Panorema Picture (Original)

Here's my panorema. Self explanitory, ya know? The new one will be edited, and words will be added.

Panorema Pictures and Happy Birthday to my cousin JoJo !

Here are some pictures from when we went outside, and when I shot my cousin's bday party, not many but good for what I wanna do.

Artist Rendetion Explanation

So for my picture, I did one of Robert Frank's original works involving a table and the "Americanized" way of the table being displayed. My idea was to do the opposite, and that's why there are many items on the table, but the same concept with the sun coming into the window to reflect off the table. You can also see that I have a tablecloth on it. Really my idea was to have the 2011 version of what a regular table would look like vs. the Robert Frank idea. My process was simple, to capture the realism of the table and how it has changed over the years. I also have more chairs then what the original has, because there is another difference in the picture itself. Of course I followed the white and black concept, to follow what Robert Frank originally started.  You can also notice that the small TV in the corner is off when the one that Robert Frank shot is on. I had to reshoot this picture because, my camera was not cooperating with me as you made me realize in the middle of the week. I had to make a little bit of changes to the picture, but not much because the picture is just self-explainitory based on what I wanted to do.

Artist Rendetion 5/2/11

Okay, so this isn't my best work, the lighting was crappy, and I really REALLY need to reshoot that table. But, this is to show that I did take some pictures this weekend. Plus I wanted to show the lighting...I might switch to another picture.

Artist Information 4/14/11

Your name: Janelle Holland

Photographers name: Robert Frank

Title of Photograph: “The Americans”: Part One of the Series

Artist Bio:

Education: High School is all that they mentioned.

Upbringing?: He was Jewish, and he was a neutral party when it came to war. Half of his people have been killed as he grew older.  He lived in Zurich Switzerland, and was living during the Second World War.

Art experience?:  By the age of 18, he was apprenticed by Hermann Segesser in 1942. He later worked for worked for Michael Wolgensinger in Zurich. A well-known photographer taught his mentor, Wolgensinger by the name of Johannes Meiner in Zurich before attending Bauhaus-trained Hans Finsler’s classes at the Zurich School of Commercial Art.

Artistic Background:

Did your artists work in other artistic Mediums (paint, clay etc?)

He left photography to pursue film.

Why is he or she a photographer?

What inspires his/her work?

Due to his love for the Swiss life, Modernism, Reportage, and the Homeland Style. This also makes it easier for him to create his first hand-made books of photographs that he would make in the next six years.

Has your artists encountered any hardships or successes in his or her life that are directly reflected in their work?

He was tired of his Homeland of Switzerland, and he started to travel to different places. He loved going to South America and New York and photographing his people (the Swiss) That’s how the idea of the “Americans” came into effect.

Your image:

Why did you select this image?
I selected this image because I think it shows about how the style was back in the day with modern day things. I like the simple things in life, so why not do a simple picture? A simple picture describes a lot.

How would you describe your photographers style? (in your own words)

Probably modern, because it is very modern.  There is a lot of simplicity in this picture, and the angle that he took it from, makes an impact on how pictures were simply shot differently.

After researching the photographer what have you found most interesting about his/her photographic style or image production?

He only likes “his people” in pictures. He kind of was a very “racist” guy, because he only photographed things that he thought was right. A lot of “American” themed things. Maybe because he valued America as soon as he left home.

How are you planning to recreate your photographers image?

Probably with my own house, I have chairs and things that resemble the picture.

What images do you anticipate taking to recreated this image? (i.e. describe the shots you intend to take to reach your final goal)

Most likely, angle shots. I have the same set up as this picture. It should be easy, and just making sure that I have enough lighting. There is kind of a glare on the picture so it shouldn’t be that hard to do.

Quotes:

“It is always the instantaneous reaction to oneself that produces a photograph.”-Robert Frank

“I always say that I don’t want to be sentimental, that the photographs shouldn’t be sentimental, and yet, I am conscious of my sentimentality.” –Robert Frank

In Progress Book Poster 4/6/11

It's gonna go something like that, I don't know. Maybe the words need to be placed differently, and I'm trying to figure out what I will do with the sign.

Second Post Aperture and Shutter Speed 2/10/11

1.   Looking for MANUAL.

2. Aperture is the lighting itself. As explained with shutter speed, aperture depends on how the light is appeared in the picture. It makes a difference when taking a picture to its’ full potential.

3. Shutter speed helps make with the decision about lighting. Usually aperture and shutter speed are together, to be able to take the full picture with enough lighting and speed to have a fabulous picture.

4.  The shutter speed is right on the front of the camera. When the lens is extended out, there is the shutter speed. The aperture is a feature on the camera if you move the small dial on the camera.

First post 2/9/11

1. I like this picture because you can really zoom in on the eyes and also the hat. It’s easier to see that the boy is putting on the hat and it’s really on his face that he’s not letting that hat go.
2. The picture came from www.flickr.com

3. I want to recreate this because; it would be good for both my benefit and also being a photographer. Eyes are the best feature on a lot of people.  It also can outline someone’s personality and the way they are and sometimes act.

4. Photographer didn’t really explain anything. It was just a basic picture and everything.

1. I like this picture because I like how it contrasts with the girl’s eyes with the balloon. You can clearly see also the nails and the way that it is taken.
2.  The picture came from

http://www.flickr.com/photos/juliette_love/5431394388/

   3. I want to learn how to do this so I can master how to include shadows in my pictures most of the time. It’s easier that way and, it’ll make a difference in the long run. 

 4. This picture was taken with a Fujifilm FinePix 2800 Zoom camera.

1. This picture appeals to me because of the many dark colors that it has. The way that the window is far away from where the person can see it. The shadows are also a good way to express that there maybe sadness in this warehouse or barn of some sort.
2. I located this file from www.flickr.com
3. I would like to recreate this effect because, I want to take a harder picture and make it my own. It’s not easy doing shadows, or having a certain object that directs someone’s eyes away from the whole entire picture.
4. The photographer explains that it was taken on an Urbex. Maybe that was the camera that was used for taking this breathtaking picture.
