Canon Lens Experience

Donna Dotan started out within her job taking pictures of certain rooms where she worked.She is usually capturing sky scrapers.When begginning a project she will scout locations prior to that . It helps her find the areas that are the most detailed with the client . She is also been tasked with taking pictures of busy parts of new york whether it is the people or the cars or the buildings itself. This showed me that photography has many steps to it and preperation when taking a picture and how you analyze what you take a picture of .

Mike lerner a music photographer .He has worked as justin beibers tour photographer where he gets to travel from city to city and country to country. Before photography he worked jobs that he did not enjoy working and he was losing money from online gambling. It was instantly that he decided he wanted to photograph music and artist and concerts.

Silver photographers Critique

Granville Carroll: Storytellers - LENSCRATCH

Granville Carroll. I really enjoy his photography because it is different.The colors he uses and also the great editing that he does with his pictures .I love how he uses aspects of the sky and stars and the cosmos within his pictures . Also he uses double exposure really good . The black and white for some of his pictures works really well because it is like you are in space traveling through the galaxy. The dark images that he does also works really well. His editing is also done very good with his primitive calling with the images looking as if they come from another time . A lot of images you cant really exactly detail what it is but I think it adds to the picture .

His Website is really well done. It is easy to navigate through and to see all of his work . He has his type of photography organized really well and many if his images could be a wallpaper or paintings . Also he has an about me on his website. Also he has his type of photography labeled as things you wouldn’t know what it means but it will bring you in to want to know more about it .

Fatemeh Baigmoradi - Artists - Laurence Miller Gallery

Fatemeh Baigmoradi is another photographer I really like because of the way he photographs and edits his pictures. I like the detail he puts when he edits like it comes from another time back in the past. I also really enjoy the black and white . Another thing I like about his photography is that when he focuses on a subject he often has bright lights around the object which focuses on the main subject .i also like how there is a wide view on his pictures .

100 most influential Photos

Coffin Ban
This photo touches me personally because i plan to join the military.Many soldiers have died and put their life on the line to serve their country. They are not forced to serve their country but they do anyways and they deserve the most respect of all. The picture also touches me because the families of these soldiers know that their child served their country.

Another reason of this picture touches me is because the american flag. Some people do not think about what the families go through or what these soldiers go through emotionally.PTSD is one of the more common cases when it comes to soldiers. Im happy that their are many programs to help these soldiers when returning from the military.
