Lee Friedlander- http://fraenkelgallery.com/artists/lee-friedlander Arnold Newman- http://www.arnoldnewmanarchive.com/content/portraits-0 Andre Kertesz- http://www.atgetphotography.com/The-Photographers/Andre-Kertesz.html  I looked through the list and description of each artist and then looked up galleries of the artists that I thought were the most interesting. The three that I thought were the most inspiring were Lee Friedlander, Arnold Newman, and Andre Kertesz. I really loved Lee Friedlander's photo of the tree almost touching the earth. This photo reminded me of a globe the way that the space between the ground and the branches spreads throughout the entire photo. I was really interested in how the black and white made the photo almost mirrored in a way. The tree is bending the shape of the earth and I really love the movement in this piece. My favorite photo from Arnold Newman was a bright photo with a man leaning up against this structure. I almost made me feel like the artist was trying to incorporate part of the subjects personality, but the man looks sort of mysterious and the colors and lettering that you can't really read makes you think about what is in the background. I also really love the colors of this photo. They are very bright and definitely incorporate leading lines with all the different sun streaks. Lastly, The photo by Andre Kertesz was very different from the other photos in how he decided to create it. I really liked how he photographed areas of the city where there is tragedy and hard times. This photo is of what looks like a bullet shot through a window. He took a photo through this window and looking out at what is beyond. I really was inspired by this piece because he created a new way of looking at things. He could have just took a photo of the window and the hole from the outside, but that would not have made as much of an impact. I will be taking many different photos that define my friendship with my best friend and combining all of them together to make a collage. I will be trying different techniques with changing aperture and coloring with the different photos. The principle of design that I am going to use is Emphasis. I will be literally emphasizing my relationship with my best friend/soul sister, Gabrielle. Since we are both graduating this year and going off to different schools, I want to make sure I remember all my favorites parts of high school with her and give it to her as a gift. I want to take a bunch of photos of me and Gab doing different things that define our stupid, hilarious friendship. I will be using old photos as well as taking new ones and collaging them together and then taking one of the photos and putting it in the background so that you can barely see it showing through. I will be editing all the photos using photoshop.
