David Doubilet was born November 28, 1946 in New York City. At a young age Doubilet developed an interest in underwater life and photography, at the age of twelve Doubilet took his first underwater photograph with a Brownie Hawkeye camera. As a young adult Doubilet attended the Boston University, where he studied photography. Not long after that he began to shoot professional photographs for famous articles, magazines, books, and other publications. His specialty is underwater photography, he shoots not only fish and other natural underwater life, but shipwrecks and other underwater disasters too. His specialty within the realm of underwater photography is photographs half in water half out of water. David Doubilet biggest contribution to photography is the technique of taking photographs half in water half out of water, he helped pioneer the technology needed for it. For underwater photography photographers need a lot more equipment than most photographers. For Doubilets underwater photography adventures he needs: a camera, housing for the camera, lenses, lighting, mask, snorkel, fins, regulator, suits, boots, gloves, buoyancy …show more content…
compensator, and a watch. Doubilet personally uses Nikon cameras because since the beginning that is what he chose to use and prefers not to chase the newest camera out. The camera, housing for the camera, lenses, and light help Doubilet make a beautiful photograph possible. While the mask, snorkel, fins, regulator, suits, boots, gloves, and buoyancy compensator help Doubilet survive underwater and not drown. This is a photograph by David Doubilet that he took in 2011 of Gentoo penguins in the Antarctic Peninsula.
This is a good photograph because it shows the penguins in their natural habitat. The photograph is very clear, the mountains in the back and the divide between underwater and above water, up close, is focused. I selected this photograph because I love penguins and I thought the colors of the photographs were alluring. The difference between the colors caught my attention because of the dark corners of the the ocean and clouds that add an illusion of mystery and because of the bright center of the ocean and iceberg with the penguins above it. Overall the photograph made me question what is in the deep, dark parts of the ocean and made me more aware of our abundant knowledge of what is above because of natural
lighting. “This is another moment in time” David Doubilet said about his photograph of two loggerhead turtles mating. This was such a magical photograph because it is such a rare photograph to be able to capture. Soon after taking that photograph another turtle came and joined the couple and placed himself on top of the couple. Peter Benchley, the author of Jaws, said about David Doubilets photography that “he is the finest, most complete underwater still photographer (he doesn't shoot movies) of our time.” Most of David Doubilets works has been published through the National Geographic Magazine, where he has published over 70 articles starting in 1971. Since 1976 Doubilet has been a contract photographer for the National Geographis magazine. Doubilets works has also been published in over seven books. Because of his amazing photographs, Doubilet has also won awards such as Explorer’s Club Lowell Thomas Award and the Lennart Nilsson Award. David Doubilets work is important to the history of photographic art because he has helped transform underwater photography. He made it possible for photographers to be able to take photographs half underwater, this connects the land and water life together in one photograph.

She starts by bringing a pessimistic view to photographs of nature, by describing what may or may not lie just outside the boundaries of the picture. Mockingly she leads the reader to assume that there are no real nature photos left in the world, but rather only digitaly enhanced photos of nature wit...
In Blackfish, Director, Gabriela Cowperthwaite, addresses the accidents that occurred at SeaWorld involving trainers and whales. Cowperthwaite’s purpose is to educate the audience on the cruel treatment and rough conditions of whales that occur in SeaWorld. The film maintains a shocking tone in order to persuade the audience and appeal to feelings of sadness and anger.
John Fielder takes amazing shots and I love how he takes it of nature because I love to explore the outdoors and discover new places. One of my favorite photos by him is Ice lake James Peak Wilderness near winter park. I really love the colors in this photo they look really amazing and the photo. It captures the sunrise makes it look like a breath taking view. The photo really follows the one thirds rule. It draws a person attention to the middle of the picture, right where the sunrise is. Overall I really like John fielders photos and the works that he does.
Having such an image before our eyes, often we fail to recognize the message it is trying to display from a certain point of view. Through Clark’s statement, it is evident that a photograph holds a graphic message, which mirrors the representation of our way of thinking with the world sights, which therefore engages other
I think the reason so many people wanted to own this image is due to the fact that it is a mix of nature and the beauty that we would all like to remember each and every day. Living the fast-paced lives of work and family, humans do not get to experience this beauty of nature often enough. Peter Lik uses contextual art in most of his photographs in order to capture the natural Earth that most people are not lucky enough to see in person.
“Deep Sea Drifters II” didn’t stand out because it wasn’t a photograph but because the style of art seemed like something like a nine-year-old’s crayon work. Of course, when I looked closer, the piece...
Throughout this essay we have had a chance to look at the two major types of underwater diving. We have a better understanding of the differences in the equipment used, the locations that each may be performed, and the career opportunities available to a person with the proper credentials.
Photography is a part of almost everyone's everyday life whether it is through a smartphone, laptop, or professional camera. Before the late 1800s, though, even a simple picture was not possible. Although many people worked hard and put their ideas and inventions of new cameras in the world, Louis Daguerre is among one of the most important. Michael Hart, in his book, The 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History, ranks Daguerre as the 47th most influential person in the world. This ranking is appropriate because of the many ways his invention influenced today's world. His technique was practical and widely used in the 1800s. Although his methods are different
Hiroshi Sugimoto is a Japanese photographer born in Tokyo in 1948. Upon graduating from Saint Paul’s University in Tokyo with a degree in Sociology and Politics and moved to Los Angeles in 1970 and attended the Art Centre College of Design. He moved to New York in 1974 after receiving his Bachelors degree and now lives in Tokyo and in New York. He divides his work into photographic series, each representing a certain theme. He is most famous for his seascapes, movie theaters, natural history dioramas and portraits, and waxworks series. He explores the idea of photography and time, and uses photography as a way to record science and history alongside the idea of indescribable human nature. His aim when creating portraits is to make them as lifelike as possible so the viewer reconsiders what it is to be alive.
Juliet Margaret Cameron was a pioneer Victorian photographer during the nineteenth century. She took up photography later in life at the age of forty-eight when her daughter presented her with a camera. This simple gift sparked enthusiasm in Cameron and led her to become one of the most colorful personalities in photography. Cameron was born in Calcutta in 1815 to a well-to-do British Family. After being educated in Europe, she returned to the Cape of Good Hope in 1836.
Gary Winogrand’s photography career began when a friend introduced him to it in 1948 while taking painting classes at Columbia University. After Winogrand’s first exposure to the darkroom, he abandoned painting and “never looked back.” Winogrand became extremely emerged in photography and felt that nothing else in life mattered. He dropped out of college to pursue his passion. Earning an average of ninety cents per week, he had a difficult yet determined beginning. Winogrand did not concern himself with issues that were affecting society and therefore did not always appeal to the mass public. Winogrand’s long and successfully debatable career experienced many turns and obstacle that ultimately led him to become one of the most noted photographers of the late twentieth century.
Thanks to evolution, Penguins have evolved into a group of aquatic, fightless birds, that are highly adapted to life in the ocean. This not only makes them one of the divergent and strange species of birds, but also has allowed them to become such a sucessful species. Penguins are mostly located in the Southern hemisphere ranging anywhere from the Galapogos to the Antartic. Throughout their lives, Penguins spend around half their time in the ocean doing things such as catching food and the other half on land raising their young. Their distinct tuxedo-like apperience called countershading camoflages their bodies, protecting them from predators above and below. Through out the “stepping stones”, the penguins grew to have a dense bone containing
Movies such as Mary Poppins, Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town, Happy Feet, Surf’s Up, and Madagascar have portrayed penguins as lovable, comical creatures with intelligent minds and adorable faces. Simply put: humans have idealized the penguin. Indeed, it is a well-known fact that most species of penguin form loyal monogamous bonds, also known as mating for life. However, there are other penguin facts which are largely unknown. For example, few individuals know that penguins have a body temperature between “100 and 102 degrees” Fahrenheit (Lynch, 1997, p. 35). When we remember that humans have a...
