In my everyday life, I’m bombarded by television, movies, commercials, billboards and especially magazines with images that are fake. With the creation of programs like Photoshop, it is now easier than ever before to alter photographs. Go to any grocery store and the woman peering out from the pages of each and every magazine, appear with flawless features, only made…

This world is filled with some amazing creatures like Giraffes who's legs are taller than the average human size. (Society, National Geographic. Giraffes, Giraffe Pictures, Giraffe Facts. National Geographic)On the other hand, what if there was nobody to capture these majestic animals? That is what Animal Photographers do. Taking pictures of these beautiful and bold animals is not all Animal Photographers do. Being an Animal Photographer whether it is land or marine animals, is a very unique job…

Photography is a form of art that I’ve always believed I could understand/relate to the most. I’ve always enjoyed being behind the lens and observing others photographs. The way that Sally Mann discusses her own photography and different methods represents how I would want to approach photography. She explains that the meaning behind all of her work is simply because it’s fun, even if that’s hard to believe. I like the idea that she does photography simply because she loves it. She goes on to…

inspired Muybridge to take his ideas further. He went on to invent a high speed film, able to capture the image of a moving animal faster than the human eye can see. The world at this time was in the midst of a global change in technology with the rise of the railroad system and still photography. Muybridge took photography and motion to a new level by creating the zoopraxiscope which projected his images of animals in motion on a screen, creating moving pictures. Muybridge’s photo experiments…

I have a very simple question to ask you. Why do we take pictures? For hundreds of years pictures have been taken to capture the moments of things important to us. Every day millions of pictures are taken from our smart phones and posted to social media to document our every move. Who you’re hanging out with. What you ate for lunch. Maybe you went to a concert over the weekend and took a picture of your favorite band, or went hiking and captured the view from the top of a mountain. And let’s…

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…

Growing up, I remember always looking out the car window and staring at all the tall buildings. I’ve always been fascinated by the little things in life. This artwork instantly reminded me of how I looked at buildings myself as a child. I wondered if Hugh Mackenzie and I had something in common. When I came across this painting I actually stopped and stared, acknowledged and appreciated the hard work of etching. In pure etching, a metal (usually copper, zinc or steel) plate is covered with a…

My photographer is Josef Sudek, his approach to his style is more of nature and black and white, I was looking at a lot of his pictures and they mainly all look the same. He mostly shoots outdoors but, if she shoots indoors he makes sure its in a window, or in a couple there were rays of sunlight coming into the picture kind of having the same feelings as the others. It looks like he likes to use a lot of different types of light for his photography. Josef Sudek's technique seems to be very…
