Michael Ray

Michael ray graduated art school in 1970. He began his career as the in-house photographer for image studio, a design firm in Kentucky. Working there, he understood photography more in complementing design and enhancing communication. He also began photographing food and fell in love with representing flavors and scents through visual images. Michael worked for clients such as sears, spiegal, and montgomery ward. Since his schooting space was near the studios kitchen, Michael handled the majority of projects requiring food, this enabled Michael to develope expertise in lighting, shooting food, also chrome and glassware.

Photo Journalism

By Alfred Eisenstaedt, the famous "kiss picture" taken on VJ day. This is important because it was victory in japan day and it emphasizes the couple reuniting. Mood is romantic and welcoming. The impact is the two people in heat of passion and that it is in black and white it gives it more of an emoitonal feeling.




By mike simmons the scene is two people hugging and crying over the tragic accident in the backround. Mike simmons emphasized the two people hugging and purposfully made the backround blurry so that he could focus on the mood of the two people who are sad.





by Brian L Frank this scene is the incident in mexico last year due to drug violence. 4,000 people were murdered. Brian Frank uses black and white to emphasize the people in the back round and the first thing you stare at is the mans arm with the tattoo. This shows destruction and violence.
