V.I.P Photos
Sports/Action Shot Credits: https://mudslinger.rumbleon.com/motocross-dictionary-part-three September 7th , 2019 Though this picture has no historical importance , it is one of the best of it category. it conveys beauty , movement , and planning . This piece shows the beauty of the sport while also being pretty cool to look at. I don't think there is a boring part of this piece and that's what makes it the best in its category. |
Landscape

It sheds light on the tree in the center which gets your attention and makes you think "What is the story shown here?" Even the hues shown in this piece puts a story or image in your head. So for landscape its not the most interesting but it is one of the best due to the person utilizing a ton of different pieces in art theory. |
Current Events/News

This is one of the best in its category because it is composed well , shows what the soldier is looking at and the hues compliment it. It shows the dusty place the soldiers are leaving ; finally getting to go home. This will go down in history and serves as a temporary relief on a long long war and that is what makes this image one of the best in it's category. |
Politics

This photo holds a ton of importance and is known as a huge milestone for America and the black community. Obviously there are much more appealing photos to look at on the internet , but the context of this photo is what makes it important and significant. Barack Obama is a symbol of the growing acceptance and equality we have achieved in America, and has shown minority groups that anything is possible even leading a nation with hard work and dedication. |
Historical Events
Credits: Apollo 11 Crew , Wikilmages/Pixabay This Image is historically important and one of the best in its category because this is the first time we landed on the moon and had successful space travel in the U.S. This is one of the first images taken from space that in and of itself is amazing. That is why it is an important image and one of the best, its because of how fascinating it is. Back then space travel was a very far off dream and when that dream was carried out , tons of people stood there in awe .This was a landmark of the future and a huge "step for mankind" that's why its the best in this category. |
Day-in-the-Life/Personal
Credits: Markiplier 2016 This image is personal and shows a ton about each person in a small frame of their life. You can see the relationships between them , and even a glimpse of their personalities. This piece is one of the best personal pieces because you can see how much they care for one another , they are all happy in this frame- (slight context they have been friends for years!) and all the smiles are genuine . A small glimpse into their dynamic and a small perspective into their lives and situations that's why its important. |
Travel

What speaks travel more than a picture from a plane portal? This is one of the best in its category because it shows exactly what its supposed to , travel. You get to see so much when you fly , states , cities, mountains and cloud formations. Looking down at the world below you. Majority of the time you travel is on flights or long road trips that's why this piece screams travel. |
Fashion/Product/Brand Marketing

Billie Eilish's clothing and style is absolutely stunning and true to herself and her ideals. Her clothing is modest but still holds a ton of beauty . She tends to wear baggy/ unrevealing clothes and many others applaud her for that as most female musicians are oversexualized and tend to wear revealing clothing to gain appeal. That's why I feel her fashion sense is important and these pictures are one of the best , because it shows you don't need revealing clothes to be famous. |
Wildlife or (Domestic) Animal
Credits: https://www.lovethegarden.com/uk-en/article/18-amazing-facts-about-birds This photo shows the stunning detail of an owl mid flight supposedly about to pounce onto its prey. Not only did the camera man block out the background but they got the barn owl in perfect focus you can see every little feather on its head and feet and its stunning to me. I feel they also successfully cropped it to be a size where nothing on this piece is boring , all the space is untilized well and the negative space compliments whats in focus. even the background matches the birds color pallet. Thats what makes this one of the best , it's a beautiful shot ; a frame sooner or later would have made the picture way different than it is and thats what makes is unique. |
Portrait
Credits: https://www.greatbigcanvas.com/view/marilyn-monroe-b,1059411/?utm_content=buffer082dd&utm_medium=softpost&utm_source=pinterest&utm_campaign=buffer Marilyn Monroe is a well known icon from the 1950's and she's always been known as one of the most beautiful people to have lived. This picture has beautiful quality for its time and her beauty is radiant in this picture. The background isn't distracting and its just a generally good picture. Its important because of the significance she held as a model and has significance because she was supposedly dating/ in close relations to the Kennedys (the bad luck family) as well. |
