__Diane Arbus__ [|__https://fraenkelgallery.com/exhibitions/category/arbus-diane__]

Diane Arbus was able to see beauty in the strange things within this world. She was able to photograph rare and interesting people and make art out of them. Arbus’ raw and unique photographs are what helped her become a well known photographer. Diane Arbus is able to inspire me because she is an artist that stands out amongst the rest; she would be able to make the most abstract thing into a beautiful photograph.

__Lewis Hine__ [|__http://www.howardgreenberg.com/artists/lewis-hine?view=slider#6__]

Lewis Hine had felt strongly about the abuse of children and children working hard labor. He had quit his job as a teacher to travel around the world and take pictures of working children. Hine was very passionate about his work and what he was photographing. He inspires me because I want my photographs to have as much emotion in them as Hine’s has in his. Expressions are important in a photograph, so if I were to do a portrait for my final, I would want to focus on expressions more.

__Paul Caponigro__

Paul Caponigro has incredibly interesting photographs and style of photography. His work included a lot of nature/landscape images, and he includes floating rocks or lines in the sand in many of his works. Caponigro has inspired me because he has a unique twist to his works; he is able to create visually attractive mystical or abstract photographs.

For this unit, I really wanted to experiment with unique and abstract ideas. My focus for this project will be nature and the blooming of flowers. I want to take pictures of real life nature and then put a strange twist on them like Paul Caponigro has done in his work. Using photoshop I will be able to enhance my images and edit them to make them abstract. I will focus on the art element of color because I not only want the images to look abstract but also have bright colors to them. The art principle that I will focus on is emphasis; I want there to be a focus and main point to my photographs that draws everyone's attention.
