Photography
My interests for photography has grown over the years. I find nature very beautiful but some things of nature are more than very beautiful. Nature is my mother, just me as an individual, I take care of it when I can. I, myself, can catch good times with the camera on my phone, or an actual camera. My photos turn out ok, but not good and not all the time, to me. I know that being a professional photographer, it can be hard unless you've got the money. If you choose to become a photographer with your own business, you are going to have more responsibilities. You are going to have stuff like having to advertise, scheduling appointments, setting and adjusting the equipment.

I’ve always wondered how a single image could show a beautiful lie or a horrific truth of any picture taken. No picture can be considered obvious.

Think about the last time you went somewhere exciting and did not have a camera or a picture-capturing device. How did that make you feel? In “On Photography,” the essay by Susan Sontag, she challenges how the uses of photography have developed between the invention of the camera in the 1800s and the time this essay was written in 1977, by juxtaposing different topics and ideas. She delves into how photography makes people feel and the plethora of uses, all which depend on the person. Finally, Sontag states that photography lets people show their experiences to others through their own point of view. Through her cynical words, she forces readers to feel a negative emotion towards photography. Sontag states pathos-charged

A fine-art photographer has deeper levels of meaning, as they choose to create an art piece instead of it being all about ‘money making’. Fine-art is known as photographic art, the term "fine art photography" has no commonly agreement that means or definition: rather, it refers to associate in the photographs, created in accordance with the artistic vision of the photographer. The fundamental plan behind the genre is that rather than simply capturing a practical rendition of the theme. The artist is attending to demonstrate a personal, reminiscent or more individual mood. One and may modify this that fine art describes any image taken by a camera wherever the purpose worth lies in its beauty, instead of scientific value images, product photos, or newspaper and magazines showing photos with news or descriptive value.

To begin with, photography appeared to me as something entertaining a simple step in which one took a camera and simply shot a photograph of oneself or a friend. When I was handed my schedule for Mrs. Jones’s class, I felt as if this class had in store a special reward for me. As the days went by, Instead of being anxious of getting out of class I had a craving for additional time in the class. The class kept my eyes glued to the screen ...
Photography offers the specializations of: travel photography, portraiture, photojournalism, nature photography, fine art photography, commercial photography, and cinematography (“Photography Specialization”). Going into this field, I have considered specializing in travel photography, photojournalism, nature photography, or fine art photography.

The same can be said for nature photography, which can also involve lots of traveling. This specialization would also allow me to marvel in my fascination towards nature and its true beauty.

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.
