Photographers

Photographers

Below are some photographers that were shown in class, the ones listed below are the ones where i really admired and liked their work.

Eugene Atget- her works viewed where of buildings and alleyways, they were old fashioned and very beautiful.

Walker Evens- showed elements within his images and that really appealled to me and is something that i admire.

Diane Arbus- are images using people, people that are different and out of the ordinary. The image shown was one of a young boy holding a grenade. I really liked how she captured the image and the extrordinariness of it.

Joel Meyerowitz- his images had beautiful colours and were under the use of natural light. These really appealed to me as he captured such admirable natural images.

Bill Brandt- the images viewed where mainly of buildings and were rather dark, something about the darkness of the images appealed to me and created a liking to his works.
