This photo was taken by Richard Avedon, he used a Deardorff camera with 8x10 inches of film. I really admire his work because I like the use of black and white as well as the lighting and his use of clothing in his time period. He is known for shooting in Vogue and other fashion magazines as well as his minimalist photography. This is one of his many photo's used in fashion, the focal point of her hair as well as the angle her body is at makes this a very interesting image.

This was a photo taken by Annie Leibovitz, she used a RZ67 digital camera; she is known for taking portraits of celebrities and shooting high fashion. I like this picture because the use of color in the subjects clothing pops against the background also the color of her skin and hair really portrays what the photographer is trying to get across. I feel that the facial expression and the placement of the subjects hands shows sadness or depth but also beauty which is something I would like to do in my own photos.

This image was taken by Andre Kertesz he was most known for using Polaroids to develop his pictures, his use of black and white photography is very beautiful because while these images may seem ordinary he has the ability to make them intriguing and interesting to the eye which is what I hope to do as well. The clothing and furniture used in his time period also played a large role in his photos. []

This image was taken by Eugene Atget who often used a simple 18x24 cm view camera which did not have any of the present day effects and extras. His main place of interest was in Paris with the Luxembourg Gardens, small cafes, and many scenic areas for beautiful photography. This particular image I thought was very interesting because black and white I feel adds more depth to the picture and the way he angled the horses and captured details in the carousel made it very appealing to the eye.

Alec Soth is a modern photographer, his main focus is doing portraits of people. He uses newer equipment such as professional color negative film. His use of color and style choice for each particular person makes his art very interesting, also the backgrounds he chooses are fitting. In this picture I like how he used wind and a particular style of clothing to create a unique image which is what I aspire to do.

This image was taken by Martin Parr, a modern artist who lives in Britain. His main use of equipment is a Nikon 35 mm camera which is known to be a highly rated brand. This photo seems to capture the human essence and is very interesting to look at, with all of the colors, people, etc. His ability to capture what people are doing when they don't know they are being captured by a photographer is fascinating to me and is something I would like to try in the future.
