Richard Misrach

Your stereotypical picture taken with a camera usual pertains to a subect or foreground, a background, and depending on the lighting a flash if necessary. Richard Misrach takes this concept to a whole new level shooting pictures of nature that looks almost unreal. Many of his subjects are of natures most wonderful things, such as clouds, plants, deserts, and sky. His uses his flash while shooting night shots to give a unique and experimental look.

Sally Mann

Sally Mann is a very interesting and unique artist that has a different sense of art and life all together. Previous to watching the short documentary on her, our Professor Small informed our class of the controversy the public had on Mann's photographs. Some saw her as a child photographer, taking pictures of her children in poses naked when they were small. But if you look beyond the picture and looked into the message and expressions that she captures with her camera and through the photograph, you can see the beauty that she saw. Mann was raised in a Atheist household and life and you can see that her passion and life is dedicated to photography. He kids say that she lives and looks at everything through a photographers view, (as art) and that she lives through her work and her photos are like her religion.

Collier Schorr

Collier Schorr is a very interesting and unique artist that feels and captures life with meaning and as an art piece. People, in places, environments, emotions, and moods are all pieces to her puzzle of alternative look on people and she expresses deeply in her film. I liked the fact that she captures people within their moment, whether they are celebrating a victory or morning and pondering from a defeat. It is candid shots like theses that show the true meaning of a sport and or an event and the memories that go along with it.

Burtynsky

Burtynsky's work and style of art is very basic and quite simple in many aspects. Many of his pictures were just wide shots that had so much depth to it that it showed the reality of the industry he was shooting. A major key to his shots is the technicality of how he presents the setting. His shots are "glorious waste" and shows true beauty in the polluted resource areas around the world, as well as in the sweat shops. I am blown away with the depth of field and the color and lighting in the shots that he has. You can tell that his equipment is high-end and profession with the large format pictures he is able to take, but it is also takes a great eye and talent to separate the "Ok shots" with the "Great ones".

James Nachtwey

The short feature of famous war photo journalist, James Nachtwey, was a very moving and compelling piece. Through the art of photography, he has changed the lives for many people for the better, exposing the truth and real hardships of reality outside the United States and also capturing history in which without his photos, would be lost with the sands of time. The film in regards of this class shows the power in which people have with a picture and how it can influence and change people.

A picture holds a thousand words, how will you tell the story?

The First Class

Well I would have to say that the first night of class was pretty fun. There is always the introduction of class with the syllabus and the requirements for the class and all that great stuff you get the first 20 minutes of class, but I am really excited to see what work I can produce over this coming semester. I have finally found a major that falls into the field that I am already in :.)
