Documentary photography
My definition of documentary photography is that it inspires and also really brings out your creative side. For example when I was doing some of my course work for photography when I was younger I really enjoyed all the different types of angles that you can take pictures from. Another example is that my favorite angle is birds eye view because pictures from above look really hilarious and can also make you see something in that angle that you can't see in any others.
My evaluation
In these photos we were told to take portrait photos and include a lot of natural lighting, inspired by Dawoud Bey.My overall thoughts on this project are that this was very fun but also good so when we take photos later on in the course we will be able to use different types of photos.
My Evaluation on Adama Jalloh.
The reason I chose this is because she's from Nigeria which adds diversity and also she very interesting to listen and learn from. Because in the future I will use her amazing information for my pictures and can hopefully make people as happy as how she does. |

I liked these pictures I took of my friend (Narcisse) because he changes positions which I found interesting to photograph since you can see all the different angles.

My Homework Evaluation.
I really enjoyed taking these pictures since me and this particular person [Ishaq Mohamed] have a good bond and friendship. I was inspired to take these pictures of ishaq since I was listening to play boi carti, the name of the song was sky and as you can see by the background you can see the sunset. And also I took pictures from above because its birds eye view
I chose this because from the selection of the images that I had this seemed to be the best in terms of the subject matter. This is one of my friends and he is playing basketball on the court. I took this image as it looks natural but it is in fact a staged imaged as I asked him to pose like this. The background is a typical school building and a little of the grass can be seen. I would make the picture higher so you can see the net. The space is used well as the person is centered within the image but I think that this applies to the bottom half of the image mainly. If I edited the image I would remove the negative space above the picture.

Evaluation on my work
In general, Tyler’s work he usually uses mid range and close range photo. Also in his work he mainly uses quite abstract pictures which is very good for gaining attention which could lead to companys and businesses wanting him to take more pictures. But i especially like the fact that he really shows black people true side to them and not what people assume there like.

This is my favorite collage because i really like the way these photographs have been placed out. For example, on the left side there are two pictures of the same person and the same for the other side, also I thought that on the far right and left hand side if there were only pictures of specific people then more towards the middle its more of a variety of photographs.
A photograph I really like is the one with the girl looking off into the distance with the trees in the background. I really like the way she's so perfectly in the middle of the picture also the shade of the different shaped trees in the back ground which I really like. Furthermore, I left a picture of my friend that I took because it refers to how important my friends are to me.

My edited selection
I have chosen these pictures because I like the way how the colors all in somewhat sense look similar and have the same type of vibrant background which will be very nice for when I arrange them in the order I found on Pinterest.
I have chosen this display as I like the way it looks, also since i couldn’t find any name card holders i had to replace them with clips.
I took photographs of my friends in school as part of my community, I took photographs of them involved in activities such as, posing, smiling, laughing and talking . I have chosen these pictures as my final project because there is a variety of images, for example some of these images are negative photographs and some of them are positive black and white images. Another main reason why i chose these pictures is because the majority of the pictures are with a black and a white person and this is because i wanted to show how much we have all come as a country to show equality and when were together were stronger. I decided to choose these pictures because these images are my friends and it shows how well friends work together and also the positive side to every story. My understanding of these pictures is that i have used my imagination and pure skill in order to take these photographs. I have rearranged these pictures many times and this formation is the best for me. The people in these pictureas i have a great platonic relationship with them and we even hang out outside of school. Furthermore, for my negative pictures i went into the dark room, and in their i made photograms because i was inspired by manray and Mojholy Nagy.
Documenting Place
I think that these photographs from Nick Meyer reflect the area because all the images are different from one another. He has chosen to photograph lots of elements related to the area. Not just people but all of the architecture and small things such as the plant pot the book the hand dryer. I don't think that these images make a great sequence as all of the images are different. They have been taken in the same area but they don't go well together in my opinion
I think these images of Nick Meyer represent the idea of adventure, because these types of photographs are something you would come across while maybe exploring or just somewhere with your friends.

I chose these images because i like the angle that they are taken at, also the similarity is that they are all photographs of in front of a shop.
The difference in theses images is that some have been taken in black and white but also some have been taken while the shop was open and some of them were when the shops were closed. When taking these photographs depending on what time it is there may be people around the shop and that could maybe give you a inside look on the community within the image. Also these images give you a sense of mystery since you don’t really know whats going on behind the camera and also within the shops. If i had the chance to ask the photographer why she took these images, i would say what inspired you to take these pictures.
Peter Mitchell
Peter Mitchell takes most of his pictures in Leeds, within his images he is usually showing shopfronts in different areas. His photography gives me a sort of melancholic vibe like its reflecting off of his emotions. For example, if he takes images of a bright shop front it could be reflecting that he may be feeling some type of happiness but, if the scenery within his image is quite dark or gloomy it could be reflecting on his sad mood. I think that his photographs were taken on a film camera since they were taken in 1992. Peter seems to only take photos of shopfront, compared to other photographers like Tyler Mitchell who took photos of people using abstract props and different types of scenery’s reflecting on the props on the person that is having their photo taken.
