TASK #1:
- what is each image trying to tell you?
Each image is showing its own subject about some kind of either problem or just everyday things.
- why did he take that photograph?
I believe he took the image that i chose because he wanted to show an everyday person doing what they usually do to show some of us that not everyone has a car, not everyone is rich, not everyone has the opportunities that others might.
- how do you feel when you look at this image ? why do you think you feel that way?
When I look at this image I feel happy because of all the bright colors, but then I start to look deeper into the image. Like the elder ladies facial expression she doesn’t look angry but at the same time she doesn’t look happy. I also feel like they don’t live in the best of neighborhoods by the way there is writing and scratches on the windows but i am unsure.
- what does Michael Coyne believe to be the most important things when taking the photograph?
Michael Coyne believes that the most important thing when taking a photograph is connecting with the people before he takes the picture so people don’t get caught up with all of the equipment.
- what did you find most interesting about Michael Coyne’s short presentation?
I found the part about talking to the people and getting to know the people before taking the image was very interesting because I never thought of people doing that. I always thought they just went out found something interesting and took a picture of it, be he actually gets to know the people that he takes the pictures of. so i found that very interesting.
