Products of America Go Crazy” is a photo exhibition recently installed at Pratt Institute featuring the works of artists Lucas Blalock, Owen Kydd, and John Lehr. These photographers celebrate, as the name suggest, the pure products of America in their images; they find beauty in banal objects that represent the residue of a pursuit of American living. In doing so, they also emphasize the role that the camera itself, as well as post-production digital tools, have in creating value to the captured…

“Take an image, freezing a moment in time, reveals how rich reality truly is,” Ansel Adams says. Photographers need multiple skills and knowledge of what they are actually taking a photograph of. A photograph is not just what u see in the image its what you make of it. Photographers are still needed in the world to capture every precious moments in reality. Photography is a more difficult than just taking a picture and presenting it. It is about capturing the right picture at the right moment…

Analysis of Two Photographers By Philip Langlois wolfjpl@gmail.com Date Due: 03/11/15 The history of photography can be traced back to the camera obscura which is a box with a pinhole through which light travels and reflects off a mirror showing the image. The invention of modern photography can trace its roots back to Niepce who took what would be the first photograph in 1827 using a pewter plate. People would improve upon Daguerre’s idea until 1888, when George Eastman and the Kodak…

Tiashara Armstrong Mr. Davies Comp 101 Having Difference Some photos can be misinterpreted and not understanding. The photos themselves are representations of how people see them. Representation is the description or portrayal of something in a certain way. Certain representations, or misrepresentations, get widely circulated by what we call the dominant discourse. Everyone has used representation to explain how things are in life to them. In the “States” essay, written…

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, the light you need and more importantly, what the image says. I'm an active person, I love…

Art is inspired by the world around it. The techniques, tools, and technology all effect how art is made at a certain point in time. Prehistoric men used cave walls to print their paintings, the subject matter usually being nature or the supernatural. Millions of years later, our artists are still being influenced by the world around them and the tools available. During the Industrial Revolution paint began being sold in tubes, and the realm of those who enjoyed and purchased art was expanded.…

introduced by Louis Daguerre, a French artist and inventor. By discovering that "exposing iodized silver plates to light left behind a faint image that could be developed by Mercury fumes," the new creation came about with the help of Joseph Niépce (Andrews, 2015). This creation was simply a sheet of silver that, when exposed to light, would produce an image. The invention eventually was released to the public, becoming popular around the world. While the daguerreotype was one of the first…

the sense that it is a framed canvas hanging on the wall. But it is not quite a ‘painting’ as most people are used to experience it. Artist doesn’t use any components normally recognizable in painting: color, brushstroke, perspective. There is no image! Though we can argue that artist uses some composition by placing text almost in the middle of canvas (page?). White plain canvas, thin frame, typography, simple font remind me of typed piece of paper. Thus the painter is turned into writer.…

Words. Photography is the ability to freeze time without disturbing life. What is meant by that phrase is that when a photo is taken, that precise moment is forever captured to be revisited at the viewer’s leisure. When a photographer takes an image it is very different than when a friend tells you, “ Lets take a selfie!” Although, both a photographer and one capture that moment in time, a photographer tries to tell a story or a message as to look who I’m with; which with in itself is…

Adam Welch in his article The Evolution of Photography, this photographic process involves “applying mercury fumes to the exposed silver plate to make the “latent” image” which takes approximately 15 minutes…
