The cover of Shrimpton peering from behind a bright pink Day-Glo space helmet was designed by Art Directors Ruth Ansel and Bea Feitler. This photograph, with the Harpers Bazaar logo vibrating against it in acid green has been often reproduced as an emblem of the sixties.

2. Emotionally irresistible (that’s the image’s appeal)

3. Arousing curiosity (that’s to pull the casual glancer in)

4. Intellectually stimulating, interesting (that’s to promise benefits)

5. Efficient, fast, easy to scan (that’s showing off the service)

Portrait and self-portrait tips and ideas

TIPS

Use your imagination! A self-portrait can reveal a lot about you, by including props and even other people that are meaningful in your life. If you've never attempted to shoot a self-portrait, expand your creative horizons and give it a try. 

A self-portrait doesn't have to be of your face—the image of two hands holding a camera says a lot about the photographer who shot his own portrait. You can also aim the camera down your body from eye level. I once took a photo of my own feet in hiking shoes, hanging over the edge of a rocky outcropping in a scenic spot (if you try something like this, just make sure you're in a safe place that you won't fall from). A picture like this will say a lot about your activities and surroundings.  

Have fun with it. Be sexy. Be yourself. Be awesome. Be different. Be creative. Whatever you do, have fun with it. That’s part of the point, after all. 

 Environmental portrait

 I really like this phot for a couple of reasons. Mainly because I really enjoy photos that tell a story, that has to do with everyday life, and that makes you feel what the photo is really about. The setting is nice in the photo and you it gives a sense of what she feels. You can tell she's depressed and isn't happy with herself.

 Again like I said I love photos that have to do with everyday, this one is unique because not only does it tell and story and contribute to everyday life but it sends off a message. Plus its black and white giving it that only upsetting feeling in the photo

This photo is really unique and I love how there are 

many different things and ways, you can make a self portrait.

 This self portrait is really unique as well. I like how the bathroom isn't really clean at all and you can tell its old. She looks like she has a lot on her mind that's bothering her. I love this picture everything about it is beautiful. 

I love this photo, this is actually my friend Megan. I think this because this whole photo expresses who she is. Everything in the back ground is so fun and free I love how the cat is looking at her and the boarder around the photo.

This photo looks like it was taken unexpectedly at a part of some sort. I love the style of the girl and her not caring about anything expression on her face. I love how the photo is edited. How grungy she looks.

Welcome back!!

 

 I think this is just over all a cool picture, I love the different colors. Its looks like a great deal of water is falling out of the sky, which wouldn't usually be weird. But this picture is just so unique. Something you wouldn't see everyday. Plus my favorite is the little tree.

 I love this photo simply because I adore the stars. It looks like a mix between morning and night. It looks like right when the sun is coming up in the morning but also like night is trying to take over forming a bright white light in the center.

 

This photo is very different. It looks like an abandoned old church, but when you think of old abandon churches you think pale colors and dirt, but that the weird part of this photo the colors are so bright and beautiful of blues, teals, greens, and a little bit of a orangey yellow. Like an underwater abandoned church!

Choice Sheets

I would like to be in yearbook because it seems not really easier but more fun. I'm more interested in the year book, and choosing how I want it to look at set it up. Plus I could get to go to most of the games, fun school activities and take pictures of memorable moments. Newspaper seems so serious and I;m not really into that. Plus 50 stories!!! That's a lot, and I know for a fact a bunch of students will want a yearbook over the school newspaper.

Abandoned Theme Parks

1. Tell me which amusement park featured in the two articles that you would like to visit and take your camera along and what about that park made you want to go there. Write at least a paragraph.


Its a tie between, Six Flags in New Orleans, or Okpo Land, South Korea. Six Flags because it looks so beautiful nad I love how abandoned it looks. Its like it has character. It also gives it this scary vibe and I want to go around and take pictures of whatever I see. Plus its kind of old school looking. The park in South Korea because it seems cool to go to a a park I've never even seen before because I've been to six flags before and in the pictures it seems so peaceful and I love the photos the photographer took of the park. They inspire me.

2. Post one photo from that park. You may use the photos from the link, or you can google an entirely new photo. I would prefer to see a photo of the park in disrepair and not a photo of it when it was still operating.

3. Think of at least FIVE other unusual places you think would be of interest to photographers. List them.

• Abandon Churches.
• Big cities.
• Under the ocean
• Paris
• Other countries.

4. Use google or another search engine to research ONE of your five places and see if anyone has already started documenting that place. If you find that someone has already started - post at least one photo of their work.

5. Write a paragraph about why you think that it would be fun to document that location. Tell me what interests you about that place and what kind of photos you could expect to take there.


I am really interested in old places, or abandon places especially if they were around and running year and years and years before I was even thought of, I like to see how people back then lived and the differences between how those places look then to now. I would take pictures of not the church itself but parts inside like this one.

6. Tell me what it would take for you to go and take photos at your location. What would you need as far as equipment goes, travel plans, expenses you might encounter and what laws you would have to take into consideration to take photos at your spot.

I would first have to ask the owner or some sort of authority to ask permission if I were allowed to go, if yes then I would have to find a way there, I'd probably get a crew of people to go with me and map out like 10-20 churches and rent a van and travel around to get to those places, I might have to take a plain a couple times but I'd do those last. I'd need of course a camera probably a camera light. I would also need a passport going into another country and such.
