Famous Photographers

            For my famous photographer I chose Annie Leibovitz. She was born in Westbury Connecticut on October 2. She went to San Francisco Art Institute and that is where he photography career began. Her type of photography is portraits. She makes sure that the person she is photographing is using bold colors and will usually be doing unique poses. She has been a photographer from 1990 to 2005 but she may still be doing photography today.

            Annie’s first job was for Rolling Stones Magazine. She was first just a staff photographer but within a 23 year time period she was promoted to chief photographer which she was for the next ten years. Having this position let her tour with top bands around the world. In 1983 she started working for Vanity Fair Magazine. She did many stunning self-portraits for celebrities. Later on in the 1980’s Annie started to do high-profile advertizing campaigns. For which she earned her a Clio Award. In 1991 she had over 200 black and white pictures displayed at a gallery and soon after published a book. Five years later she was chosen to photograph the Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia. Four years after that she published another Book of Women. Finally, in 2005 the Brooklyn Museum of Art did a retrospect of all of her life work. Annie is now the mother of three children and is very happy.

Reflection of Photography

                I have learned many things since I have come into this class at the beginning of the year. I have learned things like photoshop tool.  For example, M is the key you press to get to the move tool and you can change brightness by going to image, adjustments, and brightness or levels of contrast. I have also learned about rule of third and how if things are off center it is more pleasing to the eye then when things are right in the middle. Another thing I have learned is vocabulary for types of camera photos. For example a motion blur photo has to do with the shutter speed and what it does is blur the photo. There is also Depth of Field which is where you are focused on a subject and the background is blurry or the foreground is blurry and the background is clear. I also learned how to get a freeze frame. When someone is doing a motion and you want to get them in mid air or in a certain position you need a high shutter speed so that the person looks frozen. These are just a few of the things I have learned in photo.
