Oriana Fallaci was a female journalist. During her time she
also did work as an author and political interviewer. She was born on June 29th
1929, and throughout the 60’s-80’s she was known for taking pictures during
World War II and the revolution. She was also known for interviewing world
leaders, and people had said that she was bold and loved writing war and what
goes on. She wrote with an integrity and force
of character that defined her life's work up until the very last days.
People say she was a huge inspiration to photojournalism at this time because
of her “dynamic, dramatic and distinct point of view” of the democracies during
the time of the world. She could get interviews with people no one else could.
Fallaci
has been known to be a brutal interrogator but her fellow photojournalist. She would insist instead that she
merely frames the questions other reporters lack the courage to ask. Others
photojournalist went into interviews shy and with less authority, Fallaci prefers an approach that she calls
"correct" and "honest." Each interview, was direct and
to the point. Fallaci died
of cancer aged 77, at
her death, was facing charges of vilifying Islam under Italian law following
the publication of her book, The Strength of Reason, one of three polemical
works published since the September 11 attacks. She was facing all these
attacks because of things she wrote in her stories, for example she said things
like as Muslims "breed like rats". So people started attacking her in
her other works.
One type of job
women faced discrimination is in the military. One example is back in 1970’s
women were not allowed to be police officers because they were not know to be
able to protect our country. According to a video Lynsey states that “women weren’t able to do man jobs, but could
relate better with people because they feel more comfortable with women.”
Many people just didn’t trust women, and assumed when it comes to protecting
people women just were not fit to do it.
Another type of
job women faced discrimination against was being a doctor. Most people think
that women are not suitable to being a doctor because they simply are not smart
enough. Women are capable to doing whatever they want because they know they
face discrimination so they try to prove everyone wrong and do the
“impossible.” Now a days we have more female doctors. One thing that women
still face to this day is moving up in position in a business, they almost
always choose a male over a female.

-Black and white photo: I liked that this picture was posted in black and white because yes it was posted in 2010 on the website but by using an old photo black and white shows the history behind the photo.
-Another thing principle I chose was keep it simple. This photo is very simple because nothing really is going on in the background. this is good because it doesn't distract you from the main focus of the photo.
-Lastly I chose contrast appropriate. I think there is to much contrast because some of the faces are hard to see. Also some areas are lighter than other and it throws the photo off a little.
-I liked this photo the best because it showed how not many women were cops. This also shows that these women were brave enough to step out of their comfort zones to strive to do better. Lastly it shows the progress of history because there are way more female cops now.

-I chose rule of thirds because the main focus of the photo is off to the left. Another reason its in the lower half of the photo. Also this is good because it keeps you guessing what she is looking at.
-I chose use of lines. the lines along the tower make the picture look bigger. But it also makes the main character look smaller than what she really is. All the little people at the bottom on the building look tiny compared to the building.
-This image conveys feeling. It makes me wonder what she is looking it. She looks afraid, or like she is running from something. You can tell by her face that something is up and it really captures emotion.
-I chose this photo of my journalist Oriana Fallaci because i feel it captures how people would say how she's sneaky. Also this photo showed her determination to get things done and not let things get in her way.

-I chose in and out of focus. I chose this because this photo is in focus. I think its in focus because it puts an emphasis on the women preparing for surgery. Also shows the steps it takes to get ready for it.
-I also chose subject expression. I chose this because the expression on their faces are serious and intense. They are prepared for whatever they are about to do. It also seems calm and relaxed because they know exactly what happens.
- Obvious main subject. It is clear that the two doctor in the front are the main subject. They take up 80% of the photo. But one thing I would change is maybe showing more of the background so you get a better sense of what is going on behind them.
-I liked this image the best because it was clear and simple. The photo doesn't leave you guessing about anything. It also shows the transformation of women being able work at the same level as a male doctor.
