Richard Avedon

in 1944, Avedon began working as an advertising photographer for a department store, but was quickly endorsed by Alexey Brodovitch, the art director for the fashion magazine harper's bazaar. Lillian Bassman also promoted Avedon's career at harper's.

Richard Avedon May 15, 1923 – October 1, 2004 was an American fashion and portrait photographer. An obituary published in The New York Times said that "his fashion and portrait photographs helped define America's image of style, beauty and culture for the last half-century".

dorthy lane

dorothea lang
she was a great photographer because she got pictures of people and their struggles and this picture got her into one of the best photographers in the world because she was one of the best and I still think she is and even though there are many others but this one gave us history and how we can use it and if people at let know a bit of what happened In our past


william klein

William klein was a good photographer because he didn't care he was just getting these close up shots of people and nobody said anything back then and I feel like if I took a close up of some ones face and I feel like they say that get that camera out of my face or they will just start swigging

diane arbus

was an American photographer and writer noted for photographs of marginalised people—dwarfs, giants, transgender people, nudists, circus performers—and others whose normality was perceived by the general populace as ugly or surreal.In 1972, a year after she took her own life, Arbus became the first American photographer to have photographs displayed at the Venice Biennale.

understanding exposure

 

think about it like this your collecting rain in a bucket and if you leave it outside a along time then you get a lot of rain and the less time you leave it then you get less rain.

and now picture the more sunlight you let in the picture you get a blur when someone is doing an action and when you leave it less time the better and higher quality it is and now if you want to get an action shot then change you f stop to the biggest number because the hole is going to be small and the smaller the number the bigger the hole.

august sander

he is a famous photographer we was because he is dead well his pictures were black and white but amazing even thought they where pictures of German soldiers because he was born on November 17 1876 and past away on April 20 1964 and im guessing that he got to see ww2 because it was happening during is late 40 or early 50s  and im surprised because I though he would have died during the yellow fever age   

What I read about Robert Frank.

 

 

Robert frank is a great photographer he was born in Switzerland 1924,he traveled across the united states on a Guggenheim fellowship in 1955 and 1956.the result was the Americans , a book strongly influenced by walker evan.

 

 

he was grateful of the guggeheim foundation for their confidence and the provisions they made for him.

i like this picture because it shows texture and composition because the blacker it is the less light it hits and texture because all the ruff areas in it the picture.
and why did he take a picture like this idk why he did but i know that its wow did he really just take this picture and i think he wanted the viewer say wow is there really a place like this in the world.

warm up

i like this picture because the chimpanzee looks like my brother just playing but i love this picture because 2 photographers wee gee and a chimpanzee it makes me laugh every time i see this picture and i like chimpanzee to and it makes my day every time i see it and wow. XD!!!

weegee he is a good photographer because he made his own a job and he does everything in his car and yeah his pictures are bloody and scary looking but its like an art if you make a sketch and its comes out ugly then its just art like his pictures are art and its just wow like is this really happening in the world and I like his pictures because wow did this really happen because I wasn't born at this time like dang.

 

this picture of Keith carter makes me feel good because I see 2 couples having a picnic and they are having fun and while the background is all blurry and its just focused on the couple and part of the tree and while he used a different f stop for the background. and what is the photographer is trying to communicate the different lines or just is trying to show the prospection on  the picture like lines and curves theirs so many curves in this picture.

this picture of harry Callahan makes me feel that wow im in slow motion because he is using a slow shutter speed or its that im looking at a window and  just taking a picture and just letting my picture in the window and then he just wanted to get a great picture

keith carter

Keith carter is a great photographer and even though his pictures is just black and white but the are really good and yeah they are just amazing even thought some of his pictures are scary looking but man I wish I had a talent to do this and him having eye cancer is scary because his a photographer you need your eyes to get an amazing picture or for someone to say "wow!!!!!''

This is one of his photos he took 

and i like it5 because its black and white and its just focused on one thing its not like its more then just that. this girl is one of his models

<-----this is Richard Avedo American photographer Richard Avedon was best known for his work in the fashion world and for his minimalist portraits. He worked first as a photographer for the Merchant Marines, taking identification photos. He then moved to fashion, shooting for Harper's Bazaar and Vogue, demanding that his models convey emotion and movement, a departure from the norm of motionless fashion photography.

this shows f stop because its focused on the fire and its letting more light inside the camera and its brighter and its shows what iso is in it and the back round is all blurry

shutter speed

The camera's shutter speed, the lens's brightness and the scene's luminance together determine the amount of light that reaches the film or sensor.is a quantity that accounts for the shutter speed and the f-number. Multiple combinations of shutter speed and f-number can give the same exposure value. According to expose value formula, doubling the exposure time doubles the amount of light. In addition to its effect on exposure, the shutter speed changes the way movement appears in photographs. Very short shutter speeds can be used to freeze fast-moving subjects, for example at sporting events. Very long shutter speeds are used to intentionally blur a moving subject for artistic effect.

iso what is it well let me explain what that is well its It is challenging to take good pictures without a good understanding of how ISO works and what it does. Camera ISO is one of the three pillars of photography the other two being  aperture and shutter speed and every photographer should thoroughly understand it, to get the most out of their equipment. Since this article is for beginners in photography, I will try to explain ISO as simple as I can.

I like this picture because it shows so much depth in it and the f stop that's used in it because its focused on one thing and the rest or the back round is all blurred out.

f-number - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Photography deals with capturing light in a way that appeals to your artistic sensibiliti
of an optical system is the ratio of the lens's focal length to the diameter of the entrance pupil. It is a dimensionless number that is a quantitative measure of lens speed, and an important concept in photography.F-stops in particular have a tremendous effect on image characteristics, some of which may not be obvious to amateur shooters. For the bulk of this article, we'll discuss and improve your grasp of the mysterious f-stop.

I like this picture because it shows a point of view that some people don't even look at and I love this picture because I love Subaru STI and I love how these cars sound and how they look and what this shows is point of view and depth because the people in the back are really tiny in the back
