Research #3


This picture is extrodinary becaseu it has two different types of dolphins swimming under the sun. I think this picture is a symbol of hope beucase it shows how different species can interact with each other.


This picture depicts a cow and her calf making the long trek through the empty ocean. Also this picture shows his love for marine life.



This picture has some really good elements such as the sunset, the wave the boats making and the dolphins jumping out of the water.




This picture is sad. But it's also true. This picture shows Talbot's love for marine life as well as his "trying to fix injustice" way of life.


I like this picture becuase it captures how beautiful dolphins really are. I also have this picture at home and always admire at the finesse that taking this picture must have taken.




Bob Talbot's stunning photographs of marine life and his deep commitment to its conservation have earned him international renown. His fascination with creatures of the sea began when he took up snorkeling on the coast of southern California at the age of eight; by thirteen he was a certified diver. While studying photography during his teens, Talbot's many expeditions included trips to the Pacific Northwest to photograph orcas and to Hawaii to photograph humpback whales. He realized that through his photographs he could educate people about the urgent need to conserve animal life, and since 1979 his work has been published in magazines such as Audubon, Go, Omni and Natural History, as well as in numerous books and multimedia productions. Through his work, including his remarkable posters, Talbot displays the magic and the wonder of his majestic subjects as they appear in their native habitats.

Paul Strand was born in to New York City to Bohemian parents, in his late teens Strand was a student of renowned documentary photographer Lewis Hine at the Ethical Culture Fieldston School. It was while on a fieldtrip in this class that Strand first visited the. – operated by Stieglitz, where exhibitions of work by forward-thinking modernist photographers and painters would move Strand to take his photographic hobby more seriously.

Assignment 5 Reshoot





This is the coffee mug shot I did in the first or second assignment. I revamped it with some window light. I shot this in color and the black- conversion was very frustrating because it took a long time.
