Comparing and contrasting the work of Ansel Adams and Joseph Nicéphore Niépce.
(MLA Format)
Tell me what you see in the work, what you think about the work—how the work of the two photographers is similar, different or is influenced by one or the other. How is the work in conversation together or in opposition of each other—or both!
Write about the significance of the timeframe the images were made, the gender of the photographers, the ethnic background and cultures of the photographers. Maybe their religious affiliation affected what they photographed?
I am looking for your ability to write about these photographers and their images from your perspective, not from the perspective of a random art historian.
Please include:
-
- At least three images per photographer for a total of six images (which do not contribute to the page count),
- Any interesting biographical/background information
- Remember to explain their significance in the history of photography
- You should cite a minimum of six sources with at least one being a book (Chicago Manual Style)
