These are all the components in a camera that I have learned about so far this year. This includes shutter speed, aperture, white balance, ISO and noise. The "composition rules" in taking photos is also part of this slideshow. This includes rule of thirds, balancing elements, leading lines, symmetry, patterns, viewpoint, background, D.O.P (depth of field), framing, cropping and experimentation. Below is research on famous photographers and what their career is, where they came from, who they are, and their intent.
Richard Avedon is a fashion and portrait photgrapher who was born in New York. In 1944 he started advertisment photography for a local retail business and was soon recognized by an art director of Harper's Bazaar. In 1946 he opened his owned studio and started producing photos for Vogue Magazine and Life Magazine. Avedon soon became the chief photographer of Harper's Bazaar and created photos for Life Magazine until 1950. He normally photographed models smiling, laughing and showing emotion in outdoor settings, but then became dissatisfied with the outdoors for photography and moved to studio photography in the late 1950's. Diana Vreeland left Harper's Bazaar in 1962 to work for Vogue and Avedon left with her to join in her staff for photography. He then became lead photography for Vogue in 1973 and then became cheif photographer in 1988 producing almost all cover photos for Vogue. He then ended up working with Gianni Versace, Calvin Klein, Brook Shields, The Beatles, Dior, Marilyn Monroe, Andy Worhol, Revlon cosmetics, Colgate toothpaste and many many more companies and models. After a life-long career, Avedon died in 2004 from a cerebral hemorridge in a San Antonio, Texas hospital.
Annie Leibovitz is a photographer originally from Waterbury, Connecticut. She traveled the globe with her U.S. Navy father for the first many years of her life and returned back to the U.S. at the age of 21. She started to work for Rolling Stone Magazine and in 1973 she was soon promoted to chief photographer which she held this place for the next 10 years. In 2009 she won the Royal Photographic Society's Centenary Medal and Honorary Fellowship for showing continuous support and creativity in the world of photography. She photographed subjects such as the Rolling Stones, Joan Armatrading, John Lennon, Taylor Swift, Jennifer Lawence, Meryl Streap, Queen Elizabeth II and many more public figures. In conjunction with her day to day photos, she also has a series of photographs of celebs recreating famous disney scenes entitled Disney Dream Portraits.
