...would call the palace and its adored paintings, a work of art and rather be mesmerised by the antiquity. Now, the second situation is somewhat we all are acquainted with. What do you expect to find as you enter the house of a popular film star. Well you are luckily you are going to see numerous photographs of stars being framed and hung on the wall. You can also find a good deal of landscape photographs in any modern household. Well, now the question arises. Will you call this house a patron of art? This is where the ambiguity arises. It has been almost 180 years now, and still innumerable critics have been raging a battle among themselves on whether to consider photography as an art. Well, I am no critic, neither I am any artist or photographer. I am what you all are, a layman. And I will try to analyse things from layman’s point of view. So, being impartial, standing on the vulnerable bisector dividing the two forms, I would like to establish art with photography. How do we describe art? Art is a form of media be it painting, film, song, etc which provokes some kind of thought or emotion within us. Common emotions to be found in art are joy, laughter, happiness, hatred, pessimism, amazement, shocks, etc. So, the most vital function of art is to wipe away the dust of daily life from our souls and provide a deep insight to our inner self. In other words, art provides liberation to our souls in turmoil, and...

...I have chosen William Klein, Henri- Cartier Bressonas, Gjon Mili, and Brassai as my photographers as I enjoy viewing their work. What I like about these photographers is that they have been very revolutionary with their work. Henri- Cartier Bresson is considered the as the father of modern photojournalism to most people. William Klien has also been revolutionary in the fact that he has his own style of photography that many other people have tried to embrace. Gjon Mili was the first to use electronic flash and stroboscopic light to create photographs, which influenced photographers in terms of creativity within photography and Brassai is known for his incredible night photography of the mystery night time Paris. They are considered to be innovators in photography using different techniques to produce work that is still admired and studied today. William Klein is an American born French photographer and filmmaker. He was trained as a painter but he soon moved to photography which achieved him fame as a fashion photographer for Vogue. Klein’s photographic style is ‘in your face’ and close up often having a theatrical look with many being harshly framed or blurred. His images are grainy and satirical often exploring the more abstract parts of a location like in New York where he shot images showed ‘The big apple’ as a kind of slum. Many American publishers were against this and didn’t believe it showing New York in a good way. His passion for exploring the unexpected can evidently...

...Through her expressive photographs, Mary Ellen Mark takes us on a journey without barriers into the lives not often seen of others. My main focus in this paper is to analyze Mary Ellen Mark’s social documentation through the connotative and denotative aspects of her photographs, which capture a scene but say a thousand words. A humanization to all her photographs, which is a true gift of Mark’s and is a style that seems to be disappearing today. I have always been in “aw” of Mary Ellen Mark” since I was 12 years old. I wanted to travel around the world and capture life in a different perspective. She was my inspiration on many photographs I have taken in my life. When I was 14, I was living in another country and joined my first photography group. I used Marks inspiration to photograph poverty, war, and to capture portraits of lives not seen by others. At 15, I was given my own exhibit and I was able to show others photographs that said a thousand words. It was a success and after that moment I knew what path I wanted to take in my life. Mary Ellen Mark has a very distinct style, typically narrating the lives of people that are in extremely heartbreaking situations, such as physical abuse, prostitution, poverty, and drug addiction. Marks ability to capture the brutal honesty of her subjects is extremely unique to her style of photography. She blasts through the scarred walls of her subjects and exhibits their raw vulnerability leaving no room for sentiment. Mark...

...Being a photographer is seriously awesome. 1. CAPTURE A MEMORY THAT YOU CAN HAVE FOREVER With a photo you can capture a moment, and have it forever. I think we take that idea for granted, with photography being so ubiquitous these days. But seriously just take a second to appreciate that. If you did that in Ancient Greece they’d call you a sorcerer. Or a god. 2. SHARE IT WITH THE IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE One of the top ways people got into photography was through someone important to them. People credited their mother, father, aunt, uncle, grandmother, grandfather, sibling, friend and even great-grandparents. Photography is a passion that you can share with the important people in your life. You can pass it down to the next generation, and spur their love of this amazing art. 3. EXPRESS YOURSELF Your unique perspective can go further than just showing people how you see a scene. Photography also lets you express yourself—your opinions and beliefs. You do this by choosing what you photograph, and how you represent it. This aspect of your photography is ever-changing as you change. You get a sense of what a photographer is like as a person by looking at their body of work. This part of photography is absolutely fascinating as a viewer, and fulfilling as a shooter. 4. A GREAT CHALLENGE Now, there is actually a lot more to photography than just pointing the camera at something and pressing the button. That’s where you start. But learning to become...

...Payton and Samantha brought their little guy into my baby photographer studio for his newest milestone portraits. I met this couple for the first time when they brought Cullen in for his newborn session. He was just a week old at that time. The time flies by in a heartbeat! This time he was brought in for a cake smash session. While it's hard not to love all kinds of baby sessions, these are some of my favorites. His parents say that he is a happy, active and talkative boy who loves being outside. Silly sounds and funny faces make him laugh, but his favorite thing is eating. I was warned to keep the cake away until it was cake smash time. He really dug into that cake when the time came too. It was a blast to watch him play in the cake and...

...Starting a business is a challenging process. It is imperative to consider what form of business would best suit the unique product or service. The decision to form a specific type of business depends on many factors including tax, accounting and legal implication as well as the structure and liability of the business. In this paper the focus will be on establishing my wedding photo studio, the advantages and disadvantages of different business structure and the consequences associated with each form of business organization. Sole proprietorship is controlled by only one person. The owner is responsible for all debts of the business (The basic of sole proprietorship, 2005). And the income or loss will be reported on his or her personal income tax return because the assets of the business and the profits are basically the same for the owners. Owners are liable for any accounting errors on tax forms and obligate to pay any penalties that incurred (Accounting implication of a sole proprietorship). Due to the fact that sole proprietorship is a small business, it does not subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. But the owner still needs to use income statement so taxes can be filed accurately. Since no legal formalities are necessary and only a few legal restrictions, this form of business is easy to establish or close down. Since it is owned and managed by a single owner, it is difficult to raise funds from major banks. The existence of a sole proprietorship business is linked...

...The Photographer Edward Ruscha portrays the lack of adventure in Suburban America through a black and white colored image of the State Department of Employment. Ruscha uses a black and white color scheme that emphasizes certain symbols of the parking lots to show the repetitiveness and guidance that Suburban America bestows upon its inhabitants. These notions contribute to the numbing experience of Suburbia induced by a lack of adventure and completely contradict Walt Whitman’s view of the ideal American in “Pioneers! O Pioneers!”. The repetitiveness of Suburban life is symbolically displayed in Ruscha’s State Department of Employment photo through the wear and tear of the roads and parking spaces. He intentionally uses a black and white color...
