Robert Frank Robert Frank first started out photographing fashion for high end magazines. He grew tired of the lack of creativity and decided to take a break from that world and work on his own. Frank wanted to capture something more than just a single person posing, he wanted something with meaning. In 1955 and 1956 he traveled around America to capture his own style of photography. This is when he created his most famous book, The Americas . This book caused a lot of commotion when it was first published. It was unlike any other at the time for its realistic story telling photographs. Each photograph told a story, instead of having it planned out and posed, Frank capture the real hard truth of America at that time. His use of black and white film helped to capture the mood and feeling he wanted to portray. In the book I took out from the library called “Story Lines” is a collection of images he photographed in Paris, Peru, London, Wales, Coney Island, and Chicago from 1948-2004....
For my final project, I will be photographing leaves. I am interesting in photographing it because I love fall and am interested in all of the textures and the composition of leaves. I will continue to work with this concept for multiple weeks by going to different places and photographing different types of leaves. I will photograph predominately close up, monotone images but will include some color images. At the end of this project, I hope to have a portfolio of close up images that I am proud of and a platform to show off my photography.
