Cool Advertising

I like this photo because the painted arms act as leading lines to the subject of this ad. I also like how the background is nice and simple, which also brings more attention the the phone which is trying to be sold. From this picture, I would buy an AT&T phone because this advertising technique really makes the phone seem like the coolest phone in the world.

Touching People

1. I think that this is a very different type of project then normal photography. In the essence of photography, taking a picture in the natural environment is the key to getting a true emotional reaction within the photo. Instead, this photographer did the complete opposite and took two subjects of opposite backgrounds and still managed to get a real emotional reaction. I found this project particularly interesting.



2. At first I would be kind of alarmed and very skeptical, but after a while I think that I would loosen up to the idea and become more comfortable with the photo shoot.



3. I think that a fun and unusual thing to shoot would be to shoot a relationship that two nations would share.



4. I think that the photographer was really just trying to capture the true emotions of a very unusual and interesting encounter between two strangers, rather they be alike or different. This photographer took pictures based on emotion rather than composition.
