Cultural Photography: Read and Write

In this article, the author heard of the thing called cultural photography and was confused on what it was, so they started to research it. When someone asked them what they did, they used to say photography and if they asked what kind, documentary photography. After researching it, they found out that cultural photography is what they do and like to take picture of. Cultural photography is when you take pictures focusing on peoples culture and what the world sees and understands.

Some interesting things I found in the article was how the author explains that cultural photography helps other people understand the world more and also said that its not just taking pictures of people, but of places and things too. These stood out to me because I feel like most pictures that feel like are apart of culture have people in it. The other fact that cultural photography could help others understand the world was interesting too because I think it does help more people know what is going on in the world.

Lastly, the article was talking about how experience is more important than photography to him. I agree with this statement because I feel like you should know what and where you are doing things before you do it. They also talk about the results of the image you take can change based off your your tools, surroundings, and people. I agree with this because there are always cool things around the subject, or the subject is in focus in good pictures.
