Hanna

Yes, yes, I know this is a photography class, but you must see this movie. The cinematography, & editing alone are of an aesthetic I don't often see, particularly in more mainstream movies. This aesthetic captured my attention from the minute the movie started. For lack of a better word at the moment, it was beautiful. The score is a plus too & fits perfectly with the film in every way. Everything was very cohesive.

Saw this on msn.com and thought it was pretty cool.....

Claire Sloan

As I was looking for inspiration for this assignment I came across Claire Sloan's photo series called sleep for days. I fell in love with them, and they have really inspired me to try something like this for our assignment. Hopefully they inspire you too :) Check out her website!!

Ed van der Elsken

He did mostly black and white, but a little bit of color. All of which are fascinating.

You can google his name and get an amazing array of images, or here is a site dedicated to his work.

Inspiration

Here is a website that might help with some inspiration for night photography that I came across.

James Welling

James Welling, born in 1951 and raised in Hartford, Connecticut, employs a variety of photography techniques to create his images. He experiments with shutterless cameras, polaroids, large format view cameras, and digital techniques, to create artwork that tests the boundaries of photography technically and conceptually. The above images are from his "Glass House" series from 2006, which was commissioned by New York Magazine for an article about Phillip Johnson. They were created by using a variety of color filters and manipulated plexiglass in order to create the effects seen in the photographs.

Long Exposure Description

If you don't have much experience doing long exposures, this photographer's site may be of some help. click HERE

Jason Travis - Persona

This is an Atlanta based photographer I came across on Flickr and a series of diptychs he did juxtaposing a person to their day to day items.

Blog

people talk about the worlds smallest violin but what about the worlds smallest camera?

I feel like he needs a hug.

The Power of Paper and Glue

I found this interesting, check it out.

JR, a French street artist, uses his camera to show the world its true face. He makes his audacious TED Prize wish: to use art to turn the world inside out. A funny, moving talk about art and who we are. Learn more at insideoutproject.net.

Portrait lighting

Here is a link that gives some examples of different types of lighting.. the model isn't the prettiest but she will do! haha. Also, do anyone know anything about this assignment other than its using artificial lighting?

Click MEEEE!

Portraits

I thought this was interesting photo of a form of manufactured landscape. An artist created this on the salt lake in Utah.

Muzi Quawson

I recently discovered this London-based photographer. The rawness of her photos inspires me. They each have deeper messages and aren't your typical photo. I am simply in love with her work!

Trevor Hart

As I was researching photographers for our most recent assignment I came across some photos by Trevor Hart, who I had never heard of before. I thought I would share a few with you for inspiration for this assignment. Enjoy :)

Joel Sternfeld

Some of you may already be familiar with these because we watched a video in Laurie's class about Joel Sternfeld. I thought it would be appropriate to look at him in this class for the landscape project. He took photographs on top of an old elevated train rail in Manhattan. The photographs are surreal. I would recommend looking at all of his work.

Long lost Color Prints

So here are the prints that I would have had for the color critique... Comments and crit are welcome.

Shot with: Fujicolor Superia 400 film

Processed with: ACR and PS

Waste Land

I recently came upon this documentary, called Waste Land, about this artist, Vik Muniz (I don't know if anyone has heard of him or this documentary), and I thought that it looks interesting and somewhat relevant to our current project...
Here is a trailer for it (it can describe his work and what the documentary is about better than I can):

Rob Sheridan

I am a big fan of Rob Sheridan for multiple reasons, his photography being one of those reasons. Seeing some of the photos in class today, I was reminded of some of his work, which you guys can check out HERE. There are quite a few more traditional landscapes, as well as altered and cityscapes. So yeah, just another source some of you might want to look at. (His main website with more commercial photos can be accessed by clicking "Portfolio" at the top, then "Photography" on the left.)

Table For One.

Photographer, Artist, and Skateboarder, Jerry Hsu has a blog called Table for one. He basically takes a picture every time he sees someone dining alone. Have a look!

just thought this was a cool picture....

ColorMount

I spent $17.62 on a pack of dry mount tissue and don't need it. If you want to buy it from me let me know. 25 sheets of 8" x 10".

Summertime in Boise

Reminder

Assignment is due next class.
