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 is giving off.

Abelardo Morell ~Charise J (Digital Photographer 340)

  Abelardo Morell   ( Photograms — Abelardo Morell ) Abelardo Morell was born in 1948 in Cuba. He traveled to the United States with his parents in 1962. He first went to  Bowdoin College to get his undergrad and then went to t he Yale University School of Art to get his MFA. He later became a professor of photography from 1983 to 2010 at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. As Morell's life went on, he received rewards from different museums in the United States. As I looked at his photography, I noticed that his "Photograms" were my favorite. The way his still life's were done was kind of something that I have done with mine but the only difference was that mine was done with a digital camera and not a film camera. I can also compare that the still life is completely dark while in mine it's the background that is completely dark. I once wanted to do a project on reflections because they looked cool when taken in a photo for memory purposes. The way it lo

Dina Litovsky ~Charise J (240 ART)

( https://dinalitovsky.com/Editorial/LINDSEY-VONN/1 ) Dina Litovsky   Dina Litovsky was born in Ukrainian in 1979. She is currently living in New York City. She went to college to get her bachelors degree in psychology and later moved on to get her MFA degree for photography. She likes to take photographs that expresses subcultures and social gathering.  This photo was chosen because I wanted to aim for her movement-type of photos that involved her capture them in the moment. It wouldn't be helpful to me if it was just photos of her pausing to get the moment because my process was trying to get my person through out the process to capture what she does. the difference that I have compared to her is that I did close-ups and my person in color because this was the series of Lindsey Vonn that Litovsky did that I connected with.  ~Charise J

Alec Soth ~Charise J (Digital photography 340)

  Alec Soth   (  Alec Soth | Sleeping by the Mississippi  ) Alec Soth was born in Minnesota in 1969. He went to Sarah Lawerence College. He started as a painter and moved on to be a photographer. During his photography career, he published 25 books about his work. He likes to take photos to make poetry and not document.  His work is kind of similar to mine because we are both connecting the social life of what someone does to the photography life. This is a form of showing people what others don't see. It is a way of understanding something that the person enjoys. I kind of see a connection with the cover because we both are trying to connect it to the theme of the photos before actually seeing the photos.  I want to take photos of people up close with the things that they like. I believe that it's what makes the person what they are today or what keeps them together. The items that a person keeps dear to them are what makes them who they are.
