Philippe Halsman ~Charise J (337 ART) (Studio Portrait)




Philippe Halsman 

Philippe Halsman was born on May 6, 1902 in Northern Europe. He started to take photos at the age of fifteen when he found the camera in the attic. Since he was young and just learning, his sister became his participant. Halsman started to believe that taking photos of people's faces was a way to another human being in the photo according to the face. 

This photo was chosen because of the unique style that Halsman decided to use. Usually, no one would take photos like this. But, he had took it above the other photographers. I find that very interesting. With this type of style in this photo, it is all about timing to get it right. It is clear that he didn't do this by himself. So, he wanted him and his partners to calculate the right moment to toss everything at the same time with the main focus still being seen. This is like how Richard Avedon take risks because it is all about the time and some may come out good while other's will come out bad. But, that is all up to the viewer and mostly the photographer.

(  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
