  Josef Sudek Report on your initial reactions to the artist's work.               I noticed a lot of objects, nature, and texture. How would you categorize their work?                Landscape Photography Compare their works to works you’ve seen before. How do they compare? Do you like them or dislike them and why? I feel like his photos are very usual and something I've seen before. I don't dislike them but I think they are not that special. If someone made their work today, how would it be different or the same? I think it would probably be very similar. Analyze the quote at the end of the slide show. “Everything around us, dead or alive, in the eyes of a crazy photographer, mysteriously takes on many variations, so that a seemingly dead object comes to life through light and its surroundings.” I think this quote is very deep and true and you can definitely see it in his photography. Make s...

  Garry Winogrand Report on your initial reactions to the artist's work.  I noticed a lot of people on his photos. I also noticed that most of them have a social meaning. How would you categorize their work? I would say it's something like street photography but also documentary photography. Compare their works to works you’ve seen before. How do they compare? Do you like them or dislike them and why? I realized that his work looks similar to E lliott Erwitt's photography but I think Winogrand's photography involves more visible social meanings. If someone made their work today, how would it be different or the same? It would include more recent social problems and social stuff in general. Analyze the quote at the end of the slide show. “Photography is not about the thing photographed. It is about how that thing looks photographed.” I think that this is very true since most stuff can be photographed but it won’t necessarily look good if you don’t give it a meaning. Ma...

Bernd and Hilla Becher Report on your initial reactions to the artist's work. I noticed a lot of lines, symmetry, repetition, and geometrical shapes. How would you categorize their work? Architecture Photography Compare their works to works you’ve seen before. How do they compare? Do you like them or dislike them and why? I have seen architectural photography before, but what I think I haven't seen before is the repetition they involve and how they sort of make photography collections where all the pictures make sense within each other.  If someone made their work today, how would it be different or the same? I think it would involve more recent types of architecture and maybe involve digital photography. Analyze the quote at the end of the slide show. “...art school used to put the fear of God into their students by asking them “Can you make a living out of that?” We wanted just the opposite and simply told them to make stuff first then we’d go on from there.” I think that th...

  David LaChapelle Report on your initial reactions to the artist's work. I noticed that there is a lot of colors and a lot of religion too. I also thought the pictures have a lot of elements to the point they can be oversaturated. There's also lots of celebrities. How would you categorize their work? Fashion Photography, Celebrity Photography, Commercial Photography, Pop Photography. Compare their works to works you’ve seen before. How do they compare? Do you like them or dislike them and why? I've seen photography that involves everything that LaChapelle includes in their photography, but i've seen them separately and laChapelle includes them in just one picture. I think that the fact that he includes so many elements in his pictures it could look oversaturated. If someone made their work today, how would it be different or the same? I think his work is very recent that if someone did it today it would be mostly the same. Maybe more recent celebrities. Analyze the quo...
