Christian Vogt ~Charise J (337 ART)





Christian Vogt

Christian Vogt was a photographer during the 1960s. He took photos that wanted to have a meaning behind it and not just a phot for memories. He like people to understand that a photo can have a story hidden behind the surface. That is something that I look for when it comes to art works (photos or pictures), because no one really knows the true story or meaning of what they are seeing.  

This photo was chosen because is it mostly positive space which I find interesting. There is a hidden figure in the image that you would just have to look at closely. The hidden image kind of reminds me of shadow photography because when you print the shadow, you have the choice to show more or less of the figure during the processing stage. It also reminds me of the grain part of when you have to reflect the image on to the photographic paper before processing it to see what you had reflected. The image could also be seen as something in the fog which is hard to see through when the fog is thick.

(  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
