Masters+Photo_weisensel



The first artist that I looked at was Arnold Newman. I was thinking of doing a series of portraits but he makes them unique. He takes what the person likes to do and he makes that a big part of the photo. The next artist that I looked at was Imogen Cunningham. He took a lot of pictures of flowers and also people that look like they're going about their days. The last artist I have chosen was Richard Avedon. He takes a lot of ordinary portraits that you can feel the personality through. I'm going to make a series of prints and I'm not going to do a lot of editing most of the work that I'm going to do is finding the pictures or taking the pictures. Other artists i looked at was Joyce Tenneson, William Eggelston, and Catherine Opie. I'm going to do a series of photos. I want to take pictures of the same person over time and how they have changed and grown in to the person that they are today. I also thought about taking pictures of memorable moments and life changing moments.. I also thought about taking pictures of my little sister and putting words in the background that described her experience. One of the principles of design that I want to focus on is unity and movement. With my idea I think everything needs to be well blended together and able to make your eye flow through the piece. This would mean a lot to me because it affected me a lot and it took a lot to get through that tough time of when my sister was in the hospital. The links where I found my photos for the banner are below.
