Granville Carroll:

His photos are intriguing, as they incorporate different elements, shapes, figures to grab the viewers attention. My favorite work is his “Reflection of The Self” collection, it includes multiply eye-catching photos, with good editing. His website is also impressive, as it’s easy to find all his work and projects he is working on. His site also includes information about him, and his experience and education as a photographer.

Alex Tuner:

His photos are eye catching and trying to figure the story behind the image is always interesting. His “Blind River” work is one of my favorites. It tells multiply stories and allows for the viewer to try to understand the situation that’s occurring in the image. His website is also very easy to navigate through.

Photography is a way to express yourself creativity. With the art of photography you could create amazing and creative images that’ll grab the attention of millions. Photography is a way to show your ideas and how you see the world, and different perspectives. The dozens of types of photography allow anyone to find what photography they are passionate about.

Photography is great for expressing someone’s creative side, but its also important for catching memories and historical moments. Taking a photo allows you to capture any moment and immortalize that image. These moments are usually moments you want to remember, moments that bring happy and joyous feelings. Photography is also important for capturing historic moments. They gives us an insight into past times, allowing people to see how the world has changed for the better and the worst.

Why is Photography so important?

The way that there are a sequence of lines that are doing there own thing like a group of them & another doing their own thing as well all incorporated in one painting seems very interesting to me, gives me matrix vibes. He added a variety of shapes in this painting and it really grabbed my attention.

The photographer Harold Edgerton, got great timing on his photograph. I’m not sure whether or not his intention was to capture this exact image or not but either way he did a great job on photographing the moment. Another compositional feature that I noticed right away was the color contrast. The white milk droplet with the red and black background really made the milk pop. Also the red looks so clean and sleek that the audience can see the glare of the milk off of the red surface.

The lighting is perfect, even though from what I had read was that this was shot in a very dark room and he had to use multiple light sources to light up his subject. He learned to how to have the shutter and the flash go off at the same exact time which was a great improvement for photography at the time. This allowed him to also have other great pieces that involved the incredible timing. I believe that since this was shot in the 1950’s the picture was way ahead of its time because of its quality and composition. Overall the work of Harold Edgerton is interesting to look at because of his amazing timing and compositional features.

Peter Tellone, Landscape Photographer

Peter Tellone is a photographer whose photos emphasize the effect of light and perspective on an environment. His landscape locations vary from the ocean to the vast desolate deserts around California. Peter believes that landscape photography is much slower and mainly focuses on composition, perspective, and timing. Landscape photography is about catching the environment in the best conditions possible. This includes having intriguing composition to gain the attention of the viewer, taking the photo at the correct time of day, and using perspective to add depth to your photo. Peter Telline does this really well as his photos are always interesting and beautiful to look at. He’s able to place the elements given to him to create an aesthetic composition.

This work done by Ray Smith, is very interesting and intriguing to observe. The name of the piece caught my attention, as its title is very different from what I’ve seen from other pieces. The painting itself is intriguing, I’m really intrigued at the face especially, due to the chicken beak. I feel like anyone who looks at this will see something different.

A photowalk is a great idea as well. You are staying active, meeting new people, and getting different perspective of the world in the meantime. I have already done this plenty of times. Before I go shoot or when I have any free time I browse through different blogs and photo sites. Each time I see something new, and it opens me up to new ideas/ inspirations. Another great method to jump start one’s photography is doing a photo a day project. Even if it’s just a photo a week as long as they are consistent.
