Mural Photos

Great Black and White Photography Part 3

1.) What first caught your eye while looking at your photographers photos? Is there something in particular that made you want to choose them?

What first caught my eye about Max Waldman's photos is that they were all mostly about dancing and how dedicated these dancers looked and showed off their amazing talent.

2.) I see that the dancer, Natalie getting into the music.  She dances with great passion and dedication. As she hits a pose, I snap the picture and capture a great photo of Natalie dancing.
     I smell the hairspray that all the dancers are wearing. All the perfume in the air of the audience and performances.
     I hear the stomps when the dancers land from doing a type of jump. The sound of the audience being amazed of what the performance are doing.
     I taste the perfume of the audience.
     I feel the excitement of the audience and the nervousness of the performers.

3.) I would like to create posters and signs of both of the really great talents, Waldman's photographs and the dancers/performers. It would really get other peoples attention by seeing something so original and different. It also shows off their passion towards what they love to do.

Mural Project Perview

1. A theme I would use for the mural is passion, as in someone being passionate for music, dancing, singing, art, sports, and etc.

2. This theme is worth devoting for because it has to do with what people are passionate about and what they love to do, and to show their talent.

3. The advantages of using a phone camera is being able to take a photo wherever you are at as long as you have the phone, but the disadvantages is that you might not be able to get as good as picture as a professional camera would.

4. Some of the advantages of using and SLR is getting better pictures then phone cameras would take and being able to make adjustments to it.

5. I think we should use SLR because it would be better quality and more options of doing other things with it.

Africa

I really like this photo because of the way the two lions are acting and the close up of it, there was many good pictures but this one caught my eye.

I would say avoiding merges and simplicity, because nothing is being cut out, and the background is clear.

a. Nick Brandt used a Pentax 6711with only two fixed lenses.
b. He took this pictures because a trilogy of books to memorialize the vanishing natural of East Africa.
c. His photography bears little relation to the colour documentary-style wildlife photography that is the norm.
d. "You wouldn't take a portrait of a human being from a hundred feet away and expect to capture their spirit; you'd move in close."
