Purpose to Photography: Africa and Mural Project Preview

 Africa

My reaction to this power point was that it has beautiful photos of these amazing animals. The reason why this is my reaction to this power point was that is because the photos look really good i really like how they came out. this photographer really got good angles and really got a good side of their nature which i personally think that was a really nice touch to it.

The reason i choose this photo was because i like how the nature part came out it was really nice. Not to mention that the animals came out fantastic in this picture. i really got inspired by this photographer named nick brandt .

The reason why this is my favorite photo form this photographer is because of how it came out for example the trees came out beautiful . Also the giraffe came out perfect i like how this picture has that type of out of balanced but at the same time its like in balanced it just depends on how you see it.

The type of rules of photography that apply this photo is the rule of third because if you cut it in to thirds the giraffe will not be in the middle of this picture. Also the frame is another rule that apply's to this picture because the trees are framing the giraffe.

The type of camera that he used was a  Pentax 67II with only two fixed lenses.
These were his exactly words "To me, every creature, human or nonhuman, has an equal right to live, and this feeling, this belief that every animal and I are equal, affects me every time I frame an animal in my camera" that's his reason.
His hopes on this was to let people know that animals also deserve respect and care for like us humans do to.
"You wouldn't take a portrait of a human being from a hundred feet away and expect to capture their spirit; you'd move in close."
