William Klein
“I photograph what i see in front of me, I move in close to see better and use a wide-angle lens to get as much as possible in the frame."
Throughout Klein's career he had experimented with different focal lengths, which he is most known for his up-and-close, with his personal work with a wide-angle lens. What I loved about William Klein's work is that he takes pictures that when you look at it you imagine that your really there, even thinking about the scene and what would be going on in the background would be in your thought just by viewing the image. And not just that he is able to include different tons of content into one frame, meaning that when you look at the image you will see multiple subject than just one single thing.

First Set Of Images
For our first lesson our task was to go outside and take a set of images of what you think photography really is, so we all went out in groups, it was; Chantay, Gabriela and myself. We all decided that a part of photography is mostly about capturing your moments and sharing your memories to others. So we went out and said what type of pictures should we take, so myself and Chantay we ran across the walk way and the corridors and jumped as high as possible and Gabriela took the pictures. But the pictures didn't turn out the way we wanted it to and that was; the images wasn't in focus and they wasn't clear. What we could do next time to improve our work, we could set the camera to auto focus so that we don't have to do anything than setting the camera to its right position, we could maybe go outside to the green area this is because it could add more colour to the image and maybe even more people to the picture.
Second Set Of Images
For our second lesson we as a group; Chantay, Gabriela and myself we decided to take pictures of the community instead so it would show what a beautiful place it really is and allowing them to see other people than just viewing the same faces all the time. Well we went out to the fields and took pictures of natural things for example; trees, the grass and while we was walking on the grass we saw a shoe which we thought this could be an image out of the blue. Then the people that was around us we saw that they were wearing a top that had really lovely designs so we combined them together and created an image.
An Imaginary Exhibition
For my imaginary exhibition at first I didn't really have an idea on what the exhibition was mean't to be about? How it's mean't to look? What type of photographers to research on? But then I got an idea that I wanted to create an exhibition didn't have no meaning to it or rephrasing it by saying I didn't want the images to link to each other in some sorts, and I done that by researching every photographer and viewing each of their images and by bring them together I was able to pick out from a few.
An Exhibition In Class
For my imaginary exhibition in class I had printed them out with labels of the photographers name on it, this is because when people go out to a museum or to a gallery they would like to know the artists name or who created it so with that idea I printed them out the same size and started placing them in different orders. At first I was confused on how to place the images, if I wanted to place them onto the wall or onto the floor, so by asking other class mates I was able to figure out different ways and where too place them on to the pin board. I had chose the pin board this is because we all thought that if he had placed them on the floor it would be kinda disrespectful this is because, we all set of dirty and other disgusting things by by placing the photographs on the floor is would kinda mean we don't respect their work.
