Annotation of My Own Photo Montage
By looking at this photo montage you can see a female in
a deserted area. The image shows that she has nowhere to go. This shows that
there is darkness and misery by looking at the background. Looking at the female,
you can tell she is in deep thought of sorrow. It looks like there is a full
tied coming in. By looking at this montage you can tell the creator of the montage
has taken a lot of time to create this image. The creator wanted to show a lot of
feeling and emotion throughout the image. You can tell there have been several
images that have been blended in together. The creator wanted to catch the viewer’s
eye in order to get them thinking why this female is sitting alone in a
deserted place without any clothes. She could have been abused or homeless. The
jewellery could be a sign of a memory that all she has left.
Annotation of A Photo Montage
Hannah Hoch has created this photomontage to show to the society
about where they stand as an agenda and women's sexuality. Hannah has used a
number of photographs from magazines or newspapers to make this montage. The photographs
she used were from the company she worked for. This photo montage was aimed to
the government rising questions behalf of all the woman agenda. The image shows
that Hannah has taken her time to put the pieces together blending in the
different types of colour. She must have glued them to a paper cutting out the photography’s
of different areas to represent the society. I think she has picked the
photographs very carefully in order to get her message across to the government.
She has used very little amount of text to describe her photo montage. As far
as my knowledge goes in those times the photos were black and white but looking
at this photograph it has a touch of colour to it.
Weegee
Weegee was born in
Złoczów now known as Zolochive, Ukraine.
He has worked alongside of other commercial photographers doing different types
of jobs. He decided to leave his old job in 1935 and he decided to become a
freelance photographer. He worked at night and competed with the police to be
first at the scene of a crime. In 1957, He developed diabetes, he then moved in
with Wilma Wilcox, who was a social
worker whom he had known since the 1940s, she had cared for him and then cared
for his work. He travelled widely
in Europe until 1968, working alongside the Daily Mirror and
on a variety of photography shoots.
Most of
his photographs were taken with very basic press photographer equipment and
methods of the era, he used a 4x5 Speed Graphic camera present
at f/16 at 1/200 of a second, with flashbulbs and a set focus
distance of ten feet. He developed his photographs in a homemade darkroom
in the rear of his car. This provided an instant result to his work that highlighted
the nature of the tabloid industry and gave the images a “hot off the press”
feeling.
Rut Blees Luxemburg
Rut Blees Luxemburg works
with photography in order to investigate the significance of the modern project
on the city. Her large-scale photographic works expand the concept in relation
to urban public space and representation. Her work has been exhibited
internationally, most recently at the Rencontres d'Arles, Photo month Krakow
and Digital Arts Centre, Taipei. In her photographic work she brings to light
the overlooked and the unforeseen which creates immersive and exposed
compositions that challenge prevailing representations of the city.
The projects by Rut Blees
Luxemburg are located in the urban complex and series include Liebeslied /My Suicides (London), Phantom (Dakar) and Black Sunrise (New York). Her photographs have been
exhibited.
I like the style of
photography techniques she has followed and will like to create wonderful
images like her. Looking at her photos she has created a montage using various
types of reflection and lighting to compose several images together. You can
tell by looking at her montage that she has taken a lot of time to create her
final look in her montage.
Q&A on ISO
Which film is more sensitive to light, ISO 100 or ISO 400
film?
·
The ISO 400 is sensitive to light.
Which film is more likely to allow a fast shutter speed
in low light?
·
A higher ISO is required to get a faster shutter
speed in a low light situation.
Which film would you use in very bright sunlight?
·
In a bright sunlight it would depend on the
environment which you are in.
Which film would you use when working in low light
conditions?
·
You would need to have an ISO 400 or more to
match the light conditions that you are in.
Give an ISO setting suitable for recording fine detail
with little grain?
·
You would be using ISO 100 to get less grainy in
your images.
Holocaust World War 2
In this image you can see dead bodies that have been left
for days after the starvation that took place in Germany, as you can see that
the bodies are decomposing on the streets. According to the photographer many of
the people have been shot dead by Gestapo men at the camp. Many of the people among
the dead were slaves who were captured to do slavery for them and if they
refused them would have been beaten up and no food will be given to them. This photography
tells a story about what happened and why it took place. You can see most of
the people in the photograph are out of focus this might be due to the type of
photo the photographer wanted to capture. You can also see that the buildings
on the left hand side have been badly damaged due to the war that took place at
the time the incident people who died. The fences on the right hand side show
the effect of the war. The dead bodies
have been place in all different directions. You can see people walking down
the rows in between. These people can be survivors or the army. In my opinion this looks like a wide angle
shot that has been cropped in to show the people who died in focus. This image
shows the rule of third in my opinion and the frame is filled. I think this
image was captured by a F/8 with a shallow depth of field.
