The Genius of Photography- Snap Judgements

Q1. It is predicted that more than 880 billion photographs are taken every year.

Q2. Gregory Crewdson works more like a film director that a photographer. He works with production crews and uses cinematic lighting to capture elaborately staged images. His work as a dramatic feel, often focusing on small town America.

Q3. Vintage prints are the most valuable. The are original copies of the image that have been made by the photographer and can be very expensive.

Q4. Andreas Gursky produces very few prints. He once only produced two works over a number of years. He photographs vast landscape spacial images and prints in a very large format. His work also displays vivid use of colour.

Q5. Seydou Keitas photography usually deals in family portraits. His photography is different because it does not deal with themes such as poverty, famine and war which is common in a lot of African photography. He had many props in his studio for his customers such as cars to give the illusion of wealth and class which was the main idea of his work. He also dealt with the African upper middle classes.
