I like this photo because it is a mixture between art (of what you would see in paintings) and photography (of what I am learning right now). When I discovered what Photography was suppose to mean based on Marvin Heiferman’s Photography Changes Everything, I had learned that it don’t really have an exact meaning. Photography is just a way of help you understand through different things. A couple of examples would be,  changes of where we go (as in, you could feel like you are there when you aren’t) or who we are (as in, it would define who we are when we take photos or, at least, make people relate in a way).

Photography also means to me that it is just a form of art but with pictures that weren’t drawn or painted. It could also be a form of proof from the time it was taken because back then, photoshop wasn’t made and that had given people a better understanding of what was going on. Photography is like a hidden message that could have one in it.

Wolfgang Tillmans ~Charise J (240 ART)

(  Wolfgang Tillmans | Artnet  ) Wolfgang Tillmans   Wolfgang Tillmans studied in England at Bournemouth and Poole College of Art and Design. He studied for 2 years in the early 1990s. He was a gay pride photographer and became the coeditor of Spex Magazine. Tillmans had later won the Turner Prize which resulted to him being the first and non-American photographer to earn one.  This photo was chosen because of the color of the reflection. The reflection is much brighter than the actual flower and this makes me want to try to get a photo like this. The flower is seen as a short one in the vase but the reflection is different. The reflection shows that it looks like an actual rose but in yellow. Because of the material of the gold flower, the reflection shows more lines. This makes the rose on the wall look like it is outside in a spring or summer area with the sun shinning brightly. This photo also gives out good vibes because of the color and style that the reflection of the gold rose

Irving Penn ~ Charise J

  ( https://loeildelaphotographie.com/en/reflection-on-irving-penns-photographs-after-dinner-games-new-york-1947/ ) Irving Penn Irvin Penn was known for his still life, portraits, and fashion photography photos. He studied at Philadelphia Museum School for Industrial Art for two years in the 1930s. Around the 1950s, he opened his own art studio, which had made him grow more popular over time. His work on Still Life was more of it being abstract because of the volumes and lines of the objects. Most of his art work is being shown in museums in the United States and Europe. This photo was chosen because it reminds me of how Still Life could just be anything. But you could make a bigger image out of what was used. For this one, it shows me tea time while playing a game, but for rich folks. His other Still Life's like this also have a meaning behind them. But when he uses objects to make a Still Life that isn't like this, it turns into an objects. For example, his other type of Stil
