Discuss and analyse two photographic images using a general visual cultural studies approach. ‘To interpret images is to examine the assumptions that we and others bring to them, and to decode the visual language that they speak’ (Sturken and Cartwright, 2001) For this essay I intend to adopt a general visual cultural studies approach to analyse two photographs. They are the ‘Migrant Mother’ by Dorothea Lange (1895-1965) and ‘Madonna with Children’ by Julia Margaret Cameron (1815-79). At first glance the two images share similarities in the fact that they have both been taken by female photographers, are both portraits and also display parallel elements of composition. Throughout this essay I will be discussing the different methodologies that are concerned within this approach and I aim to reveal the very different ideologies that these images uphold within our society.

Discuss research into the effect of misleading information on Eye-Witness Testimony (EWT) Research into the effect of misleading questions on EWT was carried out by Loftus & Palmer. Their aim was to see how information supplied after an event could influence a witness’s memory for that event. In the 2nd experiment, experiment 2, the aim of the experiment was to provide additional insights into the origin of the different estimates of speed by the PP’s. Particularly, they wanted to find out if their verbal labelling had distorted the PP’s memories. Two lab studies both using independent measures design were carried out.
II. Although it can be expected that with the constant discovery of cutting-edge technology, advertising is bound to utilize these latest technologies in order to create a ‘perfect’ image to sell a product. However, the deadly combination of advertising and Photoshopping (digital enhancement), can lead to serious consequences in the impressionable young, as well as promote messages of racial injustice and disrespect. III. My interest in the ethics of digital manipulation began in high school when I was enrolled in a Computer Graphics class that primarily focused on the application of Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator; realized the extent of how easy and cheap it was to digitally alter a photo IV.
Subjective photography movements respond to pictures taken in the Nazi era, and by providing models and describes the effects of their Alienation from Nazi ideology, and go to subjective photography toward modern art movements, that we could recognize as trends of surrealistic, testing, abstraction and metaphor. Which Had become the common points between the subjective photography and contemporary abstraction, subjectivity, and surreal clearer. The images that subjective Photography created retains characteristics photographic terms of a recording of visual reality at a given moment, any amendments visual that was added to the image was linked to what is available, which was accessible from the techniques of Photography, benefited from photography equipments and its process, a chemistry photograph work which bringing about the effects of amazing Pictures. The research problem is in the study of changes brought by the photographic movement in Germany in the form of self-image photographs, analyzing Vocabulary of those pictures, and study how to be addressed in these items, in the study of the most important pioneers of this movement, And the impact of their photographic vision of modern and contemporary art. Researchers used a descriptive approach to describe and document the vocabulary design of a photographic movement, and the most important outcomes of that movement that led to the development of concepts of artistic photographic vision in Germany, by showcasing subjective photography pioneers, like Herbert Bert Lee, Marta Heopffner , Carl struwe, Adolf Lazi ,Hermann Claasen, Chargesheimer, Helmut Lederer, Heinz Hajek Halke.
Do they not still see? Can they not see better? Perhaps the machine sees more than the human eye. After all, the Esper device unlocks the mysteries of a photograph, "seeing" behind corners not visible to Deckard's human eye. The Voigt-Kampff machine measures the eye's response to emotion, becoming the proverbial "window to the soul" of a human subject or exposing a replicant's artificial eye.
Visual literacy is the images that we see with our eyes, when a person first looks as something their eyes send it to the retina and then to the brain to process as Kennedy described in his video. Kennedy also shows the process by hand jester in the video. Whereas the text book shows us with pictures of the same process that Kennedy tells us about, pictures make a big difference in understand how the process actually works. . Kennedy then goes on to say that visual literacy is the ability to construct meaning from images.
In this experiment the infrared photogates were used to measure the motion of a falling object, and this data was recorded by the Data Studio software. Procedures: Setting up the Data Studio software and the infrared photo gates: 1. Science Workshop 750 Interface was turned on 2. The Data Studio software was started by finding and clicking on the Data Studio icon on the desktop of the computer 3. "Create Experiment" option was chosen 4.
