Ralph Gibson 

Ralph Gibson was known for his light, shadow, and form work. He did his photos without color to show the effect of light and shadow has in a image. He studied his photography work at San Francisco Art Institute. He later became an assistance for Dorothea Lange and Robert Frank. This had led him to becoming an independent photographer.  

This picture was chosen because of the shadow work. Since we are working on composition, light and shadow, and reflection, this piece shows two of what we are working on in my perspective. The shadow from the mans face can be seen as a reflection because it is in front of him. Moving on to the body that is being shown, The light that is hitting the body gives it a shadow that gives the figure some kind of depth to not make it look like a 2D figure. When I had first seen this photo, I didn't notice the naked body because the main shadow that was being shown was from the man's head which is a focal point in my perspective.

(  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
