Blog Post: Experience with Photography

My experience with photography is very little. They only time I've really experienced photography is when I got my senior pictures taken or when they took pictures for the army. In the army though we didn't pose or make ourselves look good. They just took pictures of us in the moment. Which I though turned out really awesome to see our real facial expressions. It captured the way we felt at the time.

I do not have have knowledge on photography. It's something I have never made a priority to know about. I do think pictures and art are very captivating and can say a lot, or put meaning into something but I don't know what goes into making this photos look beautiful, captivating or speak for themselves.

I think photography is very interesting. Especially pictures of people, animals, and nature. I am into more black and white picture, especially of people. I also really like picture of cities with lots of color. Their are a couple of photographer that I really like and all three of them took photos in black and white of people. One being Kim Anderson, her pictures are usually of children doing sweet and innocent things. They are in black and white but with certain things or objects in color. Another photographer I really like is Christian Coigny. His photographs are very simple and capture natural beauty of things weather that would be nature or people. He does have nude art but it is classy and tasteful. Charles Clyde Ebb has a photo that most people have see if they have ever went into the picture section of a store or an art store called Lunch atop a Skyscraper. I like this picture because it captures them in a really moment. They aren't pretending to be up there. A lot of picture now days put people in digitally and I think that takes the realness out of a picture.
