Annie Leibovitz
best known for her engaging portraits, particularly of celebrities . Leibovitz's photo of John Lennon  and yoko , taken five hours before Lennons murder , is considered one of Rolling Stones  magazine's most famous cover photographs.she’s done photos for vanity fair, Rolling Stone magazine and vogue . In this photo she’s photographed the iconic Kate moss in decked out in diamonds and bare faced . This photo is beautiful, the black and white effect stops the diamonds from taking away the beauty of her features. The lighting allows the viewer to really look at every little detail. The shadows also give Kate a more detailed and defined look .  I love this photo and Annie’s work in general. Some people say the photography of Annie Leibovitz could be seen as a metaphor for Visual Culture. All her photography comments on her time and its people, whether a fantasy shoot for Vogue Magazine, political portraiture for Borak Obama, or images of war-torn Sarejevo.

an American artist whose work consists primarily of self portraits depicting herself in many different contexts and as various imagined characters. In most of her photographs she has a completely different look and feeling . She’s started photography around the 1980s and you can see the different fashion and style throughout them Photos . she  focused more on costumes , lighting and facial expression.the photo ( untitled #48) gives of a dark theme almost creepy . The black and white making everything a lot more gothic .

we create this low key image using a black background with a light source and we could control how much light was allowed into the image. using a flash also we was able to create the low key effect which I feel adds definition to the burger. I would love to do more things like this because the making of the burger was fun too.

This picture tells a big story . It sets a scene from what life was truly like back in 1954 , Vivian maier has captured a group of children with no worries playing and laughing around a broken fire hydrant in the streets of New York City . I personally love old fashioned photos in black and white as it leaves it to your imagination to visualise what colour clothes they was wearing or the colours of the cars parked on the streets . I think most of Vivian’s photographs captured the true beauty of life just Radom people doing random daily activities the fact she was a nanny who took these photos in her spare time just adds to the charm behind these photos . She used a Rolleiflex 3.5T, Rolleiflex 3.5F, Rolleiflex 2.8C, Rolleiflex Automat and other cameras throughout her life she became quite good at capturing random moments in time . I think anyone who has a passion for history and photography would love her work .

He focused on the trivial and absurd realities of consumer culture and projects, often photographing strange objects, and taking tight detail shots as one would do for a magazine shoot. But instead of being classic and beautiful, the objects in Parr's photographs look strange and almost ridiculous.

Ansel Adams was a photographer born in 1902 and died in 1984. This is important because in this time period the cameras used were not like the cameras used today. An example of the camera he used is in the photo above this. This photo is made even more impressive by the fact that Ansel would of have to carry his camera up to the hight where he took the picture. Your eyes are drawn in by the leading line that is the river.

In this time period, not many people would have seen these sort of landscapes so Ansel was giving other people an insight into the world that he sees by capturing there images. The image is captured in black and white as his preferred method and is landscape. I think this was the best outcome of the photo because you can see more of the mountainous range which gives a better image and you can see all of the snow on top of the mountains because it is black and white which makes it stand out more.

Dovima looks very elegant, whereas the elephants are chained and dirty contrasting the poverty and the wealthy. It would have been unusual at this time to see models anywhere other than the studio so it's different to a lot of other photographs you would see from this time. This photo can make you feel sorry for the elephants because you can see the harsh conditions they live in compared to Dovima. this photo is in black and white and is portrait. but it is possible that is was originally landscape and has been cropped due to the elephants being cut off.

following on from week 3&5, I was testing out other ideas and other ways to display these objects. introducing the teddy allowed me to stand some things against it and/or place things onto it. the added pink nose adds a bit more resemblance to the pink hat and makes it look more pleasing to the eye. also taking the image with a dynamic angle to see it from a different perspective.

# data[].attributes.body
Stepping back and evaluating is there is too much in the image. Is the placement ok? Is there too much going on? questions I was asking myself until I came to the conclusion that the pink hat and pink nose was too much for the look I was going for.

# data[].attributes.body
Removing the hat I think was the best option because in an otherwise black and white photo (apart from the small pink nose) it's very distracting from the rest of the photo. the small pink nose on the teddy works just swell to tell the story of the photo which is that these are items from a baby girl.

following on from week 3. although I liked the final image I still wanted to see if there was anything I could improve on so I tried switching the placements again to make the hat stand up, I don't think this worked too well because the other items are quite flat so it was hard to get details on all of them.

# data[].attributes.body
again trying new positions but it wasn't turning out how I would of hoped.

# data[].attributes.body
realising that they worked better together laying flat, I tried to recreate this again, while trying to make it a bit different in a line rather then in a triangle like the last final image which I still think works better because its more pleasing to the eye with that shape.

test shot 1... these 3 items were captured in a light box. these items are very important to me the hospital band if from my first child and the scan picture also. the black feather is representative of change as this was one of the biggest changes in my life. in terms of the picture I don't think this turned out very well because it is over exposed and you can't see much of the details on anything. and I was still working on the placements.

# data[].attributes.body
This image was created using a dark room and the torches on our phones. The subject was sat still on a chair while lights were moved around them, this coupled with a 25 second long exposure allowed for this effect.

# data[].attributes.body
test shot 2... in this image I was still trying to figure out the placement of them as you can see they are different from test shot 1, but not by much. I think this one is too dark as opposed to test shot 1 which was too bright.

test shot 3... I removed the hospital band and feather and tried a different approach by adding some colour into the images. this time also adding in my second born Childs scan and hat as well as my first borns hat. I did like the idea of this but I feel like both of the colours clashed together as they were the only colour in an otherwise black and white image. this image again was also very dark and lacked detail.

we created these images with a dancer, a flash and fabric. while the dancer moved with the fabric our cameras were on an exposure of 3 seconds. at the end of the 3 seconds the flash went off which freezes the image creating this effect.

Emma Louise (Lou) Page (1970-2013) was an Edinburgh resident and charity worker who was diagnosed with bone cancer and died in 2013. The image boldly presents her as both defiant and vulnerable facing death. Although known for his celebrity images, this photograph was part of an exhibition project, ‘Alive: In the Face of Death’, which documented many less well-known figures. His project is, in many ways, inspired by the critic and writer, Susan Sontag, who wrote: ‘To take a photograph is to participate in another person’s mortality. Precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it, all photographs testify to time’s relentless melt.’

photographed with fists defiantly clenched and make-up streaming down her face.

"The crying shot is very much how it feels internally for me," says the 42-year-old. "That's what it's like inside my head.

"I've hidden that part of myself from everybody all these years so people have felt quite shocked by that image.

"But at the same time, they know I'm protecting and hiding things from them, and they've come to understand that's what it's like for me in reality."

The defiance, strength and vitality on show are striking - perhaps because we are more used to the stereotypical image of the cancer 'victim'.

"That was a surprise to me," says Rankin. "So many people look really healthy who are really, really ill.

In Alive: In The Face Of Death, photographer Rankin set out to explore and challenge our perceptions of death. Through his lens, the stories of those touched by death are revealed. They included people living with a terminal illness, those who have faced death and survived, and those who work within the death industry.

we created these images in a theatre where dances performed moves while holding flour. there was 2 standing lights and a spotlight also. our cameras were on continuous shooting which allowed us to capture multiple images of the same motion. I enjoyed doing this project because it was a beautiful performance to watch and capture and I hope to do more work like this in the future.

David has created art from two famous icons Amanda lepore posing as Marilyn Monroe but in the version of the actress made by Andy Warhol’s. There’s a lot of bright colours used that usually would Contradict with each other from mustard yellows to pastel blues and finally ruby red which overall makes this piece stand out when the viewer is looking at it. The use of a high contrast and harsh lighting to make the colours and detail really stand out works well with the shadows from that the hair creates. He has used the same colour theme of pastel blue in the background to really make the yellow-coloured hair take full effect.The overall editing of this photo to almost make it look fake is perfect to give that “messy painted but blemish free look “I think David’s idea of how beauty standards are very different and unusual is fascinating. He’s depicted Fake lips, porcelain skin and tiny eyebrows and the obvious famous beauty spot, I love how he’s mixed Marilyn’s old fashioned simple beauty with exaggerated drag queen beauty. On first glance of this photo, I just see chaos but perfection.

To create these images we placed our cameras onto a tripod, because a 20 second exposure was used it needed to be completely still or it would blur. Steel wool was added into a cage and attached to a dog lead. Alan then swung the cage all around which is how these effects came out like a spiral. They remind me of a Catherine wheel. I love how the burning wool hitting the ground looks on these pictures and I think it draws your eyes in more

test shot 4... as this image was taken in a light box there is a hole at the top of the box so I tried to take the image above this to sort of get a frame to the items. in a way I feel this worked how I expected but the image is still dark and the blue and pink still clash together.

# data[].attributes.body
This was shot 1. To some extent it did come out ok. however we tried to improve this image in later shots as we thought the lights should come together so it looks sharper and to ensure the subject is in focus.

first attempt on photoshop to try and erase the dirt/paper creases in the background. overall I think it turned out ok but maybe next time I would make sure the sonogram was in clear focus so that it doesn't end up with shadows/disfigured lines.

test shot 5... I tried to take one set of hat and scan out to combat the colours clashing and bring back in the hospital band so that the images have a bit more to them. I feel like this work out better then the previous ones. however I am not sure on the placements and it is too dark.

test shot 7... tried moving to a low key environment to see how it worked or if it worked out better however I think it was the wrong items for low key. no detail was able to be seen and overall it just didn't work.

this was the final image from this series of images. this was taken in a light box like the others but with a higher exposure. you are able to see the details more clearly and I'm happy with the placement of them

This is shot 2. In my opinion this came out well because the colours intwined well and the subject is a lot more in focus.

we created this series of images by getting a fish tank full of water and injecting acrylic paint slowly while taking continuous pictures with our camera on a tripod to get the different stages. overall I think these worked out well because you're clearly able to see the progression of the paint combining in the water.
