Researching the following artists related to my main project

To do my project "The Sad Story about Littering", I decided to look for inspiration among interesting photographers who deal with artistic photography and typical street reportage. Due to the fact that I have to make a street story in the form of a photo book, the inspiration of the artists discussed below seems right.

Henri Cartier-Bresson 

He was a French photographer who was born in Chanteloup, France, on August 22, 1908, and died in Céreste, France, on August 3, 2004. Henri Cartier-Bresson was a passionate street and reporter photographer. In a special and poetic way, he was able to capture the right moment in a photograph. His works are appreciated all over the world to this day. Movement is very important in his photographs. He photographed in black and white style. In my story, I would also like to use black and white photography as a form of communication. By capturing the right moment, I would like my photos to come to life and be more interesting for the recipient. Below are some examples of his photos.

Henri Cartier-Bresson - The Gare Saint-Lazare, 1932

When working on my project, I would like to use non-obvious compositions as in the picture. Reflection in the water surface. Blurred motion. Vertical photography. The photo above shows just such a picture. The photo shows slight chaos. This photo is black and white. The man in the photo is black, so probably had light behind him and the photo was taken without a lamp. The artist captured this man movement in an interesting way. 

Henri Cartier-Bresson The Var department. Hyères, France. 1932

The photo above shows another non-obvious frame. The photo was taken from above. Movement the same as in the previous photo is blurred. What I could be inspired by in my project is position from which the photo was taken. Also, I could blur the movement of some passer- by to bring photography to life. 

Bruce Gilden

Another interesting photographer that inspires me to create my project is Bruce Gilden. He was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1946. This photographer takes very dynamic street photos. We can see emotions very clearly in the pictures. The method of framing is non-obvious and unique. The artist became famous for photographing people very closely with the use of flash paw. I would like to use and slightly modify this method in my story. I want to take very close pictures of the hero of my story about littering the streets. Below are some examples of his photos.



Antoine Repessé

Another photographer who inspires me in creating my project about garbage is Antoine Repessé. In 2011, this photographer stopped throwing away his recyclable rubbish to create an interesting series of photos related to the subject of waste. His most famous project is called "365 Unpacked". Below are some interesting photo ideas that I can use in my project. For example, I can bury my character in garbage to drama the whole situation.

    Glad you added it. However, add references. This will give you extra marks for passing this module.

Major Project Milanote

My milanote contains a plan to create a story about a plasticine figure who came out to explore the city. At first, he is fascinated and happy to be able to explore the city. However, over time, he meets a lot of rubbish on his way, which causes depression and finally brings the character to death. In my milanote, I plan my character, plan his name. I need to take about 15-20 photos and create a virtual book. There are many more things I have to think about. What lenses will I use for my project.Will use any flash.  There is still a lot to add.

Website creation - UX Testing & Feedback

Today I checked Feedback about my website.   Almost 63 percent of respondents say my website looks good. I've improved a lot since the survey. I have removed the white background. I changed galleries.                                 Most of the respondents say that navigating my website is good.                                      Half of the respondents say that the subpage called "About me" looks good, half have an average opinion.                                     Most of the respondents liked the photos on my website.                                      Most of the respondents like my home page     ...

Software testing - Adobe Lightroom

I am using Lightroom in conjunction with Photoshop. Adobe Lightroom is a program used to organize the work of a photographer. It is also a great editing tool. W can also prepare in this program photos to print.We can import, manage, organise, and find our  photographs with the aid of Lightroom. In contrast, Lightroom is a product that combines photo management and photo editing. For me the most important advantage of this program is that I can catalog my photos. Everything is orderly and clear. Below is a video with basic lightroom features. Below is my example of using lightroom. At the beginning, on the left side, I chose from the top bar: File - Import Photos and Videos. Then, as in the Youtube video, I chose the photos to be edited. I downloaded the pictures that interest me. Then I played with the sliders on the right side a bit. I got rid of the overexposure in the picture. I added some textures. I didn't have to do much with this picture because it was done correctly. I...
