Henri Cartier-Bresson

Henri Cartier-Bresson was a French photographer considered to be the father of modern photojournalism. He was an early adopter of 35 mm format, and the master of candid photography. He was born on August 22, 1908. He died on  August 3, 2004. He was born in France and too beautiful pictures. All his pictures are black and white, and to be honest they're really weird. There pictures of random crazy stuff and I love it. Below are three pictures that I really liked.

 

 This picture is so cute! Its so romantic and mysterious. I love how the umbrella covers their faces, leaving you wondering whats happening.

 

 This picture is really cool. I like how its a spiral of little heads of children.

I fell in love with this picture because its so romantic and the Eiffel Tower is right behind them. The tower just makes the whole picture.

Michael Carroll

Michael Carroll was an American photographer that changed the world when he went to Romania. He made a move called "Hand Held" that showed people how life was hard in Romania. He went to Romania during the Revolution to find the truth. While he was their he went to a orphanage and saw what the kids were going through. Parents would just go to the orphanage and just drop off their child their. When Michael was their he saw that the kids had diseases, and they would let them die because there was nothing they could do. Michael saw their difficulties and wanted to help. He started an organization called "Romanian Children Relief" to help them. During the years he has helped them by giving them cloths, toys, blankets, etc. Romania has  defiantly improved and got better because of him. He made people see that they needed help and people did help. Orphanages in Romania still suffer some problems. Parent still put their child up for adoption because they are very poor. Romania is a very poor county, If they cant feed themselves how are they going to feed another person? The only thing that has changed I think is the disease, there is less diseases going around. Also more people know now that they can adopt a child in Romania because in the past no one knew about it. 'Hand Held" really touched me emotionally. I thought it was a beautiful movie and it definitely touches the heart of whoever is watching it.

Below here are some pictures that he took in Romania.

Ansel Adams

Ansel Adams was a photographer and an environmentalist. He was known for black and white landscape photos of the American West. He took some really great photos and it inspired me to take some landscape photos too. What I like best about my photos are that look like a professional took them and love that you can edit them to make it even more beautiful. For this assignment my only problem was finding a spot to take my pictures, but other than that I had fun. I think I could improve on finding a better spot to take the pictures. I could of gone to the boulevard and taken some better pictures. This assignment really helped how to take landscape photos and I had a lot of fun.

Lewis Hine

Lewis Hine was an American sociologist and photographer. He used his camera as a tool for social reform. His photos changed child labor law in the United States. He was born September 26, 1874 and died November 3 1930. Hine took pictures of a lot of kids during his lifetime and it really shows how the days were back then.

Walker Evans

Walker Evans was an American photographer. He was born November 3, 1903 in ST. Louis. Evans died April 10,1975 when he was 72 years old. He was known for his farm photos. Also he took pictures during the Great Depression. His photos documented the Great Depression.

             I like this picture because it shows how the farms looked like during the Great Depression.

     I like this picture because of the building. Its very old fashioned and the streets are empty and calm.

I like this picture because it reminds me of church. It looks completely different than from the ones now.

Ansel Adams

Ansel Adams was a photographer and an environmentalist. He's known for his black and white landscape photos of the American West. He was born on February 20th in 1902 and dyed on April 22 1984. Down here are my 3 favorite pictures that he took.

I like the way the snow looks on the mountains because it reminds me of powdered sugar on pastries.

I like this picture because you can see the marks of the river on the rocks. 

 I like this picture because of how the light of the sun cuts through the cloud and light up the mountains.

Harlod Ederton took pictures of shutter speed. They are really cool because (example) if you jump and take a picture you can see them in the air. Down here I took pictures of Alexis jumping and they are my favorite ones, they look really cool. The steps I took to take theses pictures was I had Alexis jump up and I would take the picture. I did have some troubles with this assignment because sometimes when she would jump I wouldn't take the pictures fast enough. How I could improve my images is not make them blurry. Some of the pictures I took came out blurry and you couldn't see them. What I learned from this assignment was shutter speed and how to use it.

Paul Strand Assess.

Paul Strand took pictures of shadows a lot. Most of his pictures are of shadows, so I went outside and took some pictures of shadows that I could find. Below here are my tree favorite ones.

Imogen Cunningham

Imogen Cunningham is photographer that took close pictures of stuff. She usually took pictures of flowers and they are beautiful. Imogen was born on April 12 in 1886, and dyed in June 24, of 1976. She was known for her botanical photography and nudes.

                      I like this picture because it looks like their dancing and they are really into it.

                        I like this picture because it looks like the flower is almost ready to blossom.

I like this picture because it looks the one on top and it bloomed into a beautiful flower.

Close Up Shots

Imogene took close up of flowers and it inspired me to take some close ups of flowers too. What I like best about my images are that they look beautiful in color and even better in black and white. I didn't have any problems with this assignment. I actually thought it was fun taking close ups of these beautiful flowers. I think I could of improved on taking better close ups, I could of found a better angle to take these pictures. This assignment taught me how to take close up pictures with flash and it has been my favorite assignment that we have done do far.

Paul Strand was an American photographer and filmmaker. He helped establish photography as an art form in the 20t century. Paul was born in New York in 1890. When he was 17 he started taking photography courses. In 1915 was when his career changed because he began to discover the intrinsic capabilities of the large format camera. From there and on his career went far, he went to school, did some films, and went around the world taking pictures. The 3 pictures below are my favorites that he took.

                               

                                                 
I love this picture because the little girl looks adorable but she also looks confused and doesn't know whats happening in the world right now.



                                    

I like this picture because it shows how hard life was back then and I like how they are just standing there doing nothing.

 

I like this picture because she looks cute and maybe dresses up to go to an event.
