Photography has been my passion for a few years now, and I love the artistic representation that photography has to offer, including that of self-portraiture. I found the article Reflections on Self-Portraiture in Photography by Ina Loewenberg an interesting read and think the author has valid points throughout. The article states “We understand a portrait in any medium to be an artist’s interpretive rendering of the “subject” while a self-portrait is an artist’s presentation of…

crude lenses. It was used for entertainment and often times, education, for all ages. It remained very popular until motion toys came about and soon the concept of “persistence of vision” came forth, in which it is “the eye's capacity to retain an image even after it has been removed”.

“A picture is worth a thousand words.” This popular quote means that a picture can tell a story just as well as a large amount of text. Painters try to convey a message through their artwork.

Salvador Dali tried to connect with the people. He would paint his feelings and many people could connect…

Eadward Muybridge was one of the first to use photographs to capture motion through an experiment to see if a horse…
