PROJ. #9: LOOK TO A MASTER

1. A photographer from the 1800's.:
Eugène Atget: Is easily one of my favorite photographers. His images below are all from around the time era of the 1890's. The images that he takes look so beautifully simplistic, but the story behind them makes me curious. They have a good underlying structure and they show France in the 1800's.

2. A photographer from 1900-1950.
Bill Brandt: I enjoy looking at his photos because he captures this essence of emotion in the world around him through the ways he took the photos. The underlying tone is shown through the location and the faces show the emotion that was being felt at the time they were taken.
(Doing the Lambeth Walk. 1936)
(Window In Osborn Street. 1931)

3. A photographer from 1951-1990
Lillian Bassman. I love her work because she captures elegance and fashion all in one. To me shes like the Audrey Hepburn of photography. I love her work because you not only see the lights and the darks she uses to emphasize the clothing the people are wearing, but she also makes the image so they are beautiful not only because of the clothes or the person wearing them, the overall essencse gives off an amazing sense of elegance.

5. A photographer from 2001-present
Jamie Dauenhauer-Summers
I love her work because shes my biggest inspiration, and first got me interested in photography. I like the ways that she places her subject, and objects within it. As well as the meaning behind the photos.
