Bruno Barbey - Beggar and ChildrenNaples, Italy
- 1960

• Look at the beggar. How are the children
  reacting? How do you know this?

3
Bruno Barbey - Soccer Fans Italy 1960

• Look at every individual face in the
  picture. What do you think was happening at that
  moment?

Alexey Bakman Brighton Beach Fire, 2003

• This photo and the next one are of the same fire
  in Brighton Beach. The photos are made by the
  same photographer. Do you prefer the color photo
  or the black and white one? Why?

Alfred Eisenstaedt - Agricultural Fair, 1969

• Crowd pleasing events such as this horse-drawing
  contest makes a great photograph with whips
  flashing and muscles bulging. It is sometimes
  difficult to get just the right angle with some
  much going on. Compare this one with the one
  Eisie took in color in 1984 on the next slide.

7
Alfred Eisenstaedt - Agricultural Fair, 1984

• This picture is from a different angle and
  obviously it is in color. Which angle do you
  prefer and why? Do you like the black and white
  or the color better? Why?

Alfred Eisenstaedt Harbor on a Foggy Morning ,
1967

• Dont think that it always has to be a beautiful
  sunny day in order to get great pictures.

Alfred Eisenstaedt Hurricane Carol 1954

• The light and color are often fantastic after a
  storm. The destruction that can be caused by
  Mother Nature always makes for good picture
  making. The two figures in the far right are
  necessary to show how big the pile of boats is.

10
Alfred Eisenstaedt - Luxembourg Gardens, Paris

• Playgrounds are among the best spots for getting
  good candid pictures of children. While they are
  preoccupied with games they are less likely to be
  aware of being photographed.

11
Rick Smolan A Dance To Summer

• These students are completely oblivious that the
  photographer was taking their picture during this
  lunch hour whirl at Nano Nagle School in Cork,
  Ireland.

Gary Matoso Morning Bus to Monaghan Collegiate
School

• Dont overlook the obvious. The ordinary can
  sometimes be extraordinary.

13
Alfred Eisenstaedt Seal Sunning, 1966

• Waiting patiently for the perfect pose is hard to
  do. Eventually this seal cooperated.

14
Alfred Eisenstaedt Captain Thomas Tilton - 1971

• It can be a challenge to capture the personality
  of your subject when youre taking portraits.
• Taking a lot of pictures and chatting with your
  subject eventually relaxes them and they begin to
  let their true selves emerge.
• Knowing your subject gives you an even better
  chance at making a great picture.

15
Brian Lanker Bridget Harty, County Limerick,
Ireland

• Bridgets personality really shines through! Can
  you identify some elements in the photo that show
  her personality?

16
Alfred Eisenstaedt Paris, France

• You can not force a good picture to happen. It
  took longer than one hour for the two pedestrians
  to happen along going in two different directions
  which complements the composition of the two
  staircases, also going in two different
  directions.

17
Alfred Eisenstaedt - Sunset at Menemsha, 1967

• Every sunset is different. The light, the
  colors, the clouds all the elements coming
  together day after day in a new and unique way.

18
Mary Ellen Mark - Blind Orphan India, 1980

• Mary Ellen Mark says I can tell you
  exactly how this photograph happened. Again, it
  is knowing the people that youre photographing.
  I knew that little girl well, and I also knew her
  parents, who were there to adopt her. I spent a
  lot of time photographing them. So when that
  happened, when she touched her adopted mothers
  hand, I was luckily in the right place to take
  that photograph. She walked over to her mother,
  she leaned against her legs, then she touched her
  hands, it just happened.

19
Mary Ellen Mark - High School Prom Florida,
1986

• What about the moment shown here makes it
  the right moment to take the picture?

20
Silvia Plachy Gull Bite, 1982

• How do you think the photographer made this
  picture happen?

21
Sylvia Plachy Mishi and Grandpa - 1980

• Exactly where was the photographer when she
  took this picture? Why is it important?

22
Eugene Richards Grandmother, Brooklyn

• How does water add energy to this photo?

23
Silvia Plachy - Hydrant

• How does the water add energy to this one?

24
Brian Lanker Laundry Drying County Clare,
Ireland

• It doesnt get any more ordinary or
  extraordinary than this.

25
David Turnley Michael and Stephen Curtin County
Clare, Ireland

• Quiet moments between people are best shot with a
  telephoto lens from a little farther away
  breaking the rule to GET IN CLOSE.
