About me.
My name is brandon marshall ,i am 15 years old i am in yr 9 and i have chosen Gcse photography because i really like taking photo from what i do out side of school (bmxing) or just taking funny photos while i am out and around with my friends.The thing i find frustrating about gcse photography is all the weebly work i find it difficult to keep up with the work because i have things objects distracting me from doing my work.On my personal project page you will see some photo i have taken my self or been taken off me. Thanks for reading this hope you enjoy my weebly. :D.
What makes a good photograph ?
1.what should a good photographer express the photographers intention?how should the photograph express what the photographer wishes to say,his/her meaning? it express the photographer for them to show what they are into what they like about the type of photo and kind of give a clue in the photos to show you what the photo is about.i am not to sure what the photographers purpose to this photo is but i can say i looks like it is in a sort off olden times effect to the photo you can tell this by the way the kid is dressed and and you have the woman behind him and the little family with the buggy and the child with the woman wearing all black but its interesting thing about this photo is the kid at the front wearing the old clothes and his facial expression makes me think t be a little bit worried by the face he is pulling and that he is holding a grenade in his hands.
2.how can a good photograph communicate something that words cannot?Well in this photo i think it is to do with 70 years of love with some one or something.this shows that words cannot be used to this because it maybe do not need words to explain what the meaning for this photo is because soon as i had a look at this photo it gave me a brain full of i dears it gave me for what this photo could be about.
3.How can a good photograph engage or capture the viewer's attention?I think that a photo like this can capture a personas attention by the way the photo just looks so say if you see a really bright colours in a photo i would stop and see what it is because it just pops out (out stands)Like this photo its was one of the first ones i saw but i kept scrolling down having a look at them but there was something there making me want to scroll up and look at the photo proparly because its drawn attention threw my eyes in to my mind to want to keep looking at is so i choose this picture of this ice burg because its just a photo i faught looked interesting.
4.Can a good photograph make a person feel sympathy or sadness or happiness?I think a good photograph can give some body a sad or happy feeling because when i saw this one i felt all most happy just makes me think is this a edited photo from somebody's holiday but if i think about the photo is surpose to give you a good happy feeling about the photo.
5.Do you think that a good photograph is best shown alone,or do you think that photographs should be shown as a collection with many others?Well if someone took a photo of one thing why not take a photo of the same thing but with diferant angles and put into one photo as a excample the photo i have chosen is one i took my self.If you saw this photo with just one picture i took you would not like it but this has 4 photos of the same thing just diferant angles witch makes it look even better.So my own opinion is if one picture looks boring on its take it 3 more times maybe even more for the photo to look way more better.
6.Do you think that a good photographer can demand a responce from the viewer,for excample do you think it should make the viewer say or think something/look at the photo overleaf for excample,does this photo make you want to ask quistions?Well when saw this photo i faught it looked like a whole bunch of colours but because it has a lot of colours on the picture it made me say something because i liked the photo so much it made me say ohhhhhhh i like this one i'm going to have a closer look at the photo so i did.And from the looks of the photo it looks like a japaneese peace lilly pattern on a window with blacked out windows next to it and i said it looks like a piece full feeling inside of me it makes me just want to keep looking at it play some calm music and relax.
7.Should a good photographer be well composed and have good lightening?If i saw a lot of people looking around a photo in a gallery and everyone was talking about it and if i liked it my self then i think that it would need to be composed with lighting to make the picture stand out for everyone to go over to the photo and go have a look at it a great big talk about the photo for the whole all night and to tell every body else like their friends and family to have a look at this photo then yes a good photograph should be composed but yet i think every bodys photos should be well presented and treated the same.
