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.
