Annie Leibovitz

A Photographer's Life

Annie Leibovitz is one of the world’s greatest photographers. Through her very peculiar eye she not only captures the things most people hardly see, she also makes it into something great and fantastic. Much can be obtained by analyzing and looking at the work she has done over the years. I have learned to not be so picky in my shots. Sometimes the shots that we really want and wait for must just come to us. Also it is essential to see things in many different ways. You must look at its color, contrast, form, shape, and almost every little detail about the image in order to make a great picture. With the knowledge learned from Annie Leibovitz I am sure that my pictures will greatly improve if not be incredibly fantastic and I thank Annie Leibovitz.

Photoshop

Photoshop has truly changed the world of photography in all parts of the world. It has had a positive but yet also negative affect in what has changed about photography. Not only does it conceal reality, but it also sends the wrong message to people because it serves as a model or inspiration to some. People ascertain the wrong impression, and or a false impression of what photography really is. Some may say that photography is to capture beauty and perfection, but Photoshop is altering the very foundation of what we see to create something else.


Although the mere idea that people can change themselves to look like the pictures is impossible, it does not mean that Photoshop has not changed the notion of people in a good. To some extent it has showed people to question pictures and also perceive things in different ways. It also allows people to be as creative as they want with a picture making it as close to perfect as they see. Photoshop has revolutionized the industry of photography and allow there are some negative affects, like all things, it is mostly a positive impact on the world of photography.

Artists of the Harlem Renaissance

The Harlem Renaissance was a flowering of African-American social thought that was expressed through the visual arts, as well as through music (Louis Armstrong, Eubie Blake, Fats Waller and Billie Holiday), literature (Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, and W.E.B. DuBois), theater (Paul Robeson) and dance (Josephine Baker). Centered in the Harlem district of New York City, the New African American Movement (as it was called at the time) had a profound influence across the United States and even around the world.

Five very profound Artists who were at the core of the Harlem Renaissance movement included William H., Lois Mailou Jones, and the sculptor and printmaker Sargent Claude Johnson. Other prominent artists associated with the Harlem Renaissance included Jacob Lawrence, Archibald Motley and Romare Bearden.
