Philip-Lorca diCorcia
diCorcia's photos from his series Hustlers show just how photography can be used as a voice to bring attention to subjects that are swept under the rug in mainstream society. The way that he uses depth of field is helpful in giving the viewer a focal point and direction in how to read the photo.

Laura Williams
Laura Williams is a photographer based out of the UK. What I love most about her work is that her personal work seems to be just that, personal. Most of her personal work are self portraits. They usually seem to deal in the supernatural. They ask questions about possibly her inner self, her soul. I love the super natural almost as if they were photoshopped, but she prides on challenging perception without photoshop for the majority.
Vik Muniz Photos in Chocolate
Vik Muniz is a photographer from Costa Rica who was inspired by chocolate. In Muniz's series of Photos, he makes photos of drawings, in chocolate syrup, of other photos. In Action Photo I and II (1997) are photographs of chocolate drawings of a photograph. Meaning there was an original photo he got the idea from that wasn't his. I don't think it's wrong to remake images that have been already seen in a new and creative way. The chocolate drippings work very well for portraying the paint drips of Pollock's work. The way the chocolate reflects the light is interesting and can be manipulated to show even more or less of a highlight. Something to experiment with in my next series of chocolate photos.
ElenaShumilova

Elena Shumilova is a russian mother who started to photograph her two sons interactions with animals. At least, that is where she started. She now has a range of photos that differ from portraits of her dogs to even self portraits. She started doing thease images when she recieved her first professional camera. The first photo is a self portrait i believe. I find this interestign because she chose to backlight the subject. But even though the subject is backlite the area around her is very well lite. I would love to try and recreate this shot on my own.the next photo is of one of her sons sitting on a window sill during a storm. This is a nice shot because the soft light that casts onto the boy's face, the fact that the boy's face is not completly visible. and i love that it is in black and white with a slight tint of blue. The last photo is of one of her sons walking in the snow. I LOVE this shot. the moon looks awesome in this photo and i love how the child is frozen in place stareing off at the moon. The atmosphere in this photo is amazing, with the smoke like air and the snow moving around. I really want to know how this lady works.

Wynn Bullock
Wynn Bullock
Wynn Bullock is an interesting photographer. He took mostly black and white pictures. The color pictures that he does are abstract and hard to decipher how he got those results. The black and white pictures are very detailed because the pictures are of close ups of objects with patterns.

Klaus Pichler
Klaus Pichler is a freelance photographer from Vienna, Austria. The start of this series comes from a visit to the Museum of Natural History, Vienna where he looked in a basement window and saw a desk, computer, and shelves, oh and a stuffed antelope too. He was intrigued and was given permission to see the museum in a way others had not. Some of the images are taken as seen while others are clearly staged. Either way, Pichler found a way to make a subject that is already interesting and make it even more interesting. I've visited museums in DC times over and always find it difficult to create interesting photographs from the same displays. Pichler probably would not have been able to produce this series without an ask. What's the worst that could happen? Being told no?
Steven Brahms
Steven Brahms is a photographer/director from Wisconsin. I chose him as an artist because he has a surreal feel to his pictures. Like it is an excerpt from some fiction narrative which would seem right because of is director title. I like the wild and imaginative look of his pictures, he uses unique lighting and creative subjects to accomplish this look.
My But is Art
- Take pictures in different places

- Photography more include drawing
- Chocolate moving expresses skin
- Memorable sugar
- Fire light before in more laces
- Time remembered because of distant symbols
- Chocolate Japan
- Location shown are taken sitting
- People Japan
- Show only their belly
- Pretty living
Annie Leibovitz
Yeah so you probably know Annie Leibovitz mostly from the work she does with Vanity Fair, Vogue, and Rolling Stone Mag. She creates these elaborate scenes and places the celebrity of the moment in the photograph. In her early work up until the early 90s her work was considered controversial. What I love about Annie Leibovitz is that she isn't afraid to go there in her work and to make her subjects vulnerable to the extent where we see a different side of a celebrity or whoever she is photographing. She also has the ability to meticulously plan every detail of what she wants a photograph to look like, bringing the idea from her head to camera, instead of the snapshot approach. It's like okay we are going to create an image of you standing in a sweatshop with an avant garde gown while smoking a cig...okay ready go...
