    This paper has been far more difficult to research than I thought it would be. Unfortunately, photographers are not always given the full credit they desrve for their work and therefore, it is impossible to find the names of the artists of some of my favorite photographs. Instead, I decided to just look up popular photographers in the fashion industry in hopes of having easier access to information. Despite the fact that I now had the names of some of the most world famous fashion photographers, finding information on them is a whole other story in and of itself. As I am beginning to realize, the saying among the photography department is true- if you are not Annie Leibovitz, you will not be known until you are dead. For example, one of my favorite photographers is Diane Arbus. She had compiled vast amounts of work throughout her career. Unfortunately, all of her works were found in a locker after her suicide and then she was seen as an artist. To summarize what I am saying is that the only famous photographers are dead ones and all the successful ones are barely known. So in order for this research paper to even have the possibility of making it it to four pages, I am going to have to choose the cliché (yet greatly talented) photographer, Annie Leibovitz.…

    His mother is filmed showing the film crew pictures of Darren during his childhood. The pictures are then displayed on screen in a presentation style as Darren’s mother talks about funny stories of him. By having the archival footage they give insight into how innocent and lovely some of these teens lives were and that anyone could be in the position they are in now after making a few bad choices. The graphics in The OASIS also play a big part in introducing new characters and building relationships between them. If a different person is presented in the documentary then their name appears in unobtrusive white writing.…

    "in France 1963. His works include being a commercial director and music video director. Known to create artistic works that are anything but mediocre, his groundbreaking films and music video have maintain a solid spot in the minds of most viewers. The charm of Gondry’s works were achieved from his quirky technique of choreographs and camera effects. Most viewers are drawn by Gondry’s surrealistic styles and visual illusion in telling a story. Tom Guning in his book ‘cinema of attractions’ describe ‘a conception that sees cinema less as a way of telling stories than as a way of presenting a series of views to an audience, fascinating because of their illusory power’. (Gunning, 1990. p.560). "…

    Eddie Colla is a Californian street artist that can resemble really well known Banksy 's work, here is how he defines his own work; “Some people view what I do as vandalism. I assume that their objection is that I alter the landscape without permission. Advertising perpetually alters our environment without the permission of its inhabitants. The only difference is that advertisers pay for the privilege to do so and I don’t. So if you’re going to call me anything, it is more accurate to call me a thief.” the aim of his work is really similar to Banksy 's as well, trying to fight capitalism and social issues in general.…

    Who is Banksy? That is what everybody has been asking each other for the last couple of years. Although he is quite famous nobody knows much about him. All we know is his real name might be Robert Banks or Robin Gunningham and he was born in Bristol. Some sources say the well known but anonymous graffiti artist was expelled from school and some says he left school at 16 .Some even say he was trained to be a butcher but they are all rumours. What makes him really unique is as Brad Pitt says "He does all this and he stays anonymous. I think that's great. These days everyone is trying to be famous. But he has anonymity”…

Banksy is taking the best of a bad situation, instead of looking at the broken sign as…
