Color and Light

 


Nan Goldin

Color and Light

October 4th

    Nan Goldin was a photographer of many different talents and her photos had many different and deep meanings behind them. When we were looking at the slide show in class I really liked the picture of her and that man that did not look very happy at all. Just from knowing many people who have been in horrible relationships, that picture spoke to me. I love knowing why someone wants to take pictures because they are putting awareness out there even sometimes if they don't realize they are. 

    I like her work because of the aspects of Color and Light she adds into her pictures and of the meaning's behind the colors that she uses in those pictures. Nan Goldin was very impressive with really getting the message across in a lot of photos. I liked the two we looked at in class and I will put them below because of the color in the picture. She used lighter color of the picture of her and a man and then a very blue color in the self portrait.

  Still Life Krista has a very unique style for still-life photography with the colors she uses in the photos to be able to express ideas in the photos. She shoots a lot of foods and has layered aspects in the photos. She has unique ideas in her photos. I inserted a photo below to describe why this still life has attracted me. This photo is unique because of the colors in this still-life photo. It makes me wonder how she didn't have too much flash in the mirrors if she used gels or a purple background. I would like to mimic this weird style because it's an interesting photo to look at. Krista has many more unique photos that fit into this style because she is always about color and what will attract people to like her photos and want more.

Arnold Newman

  Arnold Newman  Arnold Newman's photography style appeals to me because of the lighting and the facial expressions in the photos that have been the most popular with his work. After exploring some of the photos this is the photo that caught my attention because they remind me of my style of photo taking.  I love this photo because I love the way you can interpret this in many different ways. I have an attachment to looking at photos of humans with emotions because I have struggled with different things that have happened in my life so being able to see pictures or even take pictures of human emotions to display what I feel in pictures is a good way for me to deal with many of my battles.  I know this picture was probably not probably not supposed to be interpreted the way I interpreted it but I think it is important to see how every human is different in how they perceive things.  I will be mirroring Arnold Newman's style for this upcoming project.

  Sebastian Salgado  Sebastian Salgado is a Brazilian photographer who focuses on images that portray humans in desperate economic situations. Sebastians work shows what it is like and have a stronger understanding of social and economic situations in the world.  After exploring his work I found this image I really like. This image is abandoned babies and it is very prevalent in society today because many children are orphan in the world and many that need homes and families to love them. Sebastian bring light to these matters and shows the world what is happening because we need to bring more awareness.
