Great black and white photographers part 3

What caught my attention on this photograph is that Frida Kahlo is posing normally, but we all know that she's really famous, so I chose this photograph. If I was in Frida Kahlo's point of view I would see the photographer. I would smell maybe food since she's having a guest over? I would hear the shutter sound of the camera taking the picture. I would taste the food I am cooking because I might be hungry. I would feel the furniture on my elbow. 

What caught my attention on this photograph is the murder scene. Im interested in real life deaths, I have no idea why. I find it fascinating, and I liked this photo because its real. Honestly, if I was in the guys position, I WONT BE ABLE TO TASTE, HEAR, SEE, FEEL, OR SMELL. But lets just say I could. I would taste blood since there is blood on the persons face. I would hear people screaming or police/ambulance sirens. I would smell my own blood since its on my nose too. I would feel the pain going on everywhere, and maybe people helping me up and such. I would see people freaking out around me and helping me up. 

I would probably make power points for the two photographers since I can show different photographs of the two photographers they have taken. I can present their awards they have received if they did or not. I can present their life and their point of views of everything, good or bad. 

Africa: Black and white

I really liked the Africa photographs. I like how they're not amateur taken and they seem really neat and professional in a way. I like how its black and white, its makes it look more majestic.

This is my favorite photograph because I think Gorillas are really gnarly. It reminds me of a movie I loved to watch when I was younger. I also love how this looks like a painting, but its a photograph. I think the only rule of photography evident is framing. Im not sure if thats correct or not. Im assuming the wildlife/forrest is surrounding the Gorilla. He uses a Pentax 67ll. Nick Brandt took the photos because the world is under terrible threat. He believes every human or nonhuman has the right to live, and he feels that every living thing is equal. He wants to appreciate the animals and their beauty before they are gone. People take pictures of themselves and other unimportant things, but they won't focus on Animals. "Brandt fell in love with the animals and land of East Africa".

Academics Shoot Reflection

The challenges I faced when taking these pictures is forgetting the categories I was supposed to be focused on. I also forgot that these were about academics. I took pictures outside a classroom than in a classroom. I was really focused on taking pictures good. I tried to focus the camera to the object or person I was shooting for before I took a picture. I learned my lesson from the beginning of the year. If I had the assignment again, I could focus on the academics more, like I can take a picture of a calculator on a desk for simplicity. I would keep the "non-blurryness" the same. I took good focused photographs. The easiest rule to achieve will probably be simplicity. Its not that hard. It depends though. Balance or framing will probably be the hardest. Im not too sure on Balance. I think I'm having the wrong idea for it. Im gonna find out soon so I will be aware of it.

Academics Shoot

Rule of Thirds-

I followed the rule somewhat. The lady isn't in one of the tic tac toe points, but she's the only person in the photograph. It might be clear to people what the subject is, they might say its simplicity. I didn't follow the rule that much because she's not in one of those points, but its not so bad. The subject is the woman, she is looking directly at the camera, and the viewer can make eye connection with her. 

Avoiding Mergers-

This is kinda Avoiding Mergers. The boy next to the girl reading her book is sitting up, which makes the girl have another body. The photograph isn't really clear to people what the subject is. I don't know what else they could say, but this is hard. the subject is focused on the two students, binding into each other. I kinda did follow the rule on this photograph.

Framing-

This is somewhat framing. The poles surround the man with the hose. I somewhat followed the rule, I think I did. People will probably agree that this is framing, but some might not. The subject is based on the man. The framing is the poles and the man is in the middle of them. I could've improved if i got closer to avoid the school and the brick wall. 

Lines-

I didn't follow the rule for this. This isn't academics. I could've improved by that, and by at least zooming into the lines on the rail. People can probably tell what this is. The subject is the rail, having lines for the category. I could've done better on this.

I followed the rule for this one. But this isn't academics. The subject is the squished pair. there is a solid background, and you notice the pair first. People can tell what category this would be. I did do a good job, but I had to do academics. 

I didn't really follow the rule on this category. I forgot about balance. The lockers kinda are the same height so they sorta balance. I could've improved on this because once again, this isn't balance. Students might get what category this would be. The subject are the lockers, they're all the same height and people can tell that.

The Story-

The story behind this I'm assuming is that there is still hope in humanity. The high schoolers are feeding the homeless, rather than adults would. Teens are doing good at a young age, and that brings hope to me in people.

Action and Emotion-

You can see the emotion on the two teenage girls that they are surprised. They were probably doing an experiment, and the girl on the right seems happy. They're having a good time.

Filling the frame- 

I found this photograph the most interest because it consists of myself that I try hard in school to pass my classes. The interesting this also is the student's facial expression. You can't tell if she is really concentrated on her work, or if she is really tired. Maybe both.

I picked this photograph because I like how the two different beakers make one color. I find it interesting. Balance is somewhat used, colors also.
