His photography is effective in the sense that it truly captures the reality of the disasters he encountered. I think these photographs are particularly powerful because they show both physical and emotional damage caused by the Japan earthquake and tsunami. The images open the eyes of the readers and make them emotionally attached to the story. Japan earthquake and tsunami: Dan Chung in Shintona Guardian photographer captures the devastation wrought on the town of Shintona in Miyagi prefecture, one of the worst affected areas. A grieving woman sits on the kerb as rescuers search for survivors. A car embedded in the side of a house by the force of the tsunami. A photograph in the rubble.

...“Is photography art?” may appear to be a seemingly irrelevant question today. In our culture we are not only surrounded by media and marketing images for consumers. Camera images also function as decoration, provide spiritual enrichment, and give us insight into the past and present. In the years following the discovery of photography, however, this medium was criticized and critiqued while trying to be recognized as a form of artistic expression in a period dominated by painting. Similar to painters, photographers can approach their photographs in a variety of ways, transforming them from mere “careless snapshots” into beautiful, original pieces of work. The Seven Last Words, by F. Holland day is considered one of the most important images in the history of photography. This piece contains iconic religious and spiritual importance which influenced subsequent artists significantly. The monumental self-portrait depicts Day as Christ in a series of seven platinum prints set in a frame designed by the artist. In order to prepare for his self-portraits Day starved himself, grew out his beard, and imported cloth and a cross from Syria. It is without question that Day’s depiction of Christ is unsettling and full of emotion as he portrays Jesus speaking out his last words. His images are soft and painterly-like, blurring the visible line between painting and photography. Many individuals may have difficulty distinguishing the two. His dramatic use of lighting can also be compared...

...Self-Portraits Understanding the reason behind self-portraits can be as complicated as understanding ones self. Self-portraits can be the complete embodiment of an artist or his or her own reflection of self. Does anyone’s self-portrait really represent a true reflection of that individual? I would have to say no. A famous painter that I have chosen to discuss the concept of self-portraits is Rembrandt. Rembrandt was- Often more concerned with character and expression than likens and public image, he scrutinized his features in the mirror, made faces at himself and cast his eyes in evocative shadow, paying scant attention to the conventional formalities of portraiture. (Chapman, 1989, pg. 158). While Rembrandt appears to be studying self-portraits to study painting and expressions, I would consider my primary reason for painting a self-portrait is to identify my own self. How do I define myself? What are my outward thoughts of myself? Do I paint myself as overweight or underweight? Do I choose to use expressions or facial appearances of people I admire or do I choose to be overly judgmental of myself? Self-portraits evolved in the 15th century when artists really wanted to improve their social status and make a name for them. (Hall, 1999). Historical evidence strongly supports the idea that a fundamental shift away from a God-centered world-view towards a man-centered one took hold in the Renaissance and gained greater strength in the seventeenth century, and that this radical...

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of writing this report is to enhance my knowledge on the topic that most interests me. Fashion photography is an essential part in the fashion world. The scope of writing this report is to learn all I can about fashion photography and use my findings in the future. I began my research by referring to some books from the library. Then I referred to the web. I learnt many interesting facts. I learnt about the techniques used in fashion photography, the lighting used, famous photographers, various cameras and its features and the types of fashion photography. It was a lot of fun working on this report. INTRODUCTION Everyone wants to see exciting pictures of beautiful people and great products presented with incredible artistry. Nonetheless, the phrase fashion photography means different things to different people. Whether they are involved with the fashion industry or just a viewer of the final results makes a difference. To a photographer, fashion photography is a way to express himself, the models, and the products as one coherent piece of art. The fashion photographer tries to bring to all three a liveliness that transcends each one individually, and to simply make...

...Flipping The Coin of Photography Before, I tell you about what I am going to write, first and foremost I would like you all to imagine two situations. The first is suppose you enter an old palace, what do you expect to find. Well, you are sure to have a glimpse of numerous paintings hung on the gorgeous walls depicting portraits of glorious emperors and his beautiful wives, or certain scenes of importance being depicted on the walls. Any genuine person would call the palace and its adored paintings, a work of art and rather be mesmerised by the antiquity. Now, the second situation is somewhat we all are acquainted with. What do you expect to find as you enter the house of a popular film star. Well you are luckily you are going to see numerous photographs of stars being framed and hung on the wall. You can also find a good deal of landscape photographs in any modern household. Well, now the question arises. Will you call this house a patron of art? This is where the ambiguity arises. It has been almost 180 years now, and still innumerable critics have been raging a battle among themselves on whether to consider photography as an art. Well, I am no critic, neither I am any artist or photographer. I am what you all are, a layman. And I will try to analyse things from layman’s point of view. So, being impartial, standing on the vulnerable bisector dividing the two forms, I would like to establish art with photography. How do we describe art? Art is a form of media be it painting...

...1955, The Family of Man, which presented photography as a giant three-dimensional photo essay through which visitors could wander (Kelsey 268). Steichen’s curatorial methods suggested that photography in the art museum should feature not the aesthetically refined and personally expressive individual print, but rather a selection of images that could impart a clear message to a broad public (Kelsey 268). This photographic exhibition was considered the greatest of all time, and included 503 pictures from 68 countries (Kelsey 270). Connecting the bond between the camera operator and the photograph made way for calling into question the traditional model of authorship in the fine arts (Kelsey 270). Steichen celebrated photography as a universal language, capable of bringing the world together. He purposed that photographic art required no...

...Heckerling. The comedy serves as a 20th century update of the original text that shifts into creating a contemporary Emma, one for our own era. Though Clueless seems to set forth on building its reputation on a completely new, distinct ground, it is not an entirely different work of art. Considerable amounts of uniformities between the adaptation and Emma can be pinpointed throughout. As “Clueless is most faithful to Emma in its recreation of the plot involving Mr. Elton, Harriet Smith, and Emma” (Troost, Linda, and Greenfield 124), several parallels between the two distinctive texts, concerning this matter, can be recognized. One outstanding example is the correspondence and connection between the modern photography scene in Clueless and the sketching/painting of Harriet’s portrait in Emma. Hence, along with the novel’s highly persuasive guidance and the two’s so-called loose relation, various similarities as well as differences are inevitably present. Upon an analytical, close reading of the associated scenes, several shared story elements are brought into prospective. Both revolve around a beautiful, young lady who believes it is her duty to act as a matchmaker for her two companions. In both, the protagonist attempts to capture an image of her friend in hope that it would somehow reveal or prove the affection of the other. But aside from that, one will find that the two widely differ. Hence, to be able thoroughly analyze the two pieces of work upon this scene and to further...

...under a lot of expansion and remodeling, because of constant destruction. In the Second Opium War 1860, the Old Summer Palace was destroyed and Emperor Tongzhi announced its reconstruction on November 17, 1887 (Peng 57). By about the year 1888, the palace was complete but having cost a large sum of money that the Empress obtained from pillaging their navy. As you can see, this palace was very important to the Empress. Not only was it one of Empress Cixi’s favorite places, but where she eventually retired. Until then, the Summer Palace had a significant role in advocating artistic culture and in political events throughout Empress Cixi’s reign. Shown within a number of rooms is an emphasized importance of the artistic culture. The Empress explored much with western styled fashion, photography, and decoration. In fact, Claire...

...We would like to speak with you regarding photography and the importance of hiring a professional wedding photographer, as opposed to allowing a family friend with a decent camera to capture your special day, leaving it to your guests or hiring a photographer who does not specialize in weddings. We have briefly touched on this topic in a previous article, however, we strongly believe photography is a part of the wedding that is crucially important to perform accurately! There are numerous horror stories about people being let down by the results that a non-professional photographer has produced. Couples choosing to let ‘a friend’ do it, or ‘I know someone with a good camera’, or ‘we’re just going to let our guests take the photos’. This is perfectly fine to do and you may feel that you will be saving money by doing this, but in the long run, we can guarantee it will not turn out how you expected. Your wedding photos are the only lasting memory you will have of the day, and if they do not turn out as you dreamt, then your memories will be ruined. Grand Lens Photography shares...
