin Behramanx in 1851 showing San Francisco from Rincon Hill. It is thought that the original panorama had 11 plates, but the originals no longer exist. Even thou it was developed 150 years ago people still…

A world without photography seems merely impossible for the modern age humans. Photography is seen throughout our everyday lives, from the television, to smartphones, and on our computers it seems impossible to avoid it. But why would we want to? Photography is a vision, a memory, a moment captured in time that makes it possible for humans to share these moments with others. But more times than not, these moments, visions, photographs are altered, manipulated, and distorted to influence, and…

Mike Kelley, considered one of the most inspirational American artist of our time, with his contemporary, messy, and unusual mash-ups of thrift shop media. Kelley's art occasionally opposed the usual art world value. In his highly recognized piece More Love Hours than Can Ever Be Repaid (1987), Kelley stitched together stuffed animals and blankets purchased at a thrift shop on a canvas, to portray the symbolism that a toy, once a loving gift from a parent to a child, is now damaged and unwanted…

How I would photograph the crime scene, would first be to secure the scene. I would make sure all the evidence of the body, any article of clothing, shell castings, weapons of guns or other evidence that is at this scene, is secure and in its natural state. Then I would evaluate the crime scene conditions. Since this crime scene is outside, I would evaluate the available light and weather conditions and I would adjust the camera setting to the appropriately. No single camera setting will work…

University in England, and that is where he first discovered his passion film and photography. By the early 1930s, Cartier-Bresson was practically consumed by the art form, and made the decision to pursue photography as his career. After travelling the world chasing his dream and also working for the French military as a photographer, Cartier-Bresson, inspired by Robert Capa, changed his whole approach to photography.

Photography can be viewed in multiple ways by just one person. When many people view the same photo, the amount of possible outlooks increases greatly. Photography is art and art is what you make it. It can express feelings or emotions, thoughts, and perspectives because the subject of a photo can be anything visible. Most commonly seen are photographs of people, items, or scenery. Photography for me is a way to capture moments and memories; a way to freeze time and keep an image or moment the…

begged my parents to let me use their camera. Whether it was to take video or just a simple picture, I loved it. Being able to capture an image and keep it for a lifetime has always intrigued me. Over the years, I taught myself more and more about photography. Every little setting, every little detail matters. It's not as simple as just pointing it and pressing the button. You need to think about what image you want to capture, how you're going to capture it, what setting you're going to use,…

In this chapter, the author explains the effects and consequences that photos of disability have in our society. She claims that there are four visual rhetorics that determine the message a viewer receives when looking at a photo of disability, the wondrous, sentimental, exotic, and realistic, and that these factors can either help or hinder the appropriate representation of people with disabilities. This topic of appropriate disability representation is important because it gives a sense of…
