Emulating A Professional Photographer
My best work
I choose this one as my best pic since I really like the entire sense it has gave to me. Especially when I look through left to right.The back light or visual conflict with light and shadow can make me feel a sense of peace and tranquility.And the shadow just gives me the illusion of splitting the picture into half
I think the hardest part is in, what angle you need to shoot through. Many times I need to find a perfect angle to press the shutter, including constantly adjusting the ISO size to ensure that the light and shadows are within a reasonable range.
I think in the future I need to create better images by expressing my understanding of the structure of the images in more detail

I really like and being attracted by this picture which took by the high perspective technique.I have to say that the color of entire picture are pretty much the same and this makes the picture harmonious.The position of the puppy's eyes and head in the picture made it obvious to me that this was a cute way to interact. The little bit of rainbow is also the most surprising part to me.

My best work
I think this is the best picture for this assignment because I think this image will let the viewer know at a glance what season it is and where I took a picture. The green color also gives the viewer a pleasant feeling. I think even the pictures in the Aesthetically Evaluative category. I also need to be very careful about what the focus is in the center of my shot and whether I need to completely cover all the green in my shot? Even after adjusting the aperture I still need to use filters and adjust parameters to achieve a state that I'm comfortable with.I like to take some landscape photos,so I will try to integrate different kinds of techniques and ideas in the future.

beach in the Bahamas makes me think that this is a place with fresh air and blue water, I really like the feeling that this photo divides the sky and the sea horizon in two, the place where the sea meets the land is a gradient color but this makes people feel no sense of contradiction

Presentation
Intro
In my presentation I chose Bill Cunningham's work and philosophy to explain why he has had a profound impact on me. His shots are natural and exude elegance. He was always able to capture the smallest of details and magnify them in his photographs. Everything in fashion can be captured by his lens. What he likes is a more harmonious street.
He has documented the changes in the way people dress on the streets of New York and Paris with his own ideas, but he always believes that money is the cheapest thing and freedom cannot be bought. That's why he is obsessed with photographing ordinary people's outfits.
What Bill helped me with was to capture what I really wanted to shoot with. Instead of shooting with a purpose. I really like his sense of spontaneity and freedom. That's what makes him such a great photographer. But his mystery has taught me that the freedom of taking photos can create more surprises and unexpected gains.
What I learned
Commenting on other's video
Jacob Riis does a great job of explaining and articulating what she feels, and she does a great job of expressing the emotions and thoughts that the pictures may bring to you through her own understanding. I think the presentation contains all the information. I see in the photographer's work the desperation of some of the people who need urgent help, and the way he captures it gives you an instant sense of empathy and sadness. I think knowing the story behind his work gave me a deeper understanding of photography and the positive impact it can have. I probably tend to reflect real life and the state of my surroundings to encourage people to move towards a better future.
