Photography
The photograph of the deer drinking water is a photo taken by a photographer named Frans Lanting and the mugshot of Frank Sinatra was released by the Berger County Sheriff’s Office in 1938.
The first image definitely has an artistic appeal and was taken by a professional photographer who has multiple portfolios of work. There is an obvious pattern shown with the group of deer drinking from the spring. The reflection in the water has the same pattern and artistic appeal. The reflection in the water and the deer drinking from the spring meet at the surface of the water. This aspect of the photograph makes this photo a piece of art and makes it pleasing on the eye. This image could be used for something more than just art. This image could be seen in a textbook and could be used as a visual for an article explaining the habitat and lifestyle of deer.
The second image shows the mugshot of a famous singer named Frank Sinatra. This image was released by the police department for the general public to be aware of someone who was recently convicted of committing a crime. The image was initially used to document news and to show it to the public; however, nowadays, this picture can be found on posters around the world. It is a hugely popular photo and the image is now has a purpose for art. People simply like the photo; probably due to the fact that the convict became an icon in the music industry and the fact that he was an attractive man.
Initially, the two photos represented above, were created for different purposes. The first image was used as a piece of artwork and the second image was used to document a current news report at the time. However, the first photo could be used for documentation and the second photo has been used as a work of art for several years in pop culture.
