Dairy Entry:
Since this time there was nothing to develop we didn't spend time in the dark room. I liked this project because it goes outside of objects and it is very unlikely that one of us is going to have the same shot as another person in our class because we aren't using each other and there for it is a lot more unique. We had to use a lot more photoshop and I have to because my flash kept of making wierd lights on the person and shadows so I had to try to get rid of the shadows and that was pretty challenging. It's also nice how it is going to be part of international day because

usually we take the pictures we need for the project, then we
just hang them up and they are just seen by people that pass by and its pretty interesting how it will take part of international day.

Contemporary:
This is the Danish Royal family. The way that they are set up is to show that the King and Queen are the core and to their sides are the sons which would be the heirs and then the wives. So in order of importance. Also the King

Classic Painting:
This portrait is from the 1800 of Queen Victoria, Prince Albert and their five children. Even though Queen Victoria and Prince Albert are at the same level Queen Victoria is looking straight ahead and making some sort
of eye contact, whereas Prince Albert is looking complety to the side, kind of uninterested. Also Queen Victoria has her arm around her her son as like he is her heir the next one in line and even though she doesn't have a threatening but she still looks as if she's standing strong.
This is the Danish Royal family. The way that they are set up is to show that the King and Queen are the core and to their sides are the sons which would be the heirs and then the wives. So in order of importance. Also the King and Queen are more towards each other once again showing more core like feeling but at the same time there is more of a fe
eling of equality than the more classical.
Compositions:
This is my brother, Tomas and here he is representing Argentina. There actually is a lot more to the traditional costume but I just wanted to draw the eye more to the belt, so the viewer has less things to look at and can concentrate on the belt.
This is Deepakie and she is from India. I've always been a big fan of the Indian culture with all the colours so I really wanted to pick a boring background to make the colours of her sari to stand out.
This is Mathili and she is from South Africa. I really wanted to represent all the colours that are usually seen in the more generalized African culture. This picture was quite the

This is Mathili and she is from South Africa. I really wanted to represent all the colours that are usually seen in the more generalized African culture. This picture was quite the
challenge the to photoshop because the background was originally bright read and it was just too much so it took some
experimenting but I got it to work and I think it looks pretty good.

Argentinian:
This is pretty typical for the Argentinian with sort of farm like rual
This is pretty typical for the Argentinian with sort of farm like rual
look to it. Even though there is no belt nor did I use a hat like that but that strap around the hat has the same style as the belt.
This picture was taken by Andrew Gibson, who is a writer and a photographer in the south of England. He really loves going to Latin America, specially Argentina, Bolivia and Peru and to try to document the life style.Indian:
I like how she is sort of praying and how she has every little jewlery on because when I took my picture it was kind of rushed because she had to go practice for her dance for International Day. And I really like the colours and how the background is blurred.

African:
This is exactly what I wanted to try and capture in my picture with the head peace and the jewlery and I like how Mathili and this woman ha
ve this sort of really strong look about them.
This picture was taken by Bill Bachmann, but I could not find much about him.
William Hogarth:
Hogarth was a very important English painter that was born in 1697 and died in 1764. He did things such as
very realistic formal portraits to almost comic like paintings. A lot of his work also suggested some kind of mockery towards the government.
Here are examples of his work.
Ex1:
"The Marriage Contract"
"The Marriage Contract"
This one is one of more of his serious work but I li
ke how it is not staged and it seems very much as a picture that captured a moment.
Ex 2:
This is more comical of him and it's not showing glamour or anything and doesn't seem as serious as the other.
Annie Leibovitz:
Leibovitz is an American photographer that was born in 1949. She has shot numerous celebrities and she is known for the close collaboration between her and the model.
Here is some of her portrait work.
Ex 1:
She took this picture in October 2009 so it's pretty recent. And of course we all know who this is, Barack Obama and his family. What is interesting is that yes he is using a red tie which usually symbolizes authority but also everyone is at the same level and it just looks like a simple family photograph.
Ex 2:
This is Queen Elizabeth, and this picture was taken during the filming of a two hour documentary about the Queen and her life. What I like about this it that she is looking away but there is still a very strong look about her and her jewelry adds to her importance.
