Printing Composition - Campaigns

I went down to the elementary and couldn't have been given a better opportunity for a picture. This woman has voluntarily decided to help these two children learn their abc's. The little boy in the picture was so excited to learn his abc's he did it all by himself.

This photo was also taken when I went to visit the elementary kids, I really like the idea of this one, each kid was given a piece of the puzzle and they worked together to create the finished product which is what I was able to en capture.

This was my favorite idea personally. I chose something that didn't involve school or a classroom. It was something that every kid learns and is helped by their parents. I think that the composition could have been better but i still like the concept of this photo. Different and hopefully catches peoples attention.

Abbie Trayler-Smith

Abbie Trayler-Smith was born and raised in South Wales in 1977. Her interest in photography began while she was at school for law at kings college in london. She was a self- taught photographer who began with shooting people for the school newspaper. After graduating in 1998 she began working at the Daily Telegraph and then was signed with a full contract in 2001. Nine years into her career she had worked photographing war ridden countries and countries that had faced disasters. In 2006 she resigned from the Daily Telegraph to work on a wider variety of projects.

This photo is from one of Abbie's projects- Mali. All of her photos are like this, they are set in underdeveloped areas or places that have faced a tragedy. This one seemed a little different than the others and that is why I chose this one out of her many different exhibitions.

This photo is for a clothing spring- summer clothing campaign. I chose this photo because it is nothing like any of the other ad photos. Although it does follow the same "guidelines" to be an ad. Most ads have something that is completely out of the ordinary, there is something in the photo that catches the viewers attention. This photo caught my attention just because of the way that the woman in it is posing. It is clearly not a regular pose and does not have anything flashy so the pose is what makes the photo work.

Many nike ads are advertising shoes. This photo advertises more than that, the clothing, the game, and the player. Sports use different techniques than clothing companies. They use the athletes and get them at their best to sell their product. The catch the player in one of the most intense times of their game and they add quotes and their slogans. Those slogans catch on and that is how these ads get successful.

This ad is a campaign for shoes. At a first glance that is not what someone would think. And again in the clothing business there has to be something to catch the viewers attention and the fact that the girl is wrapped in nothing but vines really makes someone take a second look and then realize that it is for shoes.
