Photography can be used in many different ways, and your presentation opened my eyes to the idea that a photographer can use their influence to uplift other photographers. The photos I chose for my assignment were also primarly shot in black and white and focused on disadvantaged communities but an interesting difference is that your photographer framed the people as resiliant while bringing attention to issues, whereas my photographer focused on preserving a cultures way of life."

That made it easier for me to understand and appreciate…

I enjoyed your presentation! I don't think there's anything that could or should have changed. In addition to your descriptions of the photos, providing the composition, color, and lighting helped me better grasp what the photos were trying to convey. Lorenzetti's works' make evoke my sense of curiosity and amazement, especially with the first plant/flower photo and the waterfall. Though they are in black and white, it doesn't take away from the detail, and the waterfall specifically makes me want to experience it the landscape with my own eyes. The photograph with the casino sign, porta-potty, and and church was quite puzzling to me at first, but the more I looked at it, and you providing descriptions, it made m…
