Understanding Framing

Understanding Framing

Garry Winogrand was one of the great American street photographers. Roaming the city streets with his small Leica camera always at the ready, he captured telling fragments of the life around him. Composed in a split second, Winogrand’s photographs used the picture frame to isolate slices of daily reality. Within the rectangular picture frame, he balanced geometric shapes and drew dynamic lines toward significant points in the picture that piqued the viewer’s curiosity and imagination. In this Discussion, you analyze the framing elements of a Winogrand photograph.

To prepare for this Discussion:

  • Read Chapter 1 in your course text, Photographer’s Eye
  • Review the Garry Winogrand photograph, Untitled, 1950s.
  • Review photographs from all the websites listed in this week’s Learning Resources.
  • Consider the type of frame used by Winogrand and how the framing draws the viewer into the picture and sets the stage for the telling of a story.
  • Consider the orientation of the Winogrand photograph, Untitled, 1950s:
    • What considerations might Winogrand have taken when filling the frame?
    • How did Winogrand divide the frame?
    • Where is the subject of the photograph in relation to the space surrounding that subject?

With these thoughts in mind:

By Day 3

Post a response that describes at least three elements of framing used by Winogrand in his photograph, Untitled, 1950s. Evaluate the decisions Winogrand made about what to include in the frame and what to exclude from it. Analyze how those decisions impact Winogrand’s meaning. Evaluate the extent to which Winogrand’s photograph may be described as loosely framed. Describe how Winogrand uses the edges of the frame. (Approximately 500 words).

PLEASE USE THE TEXTBOOK WHEN ANSWERING THE QUESTION. PLEASE REFER TO THE WINOGRAND SITE SPECIFICALLY TO THE FIRST PICTURE ENTITLED “Untitled, 1950s”.

  • Chapter 1, “Framing” (pp. 8–29)

    This chapter of the course text sets up one of the more fundamental elements of photography by explaining how framing is more than simple composition. The author explains that sometimes what is left out of a photograph can be just as important as what is included.

The following blogs from Damon Guy explain how to make note of elements in photography that offer constructive assessments.

Based on the Michael Porter video, what do you see as some of the challenges of demonstrating the value of your project to senior management? How will you adapt your project plan to address these challenges?

My project:

My first choice is project B. The individual project I would like to work for my own campus would be related to Career Development.

I believe the reason why I would like to work on a project as it relates to Career Development would be because I currently work in very close proximity to the Director of Career Development. I believe if I understood more of the compliance issues that department faces as they pertain with Accreditation. I would be a much more well-rounded Allied Health Program Director. My goal is to meet with the Director of Career Development Weekly Friday’s at 1:00 p.m. and discuss and collect the following: Employer Survey collection, data, integrity of data, sharing of data among Education and other departments to ensure that the results of the data are reviewed and implemented in order to have a stronger curriculum, train instructors and provide them feedback based on those responses. My accurately collecting this data we can ensure we have a stronger curriculum that will allow the Career Development Department to meet and achieve placement accreditation standards for our current Accrediting Council of Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS) accreditors. In addition to that, I will review Placement Verification Process and educate my team on the process to ensure compliance is maintained with our accrediting bodies.

Please see grading rubric below. This assignment should be at least 4-5 paragraphs each and very thorough. Make sure you integrate real-life applications to support key points.
