- colour in his images is phenomenal
- many of his works were about the amount of light and colour
- using a large camera, he doesn't leave anything out!
- his photographs were used as a way to express the relationship between us and the landscape
richard avedon
- 8 x 10 self portrait series
- made name as fashion photographer
- sometimes made frame to hold negative bigger on purpose to show full image and to prove that nothing has been cropped out, nothing edited!
- this creates a border that sometimes acts like a frame
- spent time travelling in the west (corrrection?) taking photos of 'strange' people
- amount of details is amazing and mind blowing
- in 70's, 80's sometimes, colour photography wasn't the best idea or way to display something
gregory crendson
- controversial
- creates stories for his work and creates stories within his work
- creates work like a film, figures out lighting, space, hires extras and then captures the scene after much time of planning and setting up
- nothing is left out, what ever is there at the time gets put into the photograph
andreas gursky
- contemporary
- some of his work is lost in translation
- manipulates photos in photoshop to create the uber(spelling?) real and perfect!
- shoots from a great height
- photographed anything from supermarkets to race tracks
jan groover
- kitchen series - photographed things in her own kitchen
- detail was very high, used large camera to photograph everyday things, like her kitchen sink
