The future of photography...

     In 25 years in regards to the actual cameras I think that if there are actual DSLR cameras still around they will be smaller, have stronger sensors, and more efficient ways of transferring photos from the camera to whatever device necessary. If DSLR cameras are pushed to the side be a newer way of taking photos like say contact lenses that have a camera built in and photos are taken by blinking your eyes....(this is probably going to take more than 25 years before this is a "thing") However if it is accomplished in 25 years, cell phone cameras will become obsolete.      If cameras in 25 years are a form of contact lens then people will be taking pictures of everything they see probably without any thought or planning of an artistic creative shot. This would be a serious step back from what a true photographer does for a living and their job would be diminished to the point of non existent if camera technology keep improving to the point that the camer...

First Semester Reflection

Quality Of Work As far as paying attention to the objective of the assignment and completing everything I believe that I have done that every time. In the index prints I make sure to have at least 25 images if not more. I always complete my work on time and then spend time editing the photos and choosing the right image. I usually think of many ideas for a project and try to pick one that doesn't seem too easy like for the all white project I didn't just want to take a photo of a white wall or copy the photos that were put on the class blog. Effort I love photography and I am always actively taking photos everywhere I go and of my family. neighbors, friends etc. The location/subject of my photos depends on the project, if the project reminds me of something I saw that is in sarasota or tampa, I will go there and take photos. If it is a project I can complete at home or around town then I will do that. I usually put in a good amount of effort and take practice shots to determ...

Lost in the World

1. The general premise of the video is to show that people are so engrossed with their phones, social media and certain standards that they loose themselves in a fake reality. If this doesn't stop it could potentially cause the demise of things that make up life and ultimately loose who they are. 2. The video in conveying its intended message is effective. The video shows what is currently happening in the world as we are becoming a society that revolves around technology and social media. It makes the viewer more aware of what is going on and that they may also be contributing to the situation. 3. I feel that it is more of an examination of our social situation. I feel this way because there are a lot of scenes showed in the video like the dating reality, eating out at restaurants and everything being recorded on phones instead of experiencing it, that I have seen in real life and know is happening currently. Therefore I see it as an examination of our society currently and ho...

A camera in every pocket

1. I feel that with the popularity of cell phones with high quality cameras, sure the nature of photography may have changed but there is still a distinction between someone who quickly takes a photo with their cell phone and photographers who try and capture moments and create art. With the increasingly improving technology, phone cameras are becoming better and better, which some could say is just increasing the scope of photography from only DSLR cameras to handheld phones as well. However I will say that, I believe phone cameras do take away some of what makes the process and the lengths photographers go through to capture the perfect images. 2. The future of photography will be a continuation of higher resolution lenses and more compact ways to carry them around... whether that will mean holograms or DSLRs the size of a cell phone who can really know? 3. I disagree, just because more photos are being taken doesn't necessarily mean that all those photos are high quality or ...

Photographer interview- Brooke Shaden

1. Brooke Shaden 2.  Since high school 3. Conceptual fine art style 4. Picked it up in high school but didn't like it until college. 5. The ability to tell a story. 6. Tries to convey that anyone anywhere can take photos and be inspired. 7. Yes she discusses her failure when she first started photography and how she learned she was better at shooting people instead of inanimate objects. 8. She was not inspired by photographers but mostly painters and film makers. She looked at Gregory Crueson (??) photography- anything cinematic looking she found inspiration from. 9. Not really she just talks about black and white photography. 10. She discusses film and how it helped her tell stories in her photos. 11. She wants to eventually create enough cinematic images to create a film. Also, she loves to inspire people with different unusual stories. 12. I find it compelling that she tries to always tell a story in her photos and that she struggled with photography at the...

Facing Fears

Image
Atychiphobia My fear is failure. More specifically, what will happen if I fail. Failure is not an option for me, I HAVE to succeed. My family and my future count on me and expect certain things of me. Failure would be the end. Just like the nail is the end for the balloon precariously floating above the consequences of failure. The consequences of the balloon "failing" would be it popping. Index card:

Power of internet images

The image she is trying to project is adventurous, bold, wild, positive and carefree. I would say she is successful because she posted a a lot of travel photos that portray her adventurous/carefree side. I think she would be a good role model for anyone who wants to do something with their life and be more adventurous.
