The subject matter on which I am doing this assignment on is a piece of photography. This piece was done by a local photographer Greg Hill. He accordingly named his work “Pierre Pressure”. This piece of photography captures a pierre and its surroundings in Sebastian, Florida. Above the pierre is the focal point of the artwork, a breath-taking Florida sunset. The sunset is constructed of various hues of pink, orange, and yellow. The alluring sunset is ever so slightly hidden by a veil of oddly formed clouds. The water at the bottom of the photograph reflects the beguiling beauty of the sky. To the left side of the print stands the pierre. The pierre itself is in much darker lighting than the rest of the subject matter. The subject matter in…
In this paper we have to analysis one of Ansel Adams photographs in order to identify the visual argument that Ansel Adams is trying to portray through his photograph. We are trying to pull out key details in the photograph to truly understand what Adams wants us to really know about this historical event and why this photograph was shot the way it was. The photograph that I choose to take a deeper look at was "Line Crew at Work in Manzanar". I choose this photograph because I felt that it had the most details that I could pull out to come up with my final thesis statement.…
Low angle shows power. In this photo it is Ali with the power. On the flip side, it can show weakness which is Sonny Liston on the ground. The long shot is key for this picture. Long shot shows action. Ali had knocked Liston down seconds before this was shot. If this photo wasn’t in long shot, it wouldn’t have the full effect because to appreciate the greatness of Muhammad Ali displayed in the photo you need to see Liston in clear pain and shock while flailed out on the ground.…
Up until 1978, Leifer photographed just sports for Sports Illustrated Magazine. Leifer was one of the only two photographers with color film in his camera. When Ali knocked out Sonny Liston in the heavyweight title fight, his image of the moment has become not just one of his most famous photos, but one of the most memorable sports photos of all time - seen by many as the greatest sports photograph in history. Leifer photographed seven Olympic Games for the magazine and is best known for having followed Muhammad Ali's career from beginning to end. 170 of his pictures have been published on the cover of Sports Illustrated.…
More often than not, it shows a solitary figure, an attractive man in his 20s, enacting a scene from an old-master painting. Dressed in contemporary garb — a hooded sweatshirt, perhaps, or a Denver Broncos jersey — the man might be crossing the Swiss Alps on horseback with the brio of Napoleon or glancing upward, prophet-style, golden light encircling his head.In layman’s terms, his art is a skilled remix. He rearranges racial power dynamics, conceptions of beauty, gender, and “the gaze.” It makes us think about pop iconography and the history of portraiture” Deborah, S (2015, January 28) Kehinde Wiley Puts a Classical Spin on His Contemporary Subjects The New York…
There exist many factors one might both examine and manipulate in order to create a photograph that creates more appeal and emotional impact than an image that has simply been “snapped”. I will consider several of these variables in an examination of a photograph of a military ceremony. The photographer in this instance took several steps to bring this image to life through careful and specific creation of composition elements, the use of a narrow lens, and focus manipulation.…

Furthermore, I researched about art of the 90’s and encountered with more liberal expressions and modern illustration with what people can disgust. At the end, I opine that Michael Jordan’s symbol can be one of timeless things of the 90’s, because his influence created an enormous transformation and increased popularity in the basketball world. His influence in this sport overvalued him that when people are asked about basketball some of them without any knowledge about it mention Michael Jordan. Victories and individual skills were the factors that increased his value but what it is taken into account here is not his performance, is the symbolic power he became for this sport, and his name is recognized all around the world that even people do not watch basketball identify him. Michael Jordan as role model has been exceptional, many athletes attempt to train like him and he is a symbol of motivation for sports’ world, his achievements were s outstanding, that he increased the popularity of basketball in United States and encouraged new people to watch this sport. His symbolic value increased when Nike decided to sponsor him by releasing the Jordan’s shoes, one of the most famous shoes models ever produced, which are sold out all the time and their price is expensive but people still buy…
“Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee” were words often said by Muhammad Ali and attributed to his success (“Life as Cassius Clay”). Muhammad Ali started his dream of becoming a world champion boxer at the start of his career. Muhammad had many high and low points as a young fighter trying to reach the top. Today, Muhammad is considered one of the greatest boxers to come. Muhammad Ali’s determination as a child is what led him to a successful career in both his middle life and adulthood.…
All of the three works represent as a main subject a human head: according to Benjamin’s idea, man’s countenance represented in early photography portraits was the only trace of the “aura” of a piece of art recognizable in the modern era. Benjamin describes the “aura” as the ability of an artwork to evoke a sense of authenticity and unreachability.…
Images come layered and are not strictly pictures of reality or fact. Therefore, images are not to be used as evidence as they are commonly used. It may be symbolic or manipulated according to the author. He argues that in any case ‘selection framing and personalization’ have always played an important role in photography. He further stresses that a viewer should always take into consideration how a particular scene or image was framed.…
In 2017, we are constantly consumed by photography, we sometimes forget the power a photograph can have. A photograph can represent or misrepresent, someone or something - an object, a person, an event. A photograph is based on the perceptive of the photographer. A photograph is the visual representation of a moment in time. Photography is about memories and history. History in a textbook is not necessarily the only truth. Personal histories are the truth, but universal history comes from different perceptive and we can not necessarily say one history is the only truth.…

For my assignment I contacted five persons three of them were of Hispanic background. One of them was a white person and the other one an African American. I showed them the picture and all were kind to accept to help me with the assignment. They all had similar descriptions and also very different words to qualify the work to be done. They all agreed that the picture portrait a male, of middle age from African American background. The first traits that came to people’s perception were those that had to do with the physical appearance of the male in the photograph. Those traits that describe best the person were those who define the individual with his color of skin, his age, his complexity, his gender; then they describe, what was the perception they had; due to what the individual was doing on the ground. And finally they tried to guess what he was doing in that position.…
