Jyoujo "sakura"

2014

I choose this image of "sakura" by Jyoujo in 2014. jyoujo is from Japan and cherry blossom is japan national flower. Jyoujo photography is

given priority to with the Japanese cherry blossom, mostly image is exquisite and tranquil, beautiful picture. In addition to the Japanese cherry

blossom, Jyoujo photographer also tried to shoot animals and natural scenery. During the season of cherry blossoms in full bloom, Jyoujo's cherry

blossom photography, perspective, composition, light sensors can give us some enlightenment. the foregroud is more clearly and background is

veage,it is like to assignment 2. The cherry blossom is equivalent to everybody could be understand and watch. So I choose the cherry blossom as

the theme of this assignment.

ABOUT

This blog was inspired by the 1 Image 1 Minute written column in X-TRA and subsequent live iterations of the project by Micol Hebron. The inspiration for the 1 Image 1 Minute column was a similar project produced by Belgian director Agnès Varda (and later written about by Rosalind Krauss) for French television in 1983.

For this blog (and their assignment), students in Niku Kashef's photography classes are asked to select a photograph (that they did not make) that inspires or intrigues them in some way and to speak about it for exactly 1 minute (roughly 150 written words). Students post their name, the artists' name, title of the photograph, year the photograph was made and the medium along with their ~150 words.

In the second part of the assignment, students are asked to either use the image they chose to speak to OR a new image and make an inspiration image based on the photographic/2d design aspects of that image (eg direction/type of light, perspective, depth of field, focus, color palate, etc).
