Analyzing Photographs

Robert Capa

A famous photographer whose work is based in World War 2 and shows some of the most iconic battles in world war 2. He works in black and white due to those being the only cameras available at the time and took pictures of American soldier through ww2 as it progressed

The FlagThe flag is one of Roberts’s most famous pieces he’s done. I would categorize this in war. It is being taken to show the Americans taking control of the war and fighting back and give hope that they are slowly winning the war. The focus range is the hill they are on the soldiers and of course the flag itself as it is the most important part of this photograph. The whole frame itself shows soldiers with a flag working together to put their flag on the hill they are wearing their uniform a helmet, small bags and boots they are standing on a hill with what looks like broken branches all around them. The lighting is all natural and based upon the sun hitting the soldiers and flag.

Carry on walkingAnother Robert Capa photograph from world war 2 showing a bunch of us troops walking to their next location. I would categorize this in war. It is being taken to show the U.S troops going to their next location meanwhile you can see a bunch of friendly blimps flying idle behind them all. The soldiers are in focus as are the blimps but the background is in focus it is out a bit as it is not as noticeable as the soldiers walking and blimps lazily flying. In the frame are soldiers heavily armored and with quite a few weapons on them walking in one direction and some look depressed which is to be expected in the war. There are a few trucks in the background by a sign. There are two blimps flying around one very close and a second quite far away. The light is all natural and relied upon the suns light shining down on the soldiers walking.

Charlie Waite's

Charlie Waite’s is more of a natural photographer who takes pictures of forests woods and takes pictures or anything natural from tees to the ocean and rivers and a simple field.

The woodsThe woods is a photograph taken by Charlie Waite’s the image is just a road going straight and a bunch of trees following it. The main focus is the trees and road upfront as you can see everything from the roots of the tree to the patterns of the trees bark and the blades of grass but as the photograph goes on the image gets less detailed and less focused. The main image itself is shown to look more like a tunnel as it goes on. Everything in frame is natural the trees and the grass and has nothing but nature no people or animals. The light is natural it is the sun behind the clouds giving the photo a depressing look.

Tree in the lightThe main focus in this photograph is the tree in the middle of this field the rest of the picture is less noticeable as they are covered in shade but in the background is a mountain and at the front is a field. It has been taken to show the locations beauty as it has a miserable field and nothing out of the ordinary and then there’s an amazing tree with the sunlight making it stand out and the main focus of this picture. The only light in this picture is the sun hitting the tree through the clouds above it.
