Great Black and White Photographers pt. 3

1. When first looking at Lisette Model's photos, I thought there was a lot of feeling and story without any words and that caught my eye. They are also the kind of photo I really like because I like focus on the subject.

2. Picture one: I see an upset child who is wondering why their emotion is worthy of being captured. The child looks like they are caught off guard and they don't know how to react. I smell tears and saliva. I smell trees and grass and the outdoors in the evening. I hear heavy breathing from the child who is calming down. I hear cicadas and crickets. I taste my own mouth watering instinctively and the moisture in the air. I feel the emotion in the child's eyes. I feel for the loss of innocence this child will experience soon enough.

Picture two: I see two people having a celebratory kiss. The woman's eyebrows and cheeks are raised and the man's are as well. I smell wine, champagne, and perfume. I smell the odors of people. I hear conversation, music, and the noise of glasses hitting the table. I taste my drink and the smell of the room around me. I taste what my nose smells. I feel happy for the lovers, but jealous. I am sad that I can't join them in their happiness and love.

3. In order to share this photographer with the world and the rest of my class, I would either make a presentation on a computer program such as PowerPoint, or I would make a poster. I would include all of her pictures that I found appealing and I would give the date it was taken, its title if it has one, and I would give information on the photographer herself. I might also include feelings the photo portrays, such as the ones in question #2.
