PHOTOGRAPHY JOB HUNTING

The job that I found on Indeed was a Fashion Photographer. I found that interesting because I love fashion. Fashion is just a bunch of articles of clothing and you make it pretty and matched. The requirements for the job are at least 3 years in photography. You must be self-motivated and innovative thinker. The job requires you to be hardworking, organized and detail oriented. The job needs you to also have a strong knowledge with Photoshop and lightroom. This job sounds fun. If I had three years of experience I would signup but for now I can work on my skills.

Canon Lens Experience

One of the articles that I read was about Landscapes. The photographer said that when you are taking a picture of a landscape try to take your time. They said to try to get every aspect of the picture so you can enjoy the most. I think that sweet because you get to keep that picture and see every detail tat you want to last forever. The picture is supposed to be relaxing and smooth. When taking picture the focus should be on the entire thing and just one so it keeps the eye moving to make people want to go and visit.

Another article that I read was the Music Photographer. It is crazy that you can do two things at once. You can love music and go to their concerts and take picture to capture the moment. This photographer likes to take the picture it’s the natural state. The photographer sees an angle that they like, and they take the picture. They just get to go to concert and enjoy the music while taking a picture of the artist singing.

100 Inspiring Photos

This picture is inspiring because it is crazy how many rich people get together for an event. They are all having a good time and enjoying their life. They made it in life that is their peak. They get to party and capture those moments in life with other people that did the same thing. They all seem so happy to be there.

They all might not be friends but they enjoy where they are. They are present in that moment and want that night to be fun. It looks like a high school party and they are the “cool” kids who had so much fun together. That looks that the peak that everyone wants to be at, at some point in their life. Its just full of smiles and excitement.

SANDY SKOGLUND

I like this picture because of the color contrast. This picture suits well. It looks like the fish are in the ocean but at the same it doesnt. The boy could be dreaming about the fish and that hy he is in his bed.

WASSILY KANDINSKY

I like this abstract Wassily made because it reminds me of the third eye thing. It just looks like a bunch of eyes wondering what they are looking at. It reminds me of chakra and trying to balance energy.

SOCIAL ISSUE POSTER

The poster I made is about rape. My purpose of making the poster was to let people know that a victim of rape should never be blamed no matter what because no one asks to be raped. Why I feel like this is because the amount of people that get raped is astonish. No person should be afraid of coming out as a survivor from being raped. It is crazy how many people blame the victim and say, what were they wearing, do they want to destroy the rapist lives, etc. The arguments for it are that everyone who has ever gotten raped should feel comfort coming out as a survivor. They are never the ones to blame because they didn’t ask for it. They should stand as one know that there is so many people that understand them and know that they aren’t the bad guys in this situation. Consent is when they say yes, it doesn’t matter if they didn’t say yes, If the person didn’t say yes then the actions shouldn’t happen. The counter arguments against it will be like what was the person wearing. In reality it doesn’t matter what the person wearing. Women in hajibs, little kids in pajamas, women in sweats etc. still get raped. No matter if they are covered up or not the rapist will rape them sadly and rarely actions will be taken against the rapist. What influenced my decision to make a poster about victim blaming was to try to get more survivors to feel safe and be able to feel comfort in letting other know their story, so they don’t feel alone. The other side will try to blame the victim and say that the survivor will ruin the rapist lives but their lives should be ruined. Attacking one’s body mentally and physically should have their lives ruined. The reasoning of my choice is because I want to wear what I ant without having anybody say, “She is asking for it.” No person should ever feel like they can’t express themselves with clothes. People should stop blaming the survivor and blame the rapist because they have that thought in their head and the survivors are just walking by at the wrong time by the wrong person. My project does get the point across because it says the quotes the rapist would say and think of. The focal point of the poster is the girl having her head pinned on the wall by hand indicating forceful action.

WHY IS PHOTOGRAPHY SO IMPORTANT

Photography is important because you can capture any moment in time and keep in in place. Like for me if I take a picture of my family right now in a couple years, they won’t look the same, so I captured that moment in time of them. Photography has no age limit. You can take pictures of whatever you want because you take pictures of what you enjoy. In photography there is always something to learn. Photography connect with people who like your photography, so you get to meet new people all the time. You get to travel everywhere. You get to take picture wherever you want. You can take pictures all around the world to see these marvelous places.

You get to take picture of the people you love. You take picture of moments that you want to keep forever. You get to take pictures of birthdays, festivals, parties etc. There are no rules in photography you get to make your own story in photography. You get to collect all these memories you have taken in the world. One day you get to look back at those pictures and remember how those days were. The photography is your history. You get to se what life was back then. No matter what you take a picture of it becomes history to someone. Photography can help you make money so you could do something you love while making bank.

CRITIGUE LIST OF PHOTOGRAPHERS

Aaron R. Turner- I liked Aaron’s work he made the picture look unique. The picture is broken and so it makes it look old. The one on the left looks like it is older because it is blurry. It makes it look used and has a story behind it. The background give the pictures a story because maybe it is the place where the person was born or died.

Dionne Lee- The picture Dionne Lee took was so cool to look at. My eyekept moving. The way they made the picture look blurry and framed it into 6 parts of the picture she took. It looks like there is two hands from two different people. One of the hand look more gentle and soft and pale. The other hand is harsh, dark and, rough. The background suit the pictures framing because of the lines that go in each direction like the hands. It suits the blurriness of the picture.

WHY IS PHOTOGRAHY THE BEST JOB

Why would being a photographer be a great job? It would be fantastic job because all you have to do is take pictures of things you love an edit them. You are your own boss and you get to control how you want the picture to be perceived. You have your own time to do thing and have a flexible schedule. You can choose to take picture of what you like; for example: concerts, celebrities’, commercials, brands, clothing, etc. You as a photographer can make the shooting fun. You can play music while taking pictures. You can also play around with makeup and just make the picture how you see it in your mind. You can take picture of whatever you want and make it your own style.
