Quartaroli-Masters

Annie Leibovits: Annie Leibovits used emphisis to create drama, so that the viewers will notice the tree. Then later their eyes will move out into the corner where they will find something that almost looks like a castle. Annie used film to create this photograph. I really like how at first you only see the tree that is all alone in the middle, then you notice some other trees in the background. After you take in all of the trees then you notice the castle in the background. I really want to master how she captured two concepts in one photograph and the real one is hidden.

Henri Cartier Bresson: Henri Cartier-Bresson is widely recognized as one of the greatest photographers of the Twentieth Century. He focused on the stairs to make them not blurry, then he unfocused the bicycalist to make it seem like he was in motion. Henri used film to create this photograph. I really like how the background seems to be in motion were as the forground seems perfectly still and focused. http://www.time.com/time/photogallery/0,29307,1983868_2128603,00.html

Edward Weston:

Edward Weston is a classic photographer, he photographed the California coast, peppers, and the nude. He also had two sons who worked in black and white photography. This particular piece is a black and white negative. It is hard to tell what this is actually a photograph of but the title is Iceberg Lake, so I am assuming that it is a negative of a frozen over lake. Edward used balance to make both sides-- top and bottom-- balanced without being identical.

Jeff Jacobson: Jeff Jacobson is not a classic photographer, instead he used color and photoshop, and layering techniques to create unique images such as this. This image really me because I really like eyes, I also like how a barcode is being used as a sort of eyelashes. It gives it a message like people try to buy your soul because eyes are said to be the window to the soul. I also like how it is zoomed in really far on his face to create emphasis and drama.

Sophie Calle: Sophie Calle os considered modern although she works in black and white, as well as film. She is extremely influenced by movies. Like Jeff Jacobson she uses unique layering techniques to have the words on the girls chest. I really like black and white photography so that is why I chose her as one of my photographers. I think that although black and white is not unique, in this sense it is because as a modern photographer most people use color and she decided to use black and white.

William Eggelston: One of the most influential American artists, William Eggleston changed the history of color photography. In this particular photograph I don't really know why but I really like how the foreground is focused and the background is unfocused I really want to learn how to use emphasis like this to make my pieces more dramatic.
