Lecture Four - Week 10

Lecture -

Photography as a document
The power of images as a tool.
TPPA - Inside and out - analysing the different perspectives and places around the same topic but the difference between the angles and the framing of the images.

Dorothea Lange - Photography controversial, there is a mention of equality in Dorothea's statement but there wasn't any equally. Dorothea had stories and statements around the photograph which were incorrect about the imagery, the photo was said it wasn't going to be published. The photographer often promises which doesn't go through. When critiquing documentary photographs the truth behind them may be what the photographer has said but it may not be true.

This lecture doesn't specifically link to my decided topic. Small parts to but overall it isn't what I intend to write of.

Tutorial - 

James Nachtwey - War Photographer (POV Sentence) - EDIT from the original video.

Amazing video surrounding the photography taken in a war.
- > a voice over is the caption and the context.
With this video viewing you feel as though at first you're not allowed to be there, you take up film theory with the ideas that by experiencing the film that you are not allowed to see this. It is not until the voice that you understand and become more comfortable in this situation as you become more removed and instead question what is actually happening in this scenario.
Where is the respect coming from what is the respect - is this invasive? How are you shown the reactions of the people. How do you know?

When researching use words like critical critique etc.
