Hiroshi Sugimoto

Hiroshi Sugimoto went to college twice in the 1970s. He first went to Saint Paul's University in Tokyo and Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles. By the time he went to New York to continue to pursue his career, he had gotten more notice. His work was in museums in New York and later his work went into museums in United Kingdom. He had later won awards from his photography works.

This photo was chosen because this was a weird type of portrait to me. This is more like a fashion type of portrait because the dress stands out more and I think that is what Sugimoto was aiming for. The way that the light is aiming at the dress is more at the bottom, as in it seems to be pointing at the lower part of her back. Since the back is facing the camera, some of the curves on the dress are highlighted by the light. This makes the figure kind of disappear but we can still see her arms and neck. I really like the way the dress doesn't really blend in with the background. If the light was directed somewhere else, the dress wouldn't be seen clearly especially since the photo is in black and white.

(  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
