Portraits

Portraits use to be for the rich and the famous before cameras was introduce. it was mainly paintings but that all change when the first cameras first came in to fashion and in to our knowledge of a another great machine which revolution of technology.
 

One of the most famous Portrait Photographers. Her name was Diana Arbus. she famously took pictures of the Matthaei Family. She got ask to take the family picture by invitation but she keep questioning herself about why she was pick to take the pictures. She may never of found what she wanted which was a good photo because she committed suicide on 26th  July 1971 she was 48 years old. Her Technique was unique, she went out to fine real emotion what people show when off camera. she was not in to taking any old picture, she wanted to take art, she would go into the wild off her imagination. She would take pictures of people off their guard, unknowing or just take it quick with out letting the person time to pose or show the emotion they want. she would just take high class people she would walk in to slums of New York, Homeless people or young children in Central park or ordinary families in their home. 
the pictures i have featured are some of the most famous pictures captured by Diana Arbus.

First picture is of a giant in his family flat. i think they know she is around by need sure when she gonna take the picture.

The second picture is of a little boy in central park in New York City. i think the way Diana took this picture is by stopping him and just take the picture before he can chose a pose.The way he has his hands looks like he is in a frustrated mood because of Diana stopped him playing to take a photo of him. I think Diana liked this photo because of the organic range of emotion the little boy.

The third one is the one of the best portrait of the 20th centuray it is of one of the Matthaei family this is of Marcello Matthaei one of the family youngest daughter.this was one where Diana didn't tell Marcello she is taking the picture. just the pure emotion shown in this one picture changes the face of portraits forever.

The Execution

                                     Eddie Adams

This is one of most famous war photo from vietnam. to me the better way to make a point about vietnam war is the video because it show your more emotions before and after the photo has been taken where as the picture show you desieve moment for the south vietnam police captain and the suspected viet cong. it is the desisve moment or the man who got shot because it is his last moment on planet earth and it is being pictured to show to millions around the world for entertainment,art,informed and to be teached around the globe in history lessons. it also the desive moment for the police captain because it is due to this picture which destroy his life because he didnt gave the veit cong suspect a fair trial or even arrested him. he shot him to impress the american soilder who is seen behind, this is to prove a point that he along with some other people wants the americans to stay to keep them safe from the veit cong.

introduction to me

I like to use my phone to take pictures because I find it easier to carry around and much lighter than other cameras. I like to take picture of everything but mainly sport,family and friends but i love capturing the moment with a camera. I am hoping top get out of this more decisive moments.
