Brandon Stanton's Upcoming Male Photographer Analysis

Born in 1934, Jerry Uelsmann grew up an inner city kid of Detroit. In high school, Uelsmann worked as an assistant for a photography studio; he eventually photographed weddings. Uelsmann went to Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) where he met Minor White, who “introduced [him] to the concept that photography could be used for self-expression” (Berman). While at RIT, he studied with Bruce Davidson, Peter Turner and Car Chiaraenza, with whom he held frequent discussions on how photography could be different. After RIT, Uelsmann went to Indiana University where he changed his degree to a Master of Fine Arts degree. He graduated with an M.S. and an M.F.A at Indiana University in 1960, where he studied with Henry Holmes Smith, who had

Photographing the world around her, Erin Carr explores her past raised in suburban America. Growing up in a man's world, she reminds us of the everyday reminders of masculinity. Specially, settings one might come upon in the United States, like a deer head in a empty ballroom and a bust of a military officer. These objects can be thought of as "trophies" that embody the historic dominance and success that men have had.

Before starting this project, I knew very little about photography, photographers, or exactly how much impact photographical images have had on our society. I have never taken a photography class, or researched too in depth about specific pictures or photographers. This project has allowed me to delve deeper into the world of photography in order to understand just how much influence pictures can have over society’s beliefs, emotions, and understandings’. I have have chosen two highly influential photographers, Diane Arbus and Dorothea Lange, who I have found to both resonate with me and perfectly capture human emotions in way that moves others.

The first thing I will write about is a person, Jacob Riis. A esteemed author of the book “How the other half Lives”, published in the 1890s. Riis was a pioneer in the time when photography was first starting to catch on. In Riis’s photos he took pictures of people who lived in the slums of the major cities and how they lived. He was termed a Muckraker by our late president Theodore Roosevelt, because journalists like him would, as he would say, rake through all the good things and bad on the ground and only report the bad of the world. But Riis was one of the men of his era

Chase Jarvis is a famous modern photographer born in Seattle, Washington. His parents had no ties to photography, one being a Police officer and the other working in a biotech company. Chase had no early intentions of being a photographer. He got his degree in Physiology at the San Diego State University. He was admitted to the University under a soccer scholarship. Chase was one week away from graduation when his Grandfather passed away and left him all his photography gear, and when he took a trip to Europe his love for photography took off (“Biography”) .

Photography is more than just an art, it is a form of living, in a way. It is history, art, all the emotions humankind has to offer. Bruno Barbey once said, “photography is the only language that can be understood around the world”, Aaron Siskind quoted “photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever. It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.” Steve McCurry, whose picture is above once stated, a picture can express universal humanism, or simply reveal a delicate and poignant truth by exposing a slice of life that might otherwise pass unnoticed. He was born and raised in Philadelphia, graduating cum laude from the College of Arts and Architecture at Pennsylvania State University, after which he proceeded to work at a newspaper company for two years before deciding to freelance in India. He became known globally for the National Geographic cover

Since taking up photography as his primary medium – a skill which he taught himself- Welling has shifted away from this approach to creating art with an objective and critical message, instead creating works that continue to push the limits of the medium, exploring and documenting light while questioning the very nature of a photograph.(. Furthermore, much like the work of other Pictures Generation artists, Welling's work is preoccupied with the past. However, while the pictures generation artists tend to be focused on a relatively recent cultural history, Welling instead explores more distant histories that in many ways seem more personal and

Edward Weston came into this world on March 24, 1886, in Highland Park, Illinois. As is mother died while he was still very young, his father doted upon him. He, much like Adams, did not fair well in formal schooling. His father gifted him with a box camera, a Bull’s Eye No. 2 from the Boston Camera Co. at the age of 16. (That would be 1902, the same year that Ansel Adams was born.) In 1906, he had his first submission printed in Camera & Darkroom entitled, Spring. That same year, he moved to California, working as a surveyor for a railroad company. He returned to Illinois only to attend the Illinois College of Photography, just to show his girlfriend’s father that he would be able to support himself and his daughter if they were married. He

At the beginning of my essay, I am going to attach a picture by Laura Williams, one of my favorite photographer from United Kingdom. I am going to describe her picture and tell the people why this picture is special to me. After that, I am going to tell my experience that make this picture seems special.

Photography gave a face to the people that were often over looked; women, slaves, and non western now were being portrayed in greater numbers than before. Even as the portrayal of these people grew, the depiction of these groups were manipulated by the photographers in order to convey and fulfill the desired perceptions of the western society. These groups of people became a commodity in western society due to the the efforts by photographers to shape the portrayal of the photo’s subject(s), but these efforts were overridden by the agency that the subjects utilized, either by reshaping or refusing to fit the stereotypes placed upon them.
