Found Film

After casting aside some overly ambitious ideas I decided to go ahead and try printing some photos. This photo is still in progress and I'm pretty much making it up as I go. I started by tracing the trees in sharpie and then proceeded to color the ground using oils and color pencils.

Final Book with Images

Andy Warhol

These pictures would fall under the "making the ordinary extraordinary" category. I think that if Andy Warhol were alive today these works would pretty much be the same because the subjects are fairly timeless. He might do them with succulents and aquariums and possibly technology such as a laptop and a smart phone.

Final Portfolio

Artist Statement: Towards the end of this year I began to focus more on shape with my work and with this I started to use lots of contrast in my photos. I was drawn to two extremes with a lot of my work: the texture of very natural elements and the grittiness of the city. This year I have found that I most enjoy digital and alternative process work because of the flexibility and possibility of digital and the combination of simple shapes and natural items that goes so well with cyanotypes and anthotypes.

Annie Leibovitz

Annie Leibovitz was born October 2, 1949. She studied painting at the San Francisco Art Institute and started her career as a photographer for Rolling Stones magazine. She switched back and forth between commercial and fine art work and left Rolling Stones for Vanity Fair. Annie Leibovitz is famous for photographing celebrities and for her meticulously staged fashion shots. Some of her most iconic portraits included Yoko Ono and John Lennon, the Rolling Stones, and Demi Moore.

Henri Cartier Bresson

Henri Cartier Bresson

INDIA. Punjab. Kurukshetra. A refugee camp for 300.000 people. Autumn 1947.

Henri Cartier Bresson was born in August 22, 1908 and died in August 3, 2004. he was a French photographer who developed candid photography, street photography, and spread the use of 35 mm film. His concept of the decisive moment was instrumental in his work. I liked this photo because of how surreal it looks and the different shapes and textures presented by the cloth and trees.

Alfred Stieglitz

Spring Showers

Alfred Stieglitz

Alfred Stieglitz was born in Hoboken, New Jersey in 1864. After studying engineering in Germany Stieglitz returned to New York in 1890 to pursuit photography. Stieglitz was determined to show that photography had as much artistic potential as other more traditional mediums such as painting and sculpture. To achieve this he focused on the craftsmanship of his prints and used natural elements such as rain and fog in his photos to unify them aesthetically. I chose Spring Rain because it is emblematic of Stieglitz's technique and because of the slight sense of crookedness and the unusual shape.

Photo that can change the world

This very recent photo was the first one I thought of that had a huge affect on the world. Lacking artistic elements it is the message that this photo showed the world that made it so iconic and helped increase response to the refugee crisis. This photo is very similar in effect as the one of the Afghan girl taken by Steven McCurry and featured on National Geographic's most successful issue.

Margaret Bourke-White

Margaret Bourke-White

Margaret Bourke-White was an early photo journalist who took many historically and artistically  significant photos around the world. She was born in 1904 and died in 1971 from Parkinson's Disease. I chose this photo because of the historical significance of the campaigns of women working in the fields as well as the shapes created by the rakes and hay.

Sergio Larrain

I believe the photographer took the meter reading on the sign so as to have a good range of grays while having the silhouette of the man and the foggy effect of the light. If the reading had been taken on the man he would have appeared lighter and with more detail and the rest of the image would have become more blown out around him.
