indeed. com – one job i would be interested in the photography department would be Real Estate Photographer. i think this would be a prefect job because i also would like to start a career in the real estate department and having that job would allow me get contacts and help with it. once i become a real estate agent i can become my own photographer. for this job it doesn’t require but is encouraged: 1 year of photographer, real estate photographer, and US work authorization. what ill need for this job is to know how to take picture with a drone and take  interior/exterior with a DSLR camera.

Experiences: the first story that caught my attention right away was the Architectural Photography. It caught my attention because the building looked so beautiful and mysteries. i love how the photographer can make a simple building look so big and magical. what the article made realized is how important photography is and how it can be used everywhere. when the photographer talked about how her family was in the real estate business it inspired me for the future since i was looking into real estate it inspired me to be my own photographer which can result in saving money and take the pictures how i want them to come cross customers. a simple photo can make a huge difference either it makes someone look more into it or just scroll on. The second story that caught my eye was the Photojournalist. i love how every picture is never the same, different situation, different emotions and its a raw moment rather than posed. this story also made me realized how powerful photography is and how we without realizing it, we can be photojournalist too.

-The photograph, ” Iraqi Girl at Checkpoint” by Chris Hondros, was the photo that caught my attention right away and when i read it, it made me feel sad and disappointment. The photo caught my attention because it was a little girl with blood on her and i wanted to know her story and what role did the US have in this since i saw the solider. what also caught my attention was the little girl’s expression, she has so much pain on her face and can tell something extremely horrible had happened.
This had a great impacted on me and caused an emotion within me is because this was an innocent family trying to find a better place for them and the child, they were trying to find hope and salvation in a new country. what makes me extremely heartbroken is the parents left this world without knowing what was going to happen to their daughter, they didn’t know if she was going to find a better home or suffer a worse faith. what also makes me sad was that the little girl will forever be traumatized by the killing of her parents, i cant imagine how much she misses them, how much therapy she needs and how many nights she kept replaying the scene in her mind. what’s also sickening is that this is not the first innocent family that was killed and not the first who have been killed in the hands of people who are supposed to protect us and have been trained to carry a situation with calmness even if there was a weapon there. i have no idea what was going through the soldiers mind and i hope i never meet anyone like that because in the video shown no matter the story they give out, u can clearly see they shot them without even searching their car or letting them get out to it can be search, i believe they did not care and just did what they wanted, especially since they are in a foreign country, and white soldiers think they are superior in which they believe they can take people life’s away like nothing . there are many situation like this that will continue and my heart truly goes out to that little girl and those who have counter a situation like this.
i find Wassily Kandinsky work extremely fascinating, i never knew simple shapes can be so captivating. what i love about this photo is that it tells a story and creates something more than just shapes. what i think this photo is telling is the good vs the bad, the brighter colors(yellow, light blue) is the good side of the people, turning their backs on the bad and the darker colors is the badness of the world, trying to corrupt the good.
sandy skoglund work is very different and eye catching. i find her work to be interesting but mostly disturbing and weird due to the fact that the main subjects are not normally seen together and the different positions they are in. what i do like about her work is the awareness it can bring, ex: the picture above is titled ” germs are everywhere” which stresses the point of keeping the house and yourself clean. i also like the different colors, that is what caught my attention straight away.

why photography is important to me: the main reason photography is important to me is because it has played a major part in my life, capturing many memories. For example due to photography i am able to see how i was and looked like when i was a baby and a little kid. being able to see that has brought me a sort of comfort because my childhood memories are the only ones i cant recall on my own. My childhood and pictures at the moment can also be a collection of my life and create a storyline to be able to show my future family.

another reason photography can be important is because it can be awareness to many things throughout the world: climate change, in equality, murders, crimes, racism, etc. For example, without photography the Black lives matters would be difficult to spread awareness or show the world what was happening in the USA.

WHY IS PHOTOGRAPHY THE PERFECT JOB?

When reading the article ” Why Being a Photographer Is (Probably) the Best Job in the World” i have notice photography truly is a perfect job especially in our current time and the future. the need for photography has and will continue increasing over time, photography is one of the main jobs used in other careers such as in crime scenes, fashion, sports, social media, restaurants etc, its used throughout the world. this also allows for great experience, since there is many different types of photography, you can explore and experience what type of photography is best for you. not only do you find your type of photography but you can also travel the world, create stories and have the opportunity to meet great people. another benefit is being able to work during your own hours, you can choose when or where it would be perfect for your photos.

tintype image is a photograph made by making a positive (opposed to a negative) on a thin sheet of metal. tintype have this old vintage vibe to them.
steps of creating a tintype image:
once I imported the image to pixlr i started changing the color and the tone
i then layered an old vintage background on the photo, messing around with the layer so the details would still be there but you would still be able to see the stuff animal
on a mission
I chose this topic to fight for because equal pay is another step for women to be equal to men and have rights. its injustice and unfair for women to be working the same job and position as men and still be payed less. Paying women the same amount would solve many problems for them, for example, women who are in abusive or toxic relationships who have a family, majority of the time can not leave due to not having enough money to support a family on their own. i can not see the opposite view because why would you be against something that is fair? why take away money from women when they worked hard for it ? why should men deserve more, when it mostly women work AND take care of the whole family?

SIVILER LIST PHOTOGRAPHERS

i like this photographer’s format the most because i love how once you enter his website it goes straight towards his portfolio, which is what i want to see first when it comes to photography. what caught my attention about this photographer was the fact that I have not seen this type of work before. i love the different paints of color that they are in, they look like artwork, a masterpiece. What also brought my attention was the unique positions they are in, some flying, falling, dancing etc.

Clarke’s format was not the best, I was confused on where to go or where my mouse/arrow was at. what i like about this photographer was her photos, i think she had great composition, i love the bright colors in some photos and the neutral tones in others.
