    Shot over a period of 18 months, Italian photographer Gabriele Galimberti's project Toy Stories compiles photos of children from around the world with their prized possesions-their toys. Galimberti explores the universality of being a kid amidst the diversity of the countless corners of the world; saying, "at their age, they are pretty all much the same; they just want to play."

  • Photographs have tremendous power to communicate information. But they also have tremendous power to communicate misinformation, especially if we’re not careful how we read them. Reading photographs presents a unique set of challenges. Students can learn to use questions to decode, evaluate, and respond to photographic images.
  • What happened just before this moment, or just after it?
  • The photograph of a crowd of jubilant Iraqis toppling the statue of Saddam Hussein in Baghdad on April 9, 2003, is one of the most common images of the recent war in Iraq. A closeup shot shows a crowd of primarily Iraqis toppling the statue. A wide shot of the same scene would have revealed that the crowd in the square was made up of primarily US forces and journalists.

  • One type of photography in which setting is very important is travel photography.
  • Using landmarks, monuments, or famous natural elements in a photograph is a core technique for evoking a sense of place.
  • The photographer selects the focal point not only by focusing the camera but also through other techniques.
  • shutter speed to bring only one element into focus immediately elevates that to the most important part of the image.
  • one element in the photograph is strongly backlit, it may seem to glow and thus draw the viewer’s attention.
  • What is the photographer’s thought process as she composes, frames, shoots and selects an image? Listen as photographer Lisa Maizlish narrates the decisions she made in photographing the students featured on the PBS reality show American High.
  • viewers have to decide how to interpret a photograph’s context
  • information about the people, events, setting, and so on are made explicit by the photographer — there are distinct visual clues that tell us who the people are, what they are doing, and where and when the photograph was taken.
  • implicit — implied but not clearly communicated by the photographer, or left to be inferred by the viewer.
  • identities of the people
  • unclear
  • their purpose may be unknown
  • time and place may be difficult or impossible to discern.
  • simple "W" questions can be open to debate.
  • Viewers may not even realize that they are making those assumptions
  • Just as successful written communication requires that the writer and reader speak the same language, successful visual communication requires that the photographer and viewer share a common "visual language" of signs, clues, and assumptions.
  • Were your assumptions correct? Can you always trust your first instinct? (And even having read the caption, how much do we really know about these girls and their lives?)
  • a different culture might ask why this round brown object is
  • we have to be careful that we have enough cultural background in common with the photographer to correctly interpret what we see.
  • The photograph by itself tells us very little about what’s going on; we probably could have invented any number of captions, and you’d have believed us!

    Great resource for all manner of things related to Film. From camera angles and shots to plans for running film clubs, this is a site worth diving into.
