photo essay ideas

I think the one i want to do is "The narrated documentary".
i think that's the one where you take photos about what your doing and where you are.
What i think I'm going to do is photograph my weekend with Candice because we practically hang out almost every weekend so i think it would be cool to shoot that, mainly because we usually end up doing the same thing every weekend or something that is similar and its always fun. so yeah most likely the title may be "weekend traditions with Candice" or something like that? :]]

1.The staged illustration (Traditional)
2. I picked two pictures for this one because i really like both.
the first one is about income tax and how hectic they can be while the second one shows how under the sea can be a real adventure!
3. i liked the first one because its eye popping with the letters, numbers and signs coming from small to big and the man who looks stressed is blue.
The second one is pretty funny i think and random. i like it, it really does show what it illustrates.

1.The composite image
2.The photo try's to mix old devices such as records with modern technology like ipods.

Following Concepts

Zone Focus-Finding a spot to focus in and waiting for whatever your shooting to get into that spot!

Shutter Speed- If getting a shot with lots of movement, shoot at a high shutter speed and a good amount of light. If inside lower the shudder speed because there isn't much light indoors.

Panning- When you fallow the subject while keeping them in focus. This technique can give you a good blur. And is pretty tricky to get it right the first time.

Waiting for the Pause- Basically self explanatory. You wait for a paused moment while the subject is in action, then soot.

I like # 16 because of the angle its in. The light comes in through the left side of the photo letting the right side of the building being lit up, while the other side of the building is in shadow. i also like how patterns form in different angles of the. And how everything is symmetrical. The focus of the picture is set right because there is no blurs.

Gordon Parks

By:Gordon Parks
Malcolm X Addressing Black Muslim Rally in Chicago1963

This picture is formal and informal because he is dressed up but then hes not posing or looking directly into the camera. This is a hard lighting portrait; the light is shining on the right side of his face. To create this effect you would have to have your subjected in the dark and have a powerful light in a cirtain area of the room or in some sort of angle?!

Langston Hughes Poems

Merry-Go-Round

Where is the Jim Crow section On this merry-go-round, Mister, cause I want to ride?Down South where I come from White and colored Can't sit side by side। Down South on the train There's a Jim Crow car। On the bus we're put in the back—But there ain't no back To a merry-go-round! Where's the horse For a kid that's black? Langston Hughes
i read for about 20 minutes.

Esquire
(May 1969)
One of the most iconic of Art Director George Lois’s creations, the May 1969 cover of Esquire juxtaposed the celebration of pop culture while deconstructing celebrity. The image of a drowning Andy Warhol was a friendly spoof of the artist’s famous Campbell Soup artwork, a pervading symbol of the Pop Art movement.

word critique
i really like this one because it expresses what Andy Warhol is about! He was know for painting a big picture of Campbell soup and called it pop art! So the picture of him drowning in the can represents what hes know for and does. plus its a really neat picture. The lighting of the picture seems to be coming from behind him in the picture,casting a light shadow in front of him

Cover History

Cover types
1. Early Magazine Covers
2. The Poster Cover
3. Pictures Married to Type
4. In the Forest of Words

In the early magazine covers they tend to model them after book covers and they didn't really apply to whats inside sometimes they even put the table of contents on the front page. Sometimes they would just put symbols for their covers.
In the poster cover magazines they had no cover lines and their covers looked like they were meant to be up and framed on a wall. And most covers would probably be art or one big photograph! their cover lines would most likely be found at the bottom of the magazine. so many magazines took toward their covers in the early part of the 20Th century.
In pictures married to type magazines relied heavily on cover lines to draw readers inside the magazine, their covers were often symbolic and were related to issues. they often had large titles and models on the front page in certain positions with cover lines right beneath them and the covers would be colorful and nice.
In the forest of words, the magazines had lots of words on the cover with art and photographs some with more exposed models and the main cover consist on what was going to be inside of the magazine rather then just having a cover not related to anything on the inside.
