Recommended: Importance Of Professionalism

Dear Manager of Ladonna Cherell Photography, Everyone likes seizing the moment and thanks to our advancement in technology now we can and it can be clearer than the day it was taken. People say a picture is worth a thousand words and if taken the right way it can be worth more than 10 thousand. 10 thousand is a lot but no where close to how strong my love for photography is and even further from my care for taking and editing them. The reason I care so much for taking and editing them is because I like to believe there is beauty everywhere, in everything, and especially in everyone. There is beauty everywhere and then if that’s not enough there are also moments you would like to preserve and cherish forever. All you need to do is snap and picture, but if you want a really good professional looking picture you can just hire a professional. 1,000 words for just one picture sounds like a lot, but truthfully with the right camera, photographer, setting, and then the way you edit it a picture can be worth more than 10,000 words. How do you know who is the
These are just a few questions I would be asking myself the day I am job shadowing, if I am able to of course. This is going to help me decide if I want to be in photography or if doing something else would be better for me. Deciding is also knowing if I could find beauty in the little things or able to find the right setting. The right setting is where people don’t see everyday, where you're able to go once and know how everything was years later because it was special and unique. And you want to share special moments and that’s what photography allows you to do. It allows you to be yourself and express the thoughts in your mind without saying a word yet somehow you say a

  • Decoding Objectivity: Manipulation Techniques in Photojournalism

    1073 Words  | 3 Pages

    Photography, among many things, is a medium used to further the connection between a reader and the story. It does this by drawing the reader into the world of the photograph, and allowing them to experience the realism of the scenario. This connection has amplified the level of communication between humans, namely, in the field of journalism. In the article “To Tell the Truth: Codes of Objectivity in Photojournalism” written by Donna Schwartz, she discusses the methods employed by photojournalists to manipulate photos in order to give the desired effect, or connection. These methods, along with others from “Critical Media Studies” written by Brian Ott and Robert Mack, will be used to analyze the following photo to show how they create the

    My mother once told me to take pictures during a family picnic. That was the day I discovered the art of photography. I found it fascinating how an image could be capable of sharing an entire story. What started out as a hobby, ended up becoming a life-long passion that has allowed me to develop into a more capable individual. When I saved up and bought my first camera, I read vast amounts of photography books and watched countless internet tutorials, in an attempt to teach myself how to become a good photographer. I would then use what I had learned and go outside, for hours at a time, and take pictures of the world around me. I even had the opportunity to practice commercial photography and graphic designing for various public events. These experiences have made a deep impact on my character. Growing up, I was reluctant to work with others, especially in school. Maybe because I was a natural introvert, I believed that in order for something to be done right, I had to complete it on my own and asking others for help was a sign of weakness. However, when complex situations arose during photo-shoots, I realized how lucky I was to be working and collaborating with talented individuals. By sharing the responsibility and by having confidence in my team, the quality of my work drastically improved, and in turn, I thrived in such an environment. It really was a surprise to me how photography has taught me the value of placing trust in others.

    Then, by the summer, the goal is to have somebody set up for me to job shadow. In the fall of my senior year, I will begin applying to graduate programs and will continue to attend job fairs. The biggest challenge I can foresee with this career is experiencing burnout. In my interview with Brittney Clark, one of her biggest pieces of advice is to practice good self-care and coping strategies and to try and not bring your work home with you since it is such an emotionally demanding job, which may be a struggle for me at first. I plan on overcoming this challenge by setting up a time weekly to take care of myself, whatever that might

  • Job Shadowing

    465 Words  | 1 Pages

    The work area where I went was inside a building. The employees aren’t alone; there are other people’s desks near by. This job is certainly not hectic and tense, its more quiet and clam. Sometimes people are walking by, or come in to talk to them though. There are a lot of glass windows, whether it for looking outside, or into the more private office, there is quite a lot of glass, and desks are scattered throughout the building. Some of the equipment used is copy machines, fax machines, and printers. There are computers and phones on the employee’s desks. By shadowing my mom, I learned a whole lot about trading and selling stocks. I also learned how the employees have to deal with clients that have problems or questions about their stock. So I know what kind of skills I need, and what I have to do to be a stockbroker. This experience of job shadowing won’t really impact my future career decision, because although it was a good and informational experience, it’s not really the kind of career I want to do when I get older.

    On its surface, a picture is simply a snapshot of the moment in time. However, when analyzed for the beauty and eloquence that could exist within a photo, a simple picture can turn into so much more. It can become a story. A story with the ability to extend far beyond the focal length of aany camera. It can become a story truly worth a thousand words. Josh Haner of the New York Times wrote a beautiful, harrowing story about Boston bomb survivor Jeff Bauman through a photo series in his 2014 feature photography Pulitzer Prize winning piece.

  • The Power of Photography

    861 Words  | 2 Pages

    Have you ever seen a painting or picture that captivates you and directly stirs up emotion within you? More than likely, you have. Usually, viewers merely observe the picture and enjoy the way it looks and how it makes them feel. But, have you ever asked yourself, “why?” What about the picture makes it pleasing to the viewer? With each strategy the photographer uses creates their own touch and passion that floods all over the picture. The emotional connection nearly goes unnoticed for when the picture is well photographed, the viewers experience the sensation in their subconscious. This is one of the most powerful tools that a photographer holds in their hands. If one can become a master of manipulating how the photo affects its viewers, the said photographer can potentially maneuver people’s minds and thoughts with one click of a button. The time spent with my mentor has opened up the door for me to tap into that power though the use of background, focus, shutter speed, angles, and most importantly, lighting. Even with all these techniques, the person behind the camera must remember that creativity must be at the forefront of all operations. Caleno (2014), when writing about the basics of capturing a beautiful moment in a picture commented, “If we want to be creative we must drop these pre-conceptions and start looking at things from a small child’s innocence.”

  • Photojournalism Essay

    719 Words  | 2 Pages

    Photojournalism is a specific form of journalism that employs the use of images to form a news story that meaningfully contributes to the media. This allows a photographer to capture stills that tell the story of a moment in time. Photojournalism creates a transparency between the media and the people as it depicts an accurate representation where meaning can be misinterpreted through text. Photojournalism largely contributes to the way we understand the reality of a moment. Becker (1982) supports this concept as he compares photography to paintings. He says that paintings get their meaning from the painters, collectors, critics, and curators; therefore photographs get their meaning from the way people understand them and use them. Photojournalist’s

    What do you consider art? Paintings, sculptures, drawings, or maybe something else. I know, when I think of art, I think of photography. Photography Is used for business, science, manufacturing, art, recreational purposes, mass communication, and more.

He said, “You don’t take a photograph, you make it.” Photography has a long interesting history, like the fact that the word photography is made up of two greek words, photos meaning ‘light’ and graphein which is ‘to draw’ !

  • Final Reflection: My NEW Place In Photography

    1312 Words  | 3 Pages

    Prior to this course, I knew photography was a part of my every day life. After experiencing this course, I know I knew little about photography. Photography is definitely part of my life, but as I reflect on my sixteen-week progression, I realize that everyone can take a picture but “taking a photograph” as an art. My initial thoughts were that with smart phones we are all “photographers” sharing and it has become part of our visual culture, but not all photos deserve appreciation. Although I believed I had an eye for interesting things and liked to shoot pictures from angles or interesting features, I realized that knowing more about the functions and diversity a quality camera could provide was missing. Photography has been a vital part of my personal history and now will be a bigger part of my life as I am armed with knowledge and experience with angles, lighting, settings and Photoshop so the memories I capture will have a stronger purpose. Point and shoot has transitioned into a passion for finding interest in a subject and utilizing my knowledge to create artful photos. Ordinary or standard shots will be a part of my past. Reflecting on my interest in photography as a potential path for my future, or a part of an overall career choice, I realized that if I continue on a public relations or marketing path, photography will be a critical part of my career. Photography 181 has given me invaluable information that will be carried on into my future in both business and personal arenas. My place in photography will continue to include sports action photography as I am an athlete and appreciate these, as well as in editorial or brand image photography as part of my career.
