Photographer Report & Presentation photojournalism basics professor ripka ASSIGNMENT PHOTOGRAPHER REPORT INSTRUCTIONS & PRESENTATION Using the list of photographers, you will create a 3–4 page report and a presentation on a photographer of your choice. HANDING IN: 1. Select a photographer from the provided list of photographers. Look at multiple Submit your report and slide deck to ICON photographers, not just the frst one you fnd. Make sure you like their work. Once you have selected a photographer, notify instructor for approval via email. No two people may do the same photographer. First to notify takes precedence. A google spreadsheet will be created by instructor so you can see who has been claimed. 2. Select three photos you like (or hate) by your photographer to analyze. NOTE: This will be due the week after this project is assigned as you will use these photos to explore various aspects of photography during lectures. Be sure to have jpgs of the photos. 3. Find out about your photographer. Write no more than a paragraph or two recapitu- lating their career, viewpoints, and major subject matter. 4. For each photo, research when/where/why the image was made and list 2-3 of the news values that this photograph hits. Those news values are: • Timeliness • Proximity • Impact • Magnitude • Prominence • Confict • Novelty • Emotional Appeal 5. For each photo, its composition, photographic techniques, and lighting. You should discuss no less than 10 of the concepts we have covered. Do not merely describe the photo. Do not insert the photos to your written report as they will be in the slide deck. 6. Make a 4 slide presentation. The frst slide should be an image of your photogra- pher, the other three the images you discussed in your report (as large as they ft). 7. You will discuss what you learned about your photographer and your analysis of the three photos in your presentation. photojournalism basics professor ripka WHAT HAVE WE DISCUSSED FOR YOUR PHOTO ANALYSIS? • Focal length and its effects on the scene • Lighting and how it can be dramatic or soft. Does that match the subject? • Figure-ground relationshipthrough various techniques (depth-of-feld, color con- trasts, shape contrasts, etc) • Layers (foreground, middle ground, background) and how it creates depth • Focal points • Compositional structures (rule-of-thirds, fbonacci spiral, golden triangles) • Balance (asymmetric, symmetric) and how it affects how a photo feels • Repetition • Number of focal points (odd vs. even) • Rhythm and movement • Lines (implied and explicit) and movement • Explicit lines and their qualities (and how they feel) • Diminishing perspective • Orientation of the frame • Vantage point • Triangles • Techniques like frame-in-frame • Juxtaposition and incongruous elements • Punctum and studium Aaron Siskind Daidō Moriyama Gisèle Freund John Harrington Alec Soth Dan Budnik GMB Akash John Topham Alex Levac Dan Winters Gordon Parks Josef Jindřich Šechtl Alex Webb Dana Stone Greg Marinovich Josef Koudelka Alexey Titarenko Daniel Berehulak Guy Le Querrec Joseph Costa Alfred Eisenstaedt Daniel Meadows Guy Veloso Joseph McKeown Ali Hassan al-Jaber Danny Lyon Hansel Mieth Joshua Benoliel Altaf Qadri David Alan Harvey Haruo Tomiyama Julia Tutwiler Anders Petersen David C.

Abstract The aim of my research is to demonstrate how a practice of hand made books based on the materiality of the photographic print and photo-reprography, could engage with notions of touch in the digital age. We take for granted that most artists’ books are made from paper using lithography and bound in the codex form, yet this technology has served neither producer nor reader well. As Hayles (2002:22) observed: We are not generally accustomed to thinking about the book as a material metaphor, but in fact it is an artifact whose physical properties and historical usage structure our interactions with it in ways obvious and subtle.

Telling stories to a different beat: Photojournalism as a “Way of Life” Naomi Verity Busst, BPhoto, MJ A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Media and Communication Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Bond University February 2012 Abstract This thesis presents a grounded theory of how photojournalism is a way of life. Some photojournalists dedicate themselves to telling other people's stories, documenting history and finding alternative ways to disseminate their work to audiences. Many self-fund their projects, not just for the love of the tradition, but also because they feel a sense of responsibility to tell stories that are at times outside the mainstream media’s focus. Some do this through necessity. While most photojournalism research has focused on photographers who are employed by media organisations, little, if any, has been undertaken concerning photojournalists who are freelancers.

  • Hamish Johnson Mr. Patterson-Gram History 12 2-3 24 November 2018
    Johnson 1 Hamish Johnson Mr. Patterson-Gram History 12 2-3 24 November 2018 Effect of Conflict Photojournalism on Government Actions and Censorship Throughout the twentieth century, there has been a rapid increase of information available to the general public. From print and radio to television and even internet, the “average joe” now has access to live information from around the world (whether it is accurate or not is another question entirely). This huge societal shift is in part due to the rise of multimedia equipment and journalism having played a large role in shaping not only our modern governments but our expectations from the world around us. Being able to condense the raw elements of emotion, storytelling, perspective, and history into a single photograph gives photojournalism its unique appeal to the public. If a picture is worth a thousand words, why not use it? The essential trait of photojournalism, whether it be for social change, humanitarian crisis, wars both local and afar, or daily news, boils down to “bearing witness.”1 The power of photojournalism to allow one to see the outside world is unparalleled in terms of efficiency. However, this convenience is not always a virtue for governments and organizations that wish to limit knowledge or access to the general public. As the ease of use of media technologies has increased, governments, especially in war, have needed to adapt to new forms of censorship and secrecy to protect reputation and control the public. For most of human history, conflicts have been directly recounted to the public by the victors and typically through the government.

Their friend and fellow journalist, Perry Deane Young, tells their story here in a remarkable memoir first published in 1975. This new Press 53 Classics edition features photos by Flynn, Stone, their friends Tim Page, Nik Wheeler, and others, including a new chapter with updates on the lives of those involved and the ongoing search for two of the missing. This book was written in the mid-1970s and mainly concerns the lives of photojournalists Sean Flynn and Dana Stone. They were captured in Cambodia in April 1970 while taking what was clearly a foolish risk of approaching a Viet Cong roadblock. They are assumed to have died in captivity.I first read an account of Sean, Dana, and Tim Page (who also figures in the narrative) in Michael Herrs Dispatches and searched for this book for many years.

  • TPG Exhibition List
    Exhibition History 1971 - present The following list is a record of exhibitions held at The Photographers' Gallery, London since its opening in January 1971. Exhibitions and a selection of other activities and events organised by the Print Sales, the Education Department and the Digital Programme (including the Media Wall) are listed. Please note: The archive collection is continually being catalogued and new material is discovered. This list will be updated intermittently to reflect this. It is for this reason that some exhibitions have more detail than others. Exhibitions listed as archival may contain uncredited worKs and artists. With this in mind, please be aware of the following when using the list for research purposes: – Foyer exhibitions were usually mounted last minute, and therefore there are no complete records of these brief exhibitions, where records exist they have been included in this list – The Bookstall Gallery was a small space in the bookshop, it went on to become the Print Room, and is also listed as Print Room Sales – VideoSpin was a brief series of worKs by video artists exhibited in the bookshop beginning in December 1999 – Gaps in exhibitions coincide with building and development worKs – Where beginning and end dates are the same, the exact dates have yet to be confirmed as the information is not currently available For complete accuracy, information should be verified against primary source documents in the Archive at the Photographers' Gallery.

  • Dispatches As Myth-Busting
    Dispatches as myth-busting • Herr: Dispatches is “about acting out fantasy as much as anything. I had always wanted to go to war. I wanted to write a book” (in Ciotti 25). • Dispatches is about confronting the myths of war and the hero and the ways in which Viet Nam confounds those myths • “Ballad of the Green Berets” by Barry Sadler – biggest single hit of 1966 • Cultural example of the prevailing myth of war and masculinity 1 • Green Beret are portrayed as fearless • born to die; • elite corps, • personal integrity • interpersonal relationships trivial compared with opportunity to defend the oppressed • highest honour for a women is to raise another man who will die in service to this ideal of sacrifice • Song is narrative account where trajectory is to be tested, succeed and die with courage and honour • One year later, Scott McKenzie sang San Francisco • “Summer of love” and the Be-in of San Francisco 2 • Antithesis of The Ballad of the Green Beret • No narrative line • encapsulates a momentary experience • Objective is to travel, “meet some gentle people” “with flowers in their hair” • No one to save or defend • Instead, you join a community, a “whole generation” • Experience the “strange vibration”, the epiphany of a new way of being in the world • Endless summer, a “love-in” • No task to accomplish, no test of strength or valour • Juxtaposition of the Green Berets and the flower children point out the intensity with which the myths of war and heroism had been invested by the public • Where did those myths arise? 3 • “’Oh man, do you realize that I just asked that guy back there to cover us?’” (211).

  • Press Release Spitting James Hyman Gallery
    PRESSRELEASE SpiBng: Photographs by Andrew Bruce & Anna Fox 22nd April - 8th May 2015 In the lead-up to the UK General Elec4on in May, James Hyman Gallery presents Sping: Photographs by Andrew Bruce & Anna Fox, an exhibi4on of never-before seen photographs by acclaimed Bri+sh documentary photographer Anna Fox and rising star Andrew Bruce. One of the most popular television programmes of the 1980s and 1990s, watched by an audience of 15 million people at its peak, Sping Image was a Bri4sh sarical show featuring puppet caricatures of prominent celebri4es of the 4me, including internaonal poli4cians and the Bri4sh Royal Family, among others. The series was cancelled in 1996, but remains a seminal piece of Bri4sh television. It has recently been announced that a brand new six-part series, en4tled Newzoids and featuring modern-day personali4es such as Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage and Russell Brand, will air in 2015. On the terminaon of the original series, James Hyman began to acquire some of the most important puppets used in the show for his private art collec4on, the Hyman Collec4on. A life-long fan of Sping Image, Hyman believes that the life-size puppets should con4nue to be seen and enjoyed, and is delighted to be collaborang with photographers Fox and Bruce to bring these poli4cians back into the public eye in this important elec4on year. Echoing the garish photographs made by Sping Image creators Peter Fluck and Roger Law before Mar4n Lambie-Nairn approached them to suggest adap4ng their creaons for television, Fox and Bruce spent weeks in the studio working with a selec4on of the original puppets, craing these ominous images.
