Why did I choose photography?I chose photography because I found it an interesting subject to learn and can also be fun. I also selected it because I like using cameras like taking pictures of places. I have also been a photographer for a few party's before. One other reason why I chose photography was my photography skills are pretty good but I thought I could improve on taking pictures .
On the right is a slideshow of a bunch of photos I've taken which were good but could of been better for a couple of simple but different reasons.

Favorite PhotographerOne of my favorite photographer's is Bill Brandt. Born as Herrmann Wilhelm Brandt born and raised in Hamburg, Germany from the 2nd of May 1904.
In 1933 at the age of 29/30 Bill and his family moved to England now with a British heritage. He is famous for his Documentary Photography he took during the Blitz focusing on the Underground shelters whilst he was commissioned by the Ministry of Information. He also tried to give a different impression if Britain in the Blitz by getting photos of children playing football in the street, along with the truth of the Blitz. There is a exhibition about him at the Victoria & Albert Museum His fame is the reason why I like him because during the Blitz he used the Blackouts to his advantage for his photography of London during the blitz. He died in London on the 20th of December 1983 at the age of 79 he will always remain one of my favorite photographers of all time. |
