...Module 1: Digital Photography Critical Analysis Digital Photography 1. Introduction A sailor planting a wet one on a nurse, Man walking on the moon, a student standing up to a line of tanks, and the horrifying moment a plane crashed into a skyscraper. Figure 1 –"V-J Day, Times Square, 1945", a.k.a. "The Kiss" “Man on the Moon, Apollo 11, 1969” "Tiananmen Square, China, 1989" “9/11 Attacks, New York City, 2001” All of these iconic images from history would be nothing but memories without the invention of photography. The power of photography has allowed us to see distant places, events before our lifetime, people from foreign lands and tragedies including war; all through the view of a lens. In just under 200 years, photography has transformed the world we live in enabling us to see not only beyond the boundaries of time and location but also beyond the range of human vision through macro, infrared and high-speed photography.

...His work is going to show the use of colours, style and the design as an overall portrait. Further more this essay will be looking at Andy Warhol’s images and they will be mentioning the years they were designed. Most importantly, there will need to be an interest on the topic so there could be a general discussion on Pop art. This essay will explore the styles and effects of Andy Warhol’s work. The essay will also explore the different kind of paper material he uses to design his images. For example most of his work is done through “Acrylic and silkscreen on Canvas”. This essay will discuss the feelings of why he designs his work on such material. As well as discussing general pop art, the essay will also show the attraction of Pop art and the relevance of pop art in the early years of Graphic design. Pop Art + Andy Warhol The research shows that Pop Art was promoted in the 1950’s to the public as a media source. As this information states "The term first appeared in Britain during the 1950s and referred to the interest of a number of artists in the images of mass media, advertising, comics and consumer products.” (http://www.artchive.com/artchive/pop_art.html) Pop Art use bright and colourful colours.

...effort to write a research paper that genuinely interested me, I wanted to find a successful woman in the photography field. Diana Arbus gave photography a breath of fresh air and showed the world just how crazy, and beautiful, New Yorkers are. She believed that the camera could be "a little bit cold, a little bit harsh.” but that it revealed the truth and the difference between what people wanted others to see, and what they actually did see. She used her peculiar view of the world to document the lives of people who would otherwise not be recognized and that makes the case for her innovative artistry. One of the most distinctive photographers of the 20th century, Diane Arbus was born March 14th, 1923 in New York City. She was the second child to David Nemerov and Gertrude Russek Nemerov, a Jewish couple who lived in New York City and owned Russek's, a famous Fifth Avenue department store. Due to her family's wealth, Arbus was shielded from the effects of the Great Depression while growing up in the 1930s and attended private school where she met her future husband. Diane’s father became a painter after retiring from Russek's;...

...works. Chuck Close’s most famous works are Big Self-Portrait, Kent, and Big Nude. Some of Carole King’s most famous works are "I Feel the Earth Move”,” It’s Too Late" and “Jazzman”. King also wrote many famous songs for other artists such as “The Locomotion” by Little Eve and “Will You Love Me Tomorrow” by The Shirelles. Nellie Bly’s most famous works include Ten Days in a Mad-House and Around the World in Seventy-Two Days. I will now look at each of these people in more detail starting with Chuck Close by writing a bit about his contemporaries. All of the contemporaries of Chuck Close in this research paper are part of the Photorealism Movement. The first contemporary is Ralph Goings who was born in 1928 and his work focused on painting buildings and cars. The next contemporary is Malcolm Morley who was born in 1931 and he would take photographs from places such as magazines and would repaint them. The final contemporary I will be writing about is Robert Bechtle who was born in 1932 and he would paint images from where he lived and the people around him. The next thing I will be looking at is what makes Chuck Close’s style unique and why he is considered to be important. One of the things that makes Close’s style unique is that he very rarely paints a subject’s body and focuses on their face instead. Another thing that makes Close’s style unique is that he has used multiple types of media throughout his career, such as photography and painting. Close also was paralyzed later in...

...Fine Line Between Art and Truth Photo manipulation has been around for over a century, but the recent focus on Photoshop has caused news photography to be looked at in a new light. As a result, pictures that have been manipulated have been called into question, and therefore have had a significant effect on the credibility of various forms of print media. In this new age of media, where circulation is down and corporations are cutting employees, credibility is a much talked about commodity. Although photo manipulation has a great effect on the credibility of media, it should be considered an art form and given a certain amount of freedom. To accurately understand the argument, the history of pre-Photoshop manipulation opens the paper, followed by modern manipulation and the backlash it has caused, what credibility is, how newspapers are addressing photo manipulation, and how modern manipulation should be handled and the standards that it is held to. Photoshop is a tool that has made the practice of photo manipulation both easy and affordable. But what is photo manipulation? It is simply altering an original image, taking the negative or digital image and changing it in some way. This practice has always been common, as photographers have enhanced lighting or used filters to eliminate a certain color. However, in the context of this paper most of the examples addressed deal with the current, narrower view of photo manipulation. According to the 2006 edition of Merriam Webster...
