Abelardo Morell




I chose Abe Morell as my artist because of the form of photography he likes to do. He uses a technique called camera obscura, which is taking a light proof structure and in some way making a small pin hole to let light in. The result is an inverted image of the outside world. I like his usage of this technique because of the many various landscapes he was able to capture while also making use of inside furniture to aid in composition. He even created a way to take this technique outside in a tent and project onto the ground adding various real life textures textures to the photos.
