Context the 15 iconic images



I found the above picture in Google. When I saw it first time it inspired me to do editing. The picture looks different with all the paintings on the wall and the writings are so colourful I would really like to learn how to make image like this. The scarf on his head makes it even unique and motivated me to find the-secrete behind it. There are two candles standing on the bottom of the image that is a creative idea and it looks great.



this image is too fresh to look at and it is very attractive. seeing the picture, the couple seems having luxury life. the decoration around the room adds more beauty to the picture, and smile of the couple and the light aside the bed makes it bright. the couples are looking at some photos or reading something funny.






This picture shows Mohammed Ali the greatest boxer of all the time in action.he is showing aggressive attitude and chanting win, win. his opposition is down on the floor lost the title for Mohammed Ali.
























this picture is one of Cheryl Coles iconic image. it looks like she is going to concert for a show and she looks happy as you can see.

                           











The above image is the Americans best dancers crew; there are five boys and two girls, they work hard as a group that's why they getting better and better. this image Looks like they taken picture in studio, what they are wearing it matches and its good to look at. The black man on the top is pointing to the camera that could be showing off.



This pristine shot of the band crossing the road in unison takes place just outside the EMI Studios on Abbey Road. The photo has led many a fan to venture to the same spot in an attempt to recreate the shot themselves, although likely without the assistance of the stepladder and traffic cop halting traffic it took for photographer Iain Macmillan to accomplish.



This image was painted by good Wives and warriors. The painted is too colourful and its amazing the way  how they made everything up, if you look on the top of both side of the image there is birds flying that’s really good idea and if you look at the London eye, the building, speakers on bottom I think  the hole idea is creative.   



There is two mans standing and looking at the above image it seem like they know something about the image or you can say they really like the picture. For me its old black and white image when I first saw it I thought them watching movie in cinema because of the lights looks like it.




This image looks like there is war going on in some of the Asian country. I think these children are crying and trying   to run away from the soldiers behind them or maybe those soldiers are defending the children’s. Basally it is a sad picture for me.





An iconic World War II era poster. The photo is a scan of a copy belonging to the National Museum of American History, The photo accompanying this quiz shows Norman Rockwell's painting of “Rosie the River,” the iconic character honored through the establishment of Rosie the Riveter/World War II Home Front National Historical Park. and it looks really cool with the all painted.




Despite writing almost two hundred years ago, Austen's work still stands up as well in popular culture as it does in academic study. Familiar novels like Sense and SensibilityPride and Prejudice and Emma are masterpiece of literary realism and offer invaluable insights into the lives of women in the 18th and 19th centuries, but it is their enduring sense of romance and ability to enchant young readers that means we still love Austen as well as admire her.






These are the goals that will never be forgotten.These are the goals you know better than your first-born son. These aren't necessarily the 15 best goals football has ever produced. Best and "most iconic mean different things.To be iconic, a goal must live on in the collective memory of all football fans. It doesn't matter the reason.Some came in big matches. Some feature skill that's too memorable to ever forget.All of them share one trait: Fans around the world know them as soon as you mention them. 
Jesse Owens is one of the most iconic Olympians of all time, as his achievements at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin publically dismantled Hitler's ideology of Aryan physical superiority.For all his heroics, there was a cruel irony in Jesse besting the Nazis, only to then still be treated as a second-class citizen at home.We spoke to this film's director, Laurens Grant, Olympian John Carlos, a friend of Jesse's, and Olympian John Regis.


David Beckham is one of the best player in the world. He is one of the most iconic athletes and decorated football players of all-time. He is the second most capped England player in history, scoring in three FIFA World Cups.  However, David’s name now stretches beyond just football –in recent years, his name has also become synonymous with style, fashion, and recently, through his work as UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, he has become known as a key advocate of charity work.

 One of the most iconic image ever taken of singer-songwriter Bob Marley were photographed  at the height of his career by renowned photographer David Burnett. Burnett, who is co-founder or the photo agency Contact Press Image, and a veteran of decades in the photography industry, chronicles these image in a recent book, Soul Rebel.

IwanBaan iconic pic 1




This picture was taken by IwanBaan in NEW YORK city. its all ready become one of the most iconic images of new york city post-hurricane sandy. The photo, captured by Dutch photographer IwanBaan, shows the city's powerless southern end mostly blacked-out in the wake of Sandy, and the more fortunate midtown and northern areas still lit. 
Baan shot the image "wide open" with Canon's new EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM with the 1D X set at ISO 25,000 and 1/40th of second shutter speed.


he have photographed Manhattan from above many times in the past, so when he set out to shoot, he had already in mind his approach. he also thought, the only way to truly show how the island, which was now divided by those with power, and those without, was to find a helicopter, and shoot it from the sky.
he began calling on all of the heli-pilots he could think of in the Manhattan area, but each of them were either without fuel, on recovery efforts, or without power themselves. To his relief, after nearly exhausting all efforts, he managed to get a hold of a pilot who he had met just a week prior, and he said yes, he was able to fly.
The day after Sandy struck, he had reserved a car in Manhattan – just in case. But to his demise, the rental company had already given away his reservation, leaving him without a car, and without a means to getting to the helipad.
After a bit of negotiating, he finally found a rental at JFK. And 4 hours of standstill traffic, closed bridges and a $2,000.00 USD price tag later, he made it to the airport and had the car keys in hand.
Before he could shake off a bit of the frenzy that was going around, his phone rang. It was New York Magazine calling, and all that he could make out through the broken network reception was the word helicopter. With the phone lines being as bad as they were, it was completely impossible to hear what they were saying, but he figured he’d make his way to the heliport no matter what. he had already made his 4-hour trek out of Manhattan, so he could make it there in a breeze.
Without doors on the heli, it was a freezing cold, hour-long ride to fly into Manhattan. he  spent about an hour above the city, where he knew he wanted to capture these two cities – one, a vibrant and pulsating Manhattan that we recognize so vividly, and it’s antonym – a life-less city turned pitch-black and ominous.
                                                    context 
Iwan Baan is known primarily for images that narrate the life and interactions that occur within architecture. Born in 1975, Iwan grew up outside Amsterdam, studied at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague and worked in publishing and documentary photography in New York and Europe.

pic1 bullring












pic1 bullring 


 this picture was taken in bullring Birmingham, people thinks it is boring as it looks but it is not that boring  as it looks.   the shops are good and they are all in the city centre. On the 2nd floor of the bullring is a cut into the Pallisades shopping centre so the whole thing is continuous. For Birmingham don't expect it to be beautiful - but there are a lot of decent shops and places to eat in the city centre. It is very good for a day out shopping. Think tank is supposed to be good because you can see a lot of science stuff in 3D and they give you the glasses. Look that up and its in the city centre. Just outside the city centre are some nice parks and open spaces so you  can go and chill there in the summer time.

car park


This wall is made up of crushed cars & it is a car park in Digbeth. Through a towering brick arch over Heath Mill Lane in the old Birmingham industrial district of Digbeth, someone has put their artistic talents to work on a lot of old car parts. They have compacted the rusting gearboxes and hubcaps into blocks and stacked them neatly in two tall piles. The pair of towers flank the entrance to a car park. At the far end, the giant word FORWARD is painted on a brick wall. The whole set up screams "artistic rejuvenation of former factory city". The only problem is, the car park is just that – an empty lot ringed by metal spike fencing. You can't go left or right, let alone forward. It's a dead end. and a lot people thinks it is just a made up picture they don't think it is real.
