In this image it presents a slight disturbing tone due to the photo having no colour and the fact the image was taken just before the execution of Nguyen Van Lem. The photo represents what Vietnam was like around 50 years ago and shows the effect of the Viet Cong on Vietnam.

The police chief named Ngoc Loan seems to show no emotion when pulling the trigger to the suspected Viet Cong member, however the Vietnamese soldier in the background of the image seems to show a face of distress like he’s trying to stop the police chief from killing the suspect.

Robert Frank

Robert Frank was a Swiss photographer and documentary filmmaker, who became an American binational. His most notable work, the 1958 book titled The Americans, earned Frank comparisons to a modern-day de Tocqueville for his fresh and nuanced outsider’s view of American society. Robert was born on November 9th 1924 and died on September 9th, 2019 at the age of 94.

Here are some examples of Robert Franks work:

PHOTOGRAPHY IS THE ART, APPLICATION, AND PRACTICE OF CREATING DURABLE IMAGES BY RECORDING LIGHT, EITHER ELECTRONICALLY BY MEANS OF AN IMAGE SENSOR, OR CHEMICALLY BY MEANS OF A LIGHT-SENSITIVE MATERIAL SUCH AS PHOTOGRAPHIC FILM.

Photography is often used to capture moments throughout time, save a memory, and can also tell stories. Whether the photo taken is of a person, place, or object the photo will be stored and saved unless deleted or forgotten. When you take a photograph and share it with others, you’re showing a moment that was frozen through a picture. This moment can tell someone many things, from the environment to what people are doing.

When taking a photo, you need to think about specific angles, lighting, whether the camera is in focus, how far you zoom in or out, and if you are capturing the moment in landscape or portrait.

There are seven different types of photography which you can learn and practice to build a strong foundation for your photography career. These different types are, sports photography, photojournalism, still life photography, fashion photography, editorial photography, portrait photography and architectural photography.
