Conflict

this photo can be recreated by taking a crowd of people in the hallway and singling out a couple having an intamate moment. I could use the main hall because thats where i can get the most people.

1] what specifically is the purpose of heisler's photographs? is it simply vanity-driven or does it perform a deeper function?
A:I think the photo has a much deeper meaning as well as all of Hiesler's photos, his photos shows peoples lives and there personality

2] as many of heisler's photos are made for specific stories or magazine covers they have a specific look, but are they fundementally different from gordon parks' "american gothic"?
A:Heisler's photos are more positive and try to show good in the world, whiles Park's photos try to show the negetive aspect.

3] pick the portrait of the actor hugh grant from the prophoto.com website and critique it for content, purpose, and effectiveness.
A:This portrait of Hugh Grant shows a sense of calm mundaneness in a restaurant. the lighting on him is nice but I don't really like the expression on his face, it makes the picture look too depressing.

1] what you see in the photograph [simple and objective]
A: A black woman with a broom and a mop standing in front of a American Flag in an office
2] what the photo looks like its saying to you [your initial analysis]
A: That blacks were discriminated badly even though this is the land of oppourtunity.
3] comparisons and contrasts to grant wood's "american gothic"
A: both plain, Ella and the man in the painting look very stern. both symbolize american culture
4] what you think the the photograph really means [your interpretation]
A: America is supposed to offer a chance to make it in the world, but in this period equallity doesn't exist.
5] whether or not you think that it is successful photograph
A: yes, the photo gets to the point and acurately describes the lifestyle of the time.

Cruising with Robert Frank

This photo shows good lighting with nice contrast, and the subject of the photo is well placed. The sky also looks good where it's bright in the middle and gets grayer as you get closer to the edge. It also symbolizes Americas need for gas and the want to save.

lighting test

Butterfly lighting-when the light is placed above looking down at the subject, creating shadow under there nose and neck.






















Broad light-when the side of the face facing the camera is fully lit.






















Rembrandt lighting- when the light creates a triangle under the eye and past the nose on the opposite side of the face.























Short light- when the side of the face aiming at the camera is in shadow.
