WHY IS PHOTOGRAPHY IS IMPORTANT?
to me photography is very important due to its form of free expressions for many people. its offers a door way that some careers do not expand upon is the exploration that it brings the ability to be who people are in their own atmosphere. thanks to photography we are able to see the past and sustain the memories we hold dear and what builds us. it is our connections to other people when words dont even have to be said. Without the use of photography people wouldnt even be able to see whats in different parts of the world or whats even going on at the time, it inspires people to go and chase dreams and to explore.
Photography is something that everyone does no matter what in on way or another whether it be for themselves or for someone else. it is a worldwide practice and it can be the one activity that every human being does, is to take a photo but then photography takes it to a bigger level. when someone is able to take an image and makes someone feel something is a master piece to me and should be shared with everyone in my eyes.

Photography, I’m sure we can agree, is a relatively accessible craft. Recent years have made professional equipment widely available to the masses. it is a very profitable business not in money either. Photography and videography are at the forefront of modern times. Never before has there been such a demand for it. The internet has blown up with the need for constant content. New magazines are set up every day, and more events are needing coverage than ever. There are various paths one can take within the field. For many, carving a place in the profession requires being your own boss, and with it, your own motivator. A nightmare for some, but for me, being free from the constraint of a corporate hierarchy is more than motivation enough.
CRITIQUE OF SILVER LIST PHOTOGRAPHERS
zora j murf photography has a very portrait look to them using lots of shallow depth to field. the composition of the photos tend to have a very black and white or dark colors in them. he uses framing in his photos very well putting either rue of thirds or making the subject center most of the times. it has a very real feeling of simplicity but says and makes you feel many things.
joshua rashaad mcfadden photography has dealings with social issues in a gritty view with dark composition with putting their subject in the center. allowing to let it all be on display but giving a perspective of the victim and what it looks like for them giving the person a pov to feel what its like . its giving a true view to enduce sympathy for the issue and tries to keep the background very dark so that you only have that to view.

in the photo there is so much emotion. the one big emotion that i am getting from seeing something like this is just anger. to see this with nothing being done when clearly everyone knows its wrong how could they still go through and maybe the people on the floor did something wrong and thats the truth. i would never know the true story unless i was there and kmew what was going on and why he struck them.
the two articles
the first article i read about was about taking portraits and their expereince in the feild. this stroy actually persuaded me to be a photographer more due to how much fun he was saying he had. what helpeed was how he talked about the feild is hanging so much that no one knows what they are doing sometimes.this actually relaxed me knowing that if i were to start its okay to know that i dont know what im doing. it aalso taught me how tough it could be just to start to make a name for yourself.
the second article that i read was about landscapes. in this expeirence that was accounted interested me more. landscapes is the easiest version of photography to perform and understand but the hardest to make look good. it does not take too much equipment to do this photography which is an amazing thing given what all the other feilds would require.

the other job i would like to apply for is graphic designer photographer in norco CA that pays 20 to 25 an hour requires product and staged set photography and editing with color correcting manage and maintain all photography assests.
what i like about this piece is the use of lighting that it displays like slides for my eyes as i go down the photo. it flows in a relaxing wway that calms and sooths me. the colors also have a warm hue to them that add to the feeling i recieve. the shapes that aappear in the portrait are very pleasing and well thought out with exactly how much is being exposed.
