Miss Maxwell in the name of God
Introduction
The work has been very different with Miss Maxwell than what we have been doing with Mr Walker. With Miss Maxwell we have been focusing on manipulating images and also portrait photography as with Mr walker we have been targeting more bland plain images with buildings instead of each other. Both teachers have given us very different creative perspectives.

Image analysis:Martin Douglas, Dorothy courts enters a newly desegregated school
This image was taken to show black women like Dorothy courts taking full advantage of the new law and also that she is not scared of enrolling at a white school, Dorothy courts is being portrayed as fearless and courageous. This picture was taken in little rock, Arkansas. The purpose of the picture is to show america that the law has made discrimination and segregation worse, it has been taken to tell america that they need to bring a new law and keep it enforced. I can see from the photograph that dorothy courts must be nervous as there are two via bodyguards protecting her from the racist mob. This picture make me feel sorry and also ashamed that my race has been so dishonourable and horrible towards people of a different skin colour.

Steve irvine:research
These are some pictures of Steve Irwin's work I like the above images because I like the contrast between the black and white and I also like how the photographer has composed his shots. I can see that this photographer must have liked the outdoors because lots of his pictures are of landscapes and nature. Steve Irvine uses long uses of exposure which i think makes the photo that bit more interesting. he also uses a variety of shadows which gives the image a spiritual feeling. Steve Irvine was born in silver springs, Maryland on October 23rd 1980.
Whats pinhole photography?
Pinhole photography uses a camera without a lens but it has a pinhole. this means it has a light proof box with only one hole which means when the light is refracted inside the aperture it projects an inverted image on the opposite side of the box, this is known as the obscura effect.

My HDR toning photographs
Whats HDR toning?
HDR toning also known as high dynamic range is a technique that is used in imaging to create a greater range of luminosity than any photoshop technique or standard digital imaging. it also brings out the contrast and shadows of the original picture whilst keeping the high light details.

Jason Travis research
I am going to work in a similar way to Jason travis to do this i will replicate what he has done, i will arrange my peers belongings so that it matches there emotions and also the personalities. to do this i will have to study their facial expressions so that i can get a guess at what emotion they are doing. I will try to copy the composure that Jason travis has done, he always has the portrait of the person in the middle of the frame.

This is my practise attempt at copying Stephanie jung work in my opinion I think it has worked really well. I really like the middle four. These pictures are of west derby school. During the first hour of my lesson I used my canon DSLR camera to take these pictures. I walked around my school to see if there was any interesting compositions I could take, these are the ones I found.
