Candy Cigarette is a photograph by Sally Mann in a gelatin silver print medium, that was shot in 1989. Candy Cigarette depicts three children, two girls in the foreground and a boy on stilts in the background. Only the middle figure, Jessie Mann, is facing the camera with a blank expressionless face, while the other two are onlooking the path ahead of them. The centre model, Jessie Mann, is slouched away from the path behind her while nonchalantly balancing a cigarette in her left hand.
Mann has created this work outside by using pure natural lighting in a landscape orientation at an eye-level angle. She has photographed this image as if it was completely impromptu. It may not be obvious but she created this captured moment by using her children as posing models when she took the image by a large format 8x10 viewing camera, which implies it was staged to some extent. Mann also manipulates which aspect the audience is directed to first, by using a wide aperture, such as f/2.8 which results in a shallow depth of field. She presents this image in black

As it is a film camera it has far superior value than any digital camera as it allows extraordinary details to be recorded. Ocean Keepers depicts two of The Twelve Apostles, as the main focus, jutting out into the ocean on Gibson’s beach just before sunset. Gray has created this artwork using contemporary equipment and techniques to make it visually pleasing for today’s audience. This image has been photographed at eye-level angle, as Gray found it in his surroundings, outside in the powerful and dramatic natural lighting from the setting sun. There are numerous techniques that Gray has used in his artwork, some of which include an extensive range of design elements and principles, the golden hours, a large depth of field, blurred motion, and the rule of
Holden smokes a lot when he is nervous, or bored. When the stripper is in his room he noticed that she is shaking her foot as if she is nervous. He offers her a cigarette, twice. Both times she says no. Holden offers Sunny the cigarette because he thinks it would calm her down, like cigarettes calm him down when he is nervous. “I sat in the chair for a while and smoked a couple of cigarettes…boy, I felt miserable” (98). The smoking habit may have come from his mother. Holden says his mother smokes a ton when she is nervous (158). Holden does this when he is nervous too. The additive nicotine calms a person’s nerves when they smoke. He continues to smoke when he is nervous, and if one cigarette doesn’t do it, he’ll smoke another making him an avid chain smoker. He smoked two packs in the first few d...
Of course we cannot stop there, but it is a good place to start. The advertisement starts off with how a soon to be couple (spoiler) met. As predicted, Sarah drops her books and Juan helps here. However, after this moment, the advertisement takes a new turn. Sarah offers the guy a piece of Extra Gum. Now, why is that important? This is important because Sarah uses that piece of gum as a gateway to get past the initial social awkwardness when you first meet someone. At this stage, it portrays Extra as a way to swiftly bypass the awkwardness and go directly for social interaction. (i.e. Talking)

No other artist has ever made as extended or complex career of presenting herself to the camera as has Cindy Sherman. Yet, while all of her photographs are taken of Cindy Sherman, it is impossible to class call her works self-portraits. She has transformed and staged herself into as unnamed actresses in undefined B movies, make-believe television characters, pretend porn stars, undifferentiated young women in ambivalent emotional states, fashion mannequins, monsters form fairly tales and those which she has created, bodies with deformities, and numbers of grotesqueries. Her work as been praised and embraced by both feminist political groups and apolitical mainstream art. Essentially, Sherman’s photography is part of the culture and investigation of sexual and racial identity within the visual arts since the 1970’s. It has been said that, “The bulk of her work…has been constructed as a theater of femininity as it is formed and informed by mass culture…(her) pictures insist on the aporia of feminine identity tout court, represented in her pictures as a potentially limitless range of masquerades, roles, projections” (Sobieszek 229).
Julia Margaret created some of the most intimate and powerful portraits produced in any medium. Ambitious from the start, she considered herself an artist who made photographs rather than a photographer. Cameron was more interested in capturing the essence of the subject than mastering perfect camera technique. Her photographs are notable for the extreme intimacy and psychological intensity of effect achieved by the use of close up perspective, suppression of detail (sometimes accompanied by peripheral blurring) large scale, and dramatic lighting. In her photographs, Cameron tried to achieve an effect called “plasticity” which created an expression of feeling rather than fact.

Many scenes in the movie show alcohol being shared during family mealtimes, cigarettes being smoked, and even the job choices in some of her mentors. According to Nutt (2012), “There’s a lot of evidence that the more common and acceptable consuming alcohol is seen to be, the more people will drink, and this cultural context is especially influential on young people” (p.122). Drinking alcohol was a normalized practice in the Freehand household, not only during meal times, but for recreational purposes as well. It’s casual use seems to encourage intoxication, as there initially are no repercussions for drinking. Moreover, tobacco’s accessibility in the movie is also concerning. Nutt (2012) also states, “… it is freely available and each hit is relatively cheap, we don’t see “tobacco fiends” committing crimes to feed their habit, and because its intoxication effect is very mild it rarely disrupts people’s ability to continue with normal life” (p.156). Tracy sees no wrong in smoking cigarettes, she even takes her mother’s pack to have her very first smoke. Eventually, Tracy and Evie even begin to smoke the same brand as Mel does. Furthermore, Evie’s cousin whom they idolize, works as a bartender and smokes cigarettes too. This is just another example of how alcohol and tobacco’s presence was normalized. As young impressionable children, these common substances

However, every day there are kids, not old enough to drive, take a puff from their first cigarette and become unaware of toxins that are consuming their bodies. For young smokers, they want to fit in with their peers and it gives them a false sense of autonomy. They are fascinated by smoking and think it looks cool. Each day, an estimated 2,100 youth and young adults who have been occasional smokers become daily cigarette smokers(CDC). Smoking sneaks up on them, every day you smoke more than before; that’s because of nicotine. Nicotine is a highly addictive substance. It ends up burying itself in the consumer’s body and mentally the sensation gets you addicted. While some people might argue, smoking helps to cope with depression and stress; it kills you overtime. Physical withdrawal. On average smoking cigarettes, takes 10 years from your life away. Walt Disney, George Harrison and Steve McQueen all died from lung cancer. The ad displays a man loading up the revolver with cigarettes, it conveys a message that with every cigarette you are essentially killing yourself, similarly to a game of Russian roulette, you play till you
