Lisette was raised Catholic, but before she was two years old, the family changed its name to from Stern to Seybert because of increasing anti-Semitism.1 Lisette Model began her creative life as a student of music.

I find interesting about people coming to the U.S. to see what we have and what type of jobs they can get. I enjoy seeing that type of life get a document to show that not only America soil, it for everyone that is welcome. As I know that someone already photographs a full of people on board for a better life and show it to the world that we love to see different faces with a happy smile that I will love to photograph. That's why I had chosen Lisette Model as she was an immigrant to the U.S. to thrive her passion for the city of New York where she photographs tons of people in her camera and becoming more popular with the image she

    Henri Cartier-Bresson

    He can easily be called the father of modern photojournalism. He helped popularize 35 mm film by capturing candid photographs. He used a 35mm Leica with a 50mm lens. The camera was quite small, which allowed the photographer to move easily among people. Cartier-Bresson’s influence can also be seen in street photography and real life reportage. In many interviews Bresson explained his focus was initially geometry and worked with the golden ratio frequently. Over his career he photographed many diverse subjects, “He was there for the Spanish Civil War and the Chinese revolution. He documented George VI's coronation and told the story of Khrushchev's Russia. His subjects ranged from Che Guevara to Marilyn Monroe, while his magazine clients ran the gamut, including not just Life, but Harper's Bazaar, Vogue and many others.” After some of the photographers travels he returned to France in 1952 to published his first book, The Decisive Moment. A quote by Cartier-Bresson that describes the concept of the decisive moment thoroughly is “To take photographs means to recognize– simultaneously and within a fraction of a second– both the fact itself and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that give it meaning.” Cartier-Bresson tells the importance of “the fact itself” the subject matter and “rigorous organization of perceived forms” composition,…

    The photographer I chose to do my report on is a man by the name of Walker Evans. He was born on November 4th, 1903 in St. Louis, Missouri. He was from a wealthy family and attended the Andover Academy as well as Williams College studying literature. He didn’t finish his studies. Instead he left school and moved to New York. It was here that he found himself socializing in the art and literary community. He was associated with many well known writers, poets and artists and became close friends Evans became interested in photography sometime around 1928 which ultimately led to lifelong passionate career. In 1933 he spent some time Cuba where he photographed the rebellion against the dictator that ran the country. After that he took on a job with the Resettlement Association and the Farm Security Administration where for the FSA he was sent on an assignment to Alabama with writer James Agee. This assignment led to, Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, a book written by Agee and illustrated with Evan’s pictures, being published in 1941. The book was about 3 families that the two studied on their assignment together. In 1938 walker had his very first exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, this was also the first time an exhibition had been dedicated to only one photographer at the museum. That same year walker also took to photographing the subways in New York. These pictures eventually were brought together in a book titled, Many Are Called. In 1945 walker went to work writing for Time Magazine and later became an editor at Walker died on April 10th, 1975 at the age of 71. When he died his work was given to the Museum of Modern Art in New York with the exception of about a thousand pictures which are now at the library of congress. The reason I chose to do my report on Walker Evans is because I have always really liked his work but the only thing I really knew about him was that he traveled around the country during the time of the Great Depression…

    His father died in 1827 and his mother remarried a year later. Due to his mother’s remarrying, Baudelaire was no longer the sole focus of his mother which deeply affected him. He received his degree in 1839 from Lycée Louis-le-Grand in Paris. His stepfather wanted him to pursue a career in law, but instead, Baudelaire chose the literary career. Throughout Baudelaire’s life, he completed many literary works and became a French symbolist poet and art critic. Although Baudelaire travelled very little and his knowledge of painting was limited to what he could see in Paris, he presented a highly sophisticated aesthetic theory of beauty. Baudelaire has two important themes which are the attractiveness of fashion and pleasure of the present. He was extremely interested in modern art and how he believes one has to be fully engaged in the contemporary world and be an observer of the present. Through his theory, he explains that there is no pure presence because every experience carries along earlier experiences. In Baudelaire’s essay, he defines a flaneur who is an ideal modern artist because they are the observer, philosopher, moralist, traveller and novelist who records moment. This means drawing from what you remember and putting your own experience within the art. The product then becomes individual to one’s…
