write around 1000 words about Mitchel Wu and what he does as a photographer, and about his photos and career as a toy photographer as well as his inspiration and process of photo studio.
(The sooner the better and i know this is weird to say but don’t use Ai)
The more sources the better but just incase you could just use these three sources i’m giving:

https://blog.hobbydb.com/2021/02/05/the-many-visual-worlds-of-mitchel-wu-toy-photography/
And this is the citation style i’d like just incase (https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/home.html)

Answer the following questions in references to the textbook called Photography: A Cultural History, 4th Edition, by Mary Warner Marien. The version of this book was written over in 2014. I will provide the uploads for the pages which the answer of the questions can be found. Also, the uploads from the selected textbook pages will be enough for you in answering the questions. Again, you don’t require to consider using other sources for responding.
1.) What are some of the goals New Social Documentary photographers?
2.) Give at least three reasons why some photographers during this period deliberately blurred their images.
3.) Contrast the goals of the photographers during this period who used cheap technology versus thos whose photographs required big budgets and elaborate shoots.
4.) Give at least three reasons why some photographers during this period created staged photographs.
5.) Give at least three ways photographers during this period used photography to comment on relations between humans and nature.
REFLECTION: For each question response try in using complete and clear sentences. Each response should not be more than four sentences longer. 

USE THE ATTACHED FILE AS JUMPING OFF POINT, THAT WAS THE FIRST PART OF THIS WHOLE ASSIGNMENT
Summary:  Utilizing the research and writing you have completed thus far, formulate a thesis addressing the artist’s or movement’s body of work you have been researching and writing about.  In this case, a thesis is an argument, a proposed way of looking at, understanding, or contextualizing the work that you have been researching.  You are then going to argue why the work should be understood in this way.  You must integrate biographical, historical, cultural, and art historical/art analytical information together to argue your point.  The aim of the essay is to synthesize what you have learned towards a complex question you wish to prove (argue) through the essay. 
Basics:
5-7 pages of text for the body of the essay (1250 to 1750 words, double spaced, not including the bibliography or footnootes). 12 pt text, double spaced. 
Create a title page for the essay and include your name.
You must include and discuss at least 3 visual examples in the course of your essay.  Please label and cite the images as figures. 
You must use at least 4 sources in your paper from your research.  Utilize citations, footnotes, and include a bibliography in Chicago style.
Turn in online as a single file, multipage pdf. AI detection software will be used in grading the essay.  Your are required to write this essay in your own voice.
Advice:
Don’t be overwhelmed, identifying a thesis is the toughest part.  Next, outline a 5 paragraph essay (intro with thesis followed by three arguements supporting the thesis, followed by a conclusion) as a starting point and then expand to greater complexity as needed
Don’t use AI, hammer this one out yourself and use what you have gathered together as research.  Or, after you hammer out your outline, write the essay as a first draft quickly, in one sitting.  Only then, use AI to draft out another version of the essay.  Compare, and see where you are. (Note: asking AI to draft out your essay can be tricky if you don’t know how to get it to acknowledge your resources and draw from your bibliography; still it can be helpful to see if AI points you in directions you had not understood you could take).  Remember, AI is not here to do your thinking for you, but a tool to help your thinking.
Write in successive drafts.  Aim to have a full second draft ready for proofing and reworking no later than a week before the final paper is due.  Then, work to redraft and finalize.  
Completing a draft sooner than later and sharing it with trusted colleagues in your groups for proofing and feedback is always a good idea.
Don’t turn in an AI generated paper, Canvas’ AI detector will single it out.  Write in your own words and translate information from AI into your own language and argumentation.

Photography is the art, application, and practice of creating 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. It is employed in many fields of science, manufacturing (e.g., photolithography), and business, as well as its more direct uses for art, film and video production, recreational purposes, hobby, and mass communication.

There are many different graphic file formats. Some store raster data while others store vector data. List and define five different vector AND raster formats. Select one raster AND one vector format and compare them. Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each. Try not to use formats already discussed.
In the United States, a work is copyrighted as soon as it is created. What constitutes a “work” is a complex subject and is beyond the scope of this topic. Generally, however, it includes written works (e.g., books, articles, etc.), pictures (including original art), and music, among others.
In this discussion answer the listed questions.
Should anyone be allowed to use any picture (or other copyrighted work) without permission and/or compensation from the copyright holder?
How do you know a work is copyrighted? If it is, how do you get permission to use it?
What are the ramifications of using a copyrighted work?
How can you protect your own work so it is protected
