Chapter 5 discusses how photography can
be used as an art form as well as a tool in many fields such as
advertising. This chapter really
interests me because I have created many series solely as art but intend to
pursue a carrier on the artistic side of marketing or advertising, specifically
relating to photography. I believe that
photographs intended to be used as an advertising tool or as an expressive
medium are both very different yet equally extraordinary types of art. I feel that this chapter really touches on issues
within photography, which I am passionate about.
Chapter 7 is about how photography has
evolved over the ages due to technological developments. I have very mixed feelings about the
technological advances within photography, especially regarding digital. I love my digital cameras and believe that
the technological advances have lead to the capturing of outstanding
photographs but I don’t want the past art forms to be lost.
Chapter 2 focuses on how photography is
used for documentary purposes and its relation to capturing every day
moments. This section intrigues me
because I believe that photojournalism and journalism work hand in hand in
order to truly document all aspects of an event or time period. I believe that words help explain events but
nothing is able to truly convey and capture peoples responses, emotions, and
reactions to specific periods and events in time the way a photograph can.
