READ AND REFLECT

Becoming a professional photographer is one of the best jobs in the world. Photography is a career that essentially consists of taking pictures. There are many reasons as to why it is one of the best jobs in the world. It is most definitely accessible. Now more than ever, the market is saturated with aspiring photographers, beauticians, stylists, and models. After the initial investment of purchasing a camera, it’s usually quite easy to get the ball rolling. If you’re feeling inspired (or equally uninspired), bored, or just experimental, you can always pick your camera up and start playing. It’s a craft that we can indulge in virtually whenever we like; there’s always something to take photos of or somebody willing to be photographed. It’s an outlet that can be enjoyed alone or as a social event with a team of others. We photographers are lucky in that photography is always there for us when we need it.

Photography and videography are at the forefront of modern times. Never before has there been such a demand for it. The internet has blown up with the need for constant content. New magazines are set up every day, and more events are needing coverage than ever. You can be your own boss, there are various paths one can take within the field. For many, carving a place in the profession requires being your own boss, and with it, your own motivator. A nightmare for some, but for me, being free from the constraint of a corporate hierarchy is more than motivation enough.

Critique of Silver List Photographers

After observing all the work of several photographers, I realized that many are very good and several caught my attention since I liked their photographs. the top 2 photographers that caught my attention are. Jasmine Clarke and Jon Henry as these two photographers have very good photos and they have various feelings in several of their photos. Jasmine Clarke’s photos are full of color and I like the composition of each photo, I like that her photos convey different emotions in different people. I also like the quality of the photography.

What I like about Jon Henry’s photographs is that they convey many emotions and most of them are sadness, I like the colors and compositions of each photo. I realized that in most of the photographs of him a shirtless person appears (most of the time it is a man) another thing that I realized is that it reflects the sadness or seriousness of the people.

 

Why Is Photography So Important

Photography is important because it allows people to see the world from different perspectives. Thanks to photography, you can admire the most diverse scenarios and situations captured in a frozen moment. Photography is so powerful that it enables you to bring meaningful experiences to others in the form of static images. It allows the diffusion of information about things as they are. Photography is important to collect significant moments in your life, photography is an excellent hobby and its a lot of fun. Photography helps you connect with like-minded people.

WASSILY KANDINSKY

I really like the work of WASSILY KANDINSKY since in his works he includes several colors that attract my attention and also many people. her works are very peculiar since they do not have an order or are abstract. the truth if I would buy any of her art.

 

SANDY SKOGLUND

Sandy Skoglund creates the most crazy and mind playing photos with the work she has done. Sandy Skoglund is a one of a kind artist, and no other photographer can come close too Sandy’s photos. Her photos are so unique and the work and dedication that is put into each and every photo is just absolutely amazing! Every photo she uses different and contrasting colors grabbing the viewers attention. The vibrancy and colors work so well together creating a certain emotion for the viewer.

 

Broad Museum Collection: Image Critique

1. Although I know that most of the time the images that attract me the most are with cold colors and tones, this image with red color as the principal caught my attention, which is interesting because warm tones do not attract me a lot, but the way that this artwork is composed, particularly for me it is very effective.
2. This image is crazy, it seems as if a explosion occurred . There is a lot going on, there are many things that have to be analyzed in order to understand this image.
3. This image tells a story, I think it is something fictional or horrific behind this, but the elements and details found here may reveal a tragic
4. This picture inspire me or I thing inspired other people to do street art.
5. I think that you have to look closely to understand this picture, because is hard to understand.

 

Social Media Trends for 2021

1. Show your audience your “reel” brand personality with Instagram reels or TikToK

This trend is use to show our peers what our brand is in short videos. Creating a reel or a TikTok will allow me to bring in content to my viewers.

2. Make new friends, but keep the old: don’t leave long-form video out

Livestreaming can help people meet new individuals and make a connection to inspire and educate. Being able to have a long-form video will help me to plan out my day and have a communication.

3. Stories capabilities are not only here to stay, they’re growing

Creating stories have become a method to advertise anything we want. My brand can use stories to show my audience about any updates.

4. Replace face-to-face time with screen-to-screen time

Live events can aid people to connect with individuals in the industry from all around the world. Attending virtual occurrences can be a way for my brand to reach others not only in my area but also globally.

5. Make eCommerce even easier: social media becoming a one-stop shop

Social media has also incorporated to shop within the app itself and make purchasing easier.

6. When it comes to content strategy, knowledge is power

Following a plan to bring in our creativity is awesome, however, having a sense of what we are doing can further develop our learning.

7. Just because you can go text-heavy on Facebook, doesn’t mean you should

Captions can be effective on telling others a more informative explanation, yet it can become draining if it does not pertain to what our audience wants.

8. Keep what’s behind the brand and behind the screen at the forefront: people

People have always been what gets our work to keep growing. Attracting people and getting suggestions of what they will like to see in the future, should be taken in consideration because people are the main factor to continue our brand.
