Margaret Bourke-White

Margaret Bourke-White Fun Facts:

Bourke-White did the first cover of Life magazine. When Russia closed its borders, she managed to get in and photograph the rise of industry. She was aggressive and relentless and was in the right place at the right time, which led to great photographs.

The photo shown above was taken in Auschwitz during WWII. She took these photographs because it was a way for her to see what was happening without seeing it with her naked eye, because this was too terrible for her to see. 
"Using the camera was almost a relief; it interposed a slight barrier between myself and the white horror in front of me." -Margaret Bourke White

Semester One Digital Portfolio

I really enjoyed photography this semester. It was much more challenging than I imagined it would be, and much more challenging than Photo 1-2. I think the thing that was hardest for me was that for each roll of film and each print, there are so many things that could go wrong. One of my rolls of film did not catch towards the beginning of the semester, which resulted in a blank roll which was very upsetting. After that, I got about 15 good prints in one day, and while I was printing, I wrote the aperture, time, and filter I used for each print on the back in pink sharpie. Not being able to use any of these prints really set me back time wise and used up a lot of paper. But through this I learned a valuable lesson and I will not repeat this mistake in the future. My favorite images are the first, seventh, and eighth images. I really like each one for a different reason- the first one for the composition, the seventh for the mood, and the eighth for the lighting and contrast. My least favorite is the pumpkin and the wheelbarrow one, because I think it is the weakest compositionally. In the future, I would love to explore lighting more because I find this element very interesting and fun to work with.

Motion

The two following types of motion are used by using a faster shutter speed, anywhere from 200 to 1500. This is done to freeze the motion. The third photo uses a slower shutter speed, such as 1 or 2, in order to capture the movement rather than freeze it.
