Visual research” When we worked on photography history Garry Winogrand was one of the photographers that inspired me with my “Street People” assignment. My work is nothing like his but the free expression that I found in his work even though underneath some of his work you can see the different expressins in people this made me relise that you can express anything within a photo. Simon Garnier said: “I was too timid to get close to strangers to get intimate with them and tell their…

Selfie’s a Fad or a Part of our Lives for the Long Haul? Smile! Selfies have exploded over the past 10 years because of the technology of camera phones, the availability of the internet and our basic need to communicate with others. By simply taking a picture of yourself and posting it on any form of social media, you are participating in this new age fad.

A Picture is Worth a Thousand 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;…

What is contrast? Contrast is the difference between light and dark. In…

and the finished product The skier is also the artist of the whole project, the landscape is the canvas, the skis are the paintbrush and the camera preserves the piece. Environment: The environment is beautiful because of the subtle smell of the trees, the untouched snow, the amazing sky, and the sound of someone’s skis cutting through the snow. The camera is the best way to capture these amazing moments, the skier of course is the main subject, but what good would a ski film be without a…

With this project I didn’t feel particularly inspired at this beginning. Forcing myself to just keep shooting, for hours and hours, the same subjects, really pushed me to start directing my camera at scenes and lighting conditions I wouldn’t have thought to shoot before. I think a lot can be learned from when you think you've seen an object, person or place in every way you possibly can and then somehow keep making new photos of it. Really…

He showers away the intimate afternoon spent earlier with his female companion. The curtain is thrown open swiftly and a camera appears, behind it his lovely visitor grins with a pretty smile. He smiles back at her “FLASH” the camera captures his glance frozen in time. She leaves him but returns a moment later, the curtain is thrown open again.

The occupation takes years of practice even on the job the photographer is continuously learning. Photography is a…

What is a camera obscura? What is the principal of optics that makes it work? “A camera obscura, which is literally means ‘darkened room.’ It uses a lens and a sequence of mirrors to project an image of the surrounding landscape onto a viewing surface.” (http://www.scopex.co.za/files/Camera-obscura-ML-1207.pdf) “The principle of optics that makes it work was light travels in a straight line and when some of the rays reflected form a bright subject passes through a small hole in thin material…
