This photograph was done by Lee Friedlander and he used a Leica Digital Rangefinder camera to take it. This picture illustrates the elements and principles of design by using emphasis and contrast. Emphasis is used because right when you look at the photo, your eyes directly look to the mannequin. It is the main point of interest and really captures and takes over the whole picture, even with the beautiful city of New York as the background reflection. This picture also uses contrast with the black and white truly contrasting on the left side of the screen. I really admire this piece, and the first time I saw it I was amazed. You can't even tell that this a mannequin with the buildings being reflections, it seems like this is just a real women in the city. It looks like if you are the mannequin in a store display and a women is admiring you and the merchandise you have on. This could influence my work to make me try and trick the viewer's eye in my photographs because I truly enjoyed trying to figure this piece out.

This photograph was done by Ansel Adams and he used a 4x5 view camera. This picture illustrates the elements and principles of design by using repetition, and contrast. Repetition is shown when your eyes travel farther down the road and you see how the lines continue to be the same along the street, and also with the many clouds floating in the sky that almost seem to be the same shape. Contrast is used with the whole color scheme being black and white throughout the whole photograph. This photo is very beautiful and it really makes you appericate the beauty of nature and how even the most simple things (such as a road) can pass you by on a normal day. But then when you look at those things in a photo, they come to life and make you really appericate all the world has to offer us. This photo will inspire my work in the sense that I will try to get the beauty of the simple things in life in my pictures to try and make other people apperciate things they never thought they would.

This photograph was done by Jerry Uelsmann and he used film to create this photograph. This picture illustrates the elements and principles of design by using pattern, balance and emphasis. It uses pattern in the tattoos and in using the same hand all the way around the center.Balance was used because if you draw a line straight down the middle to cut this piece in half, it would b equal on both sides. Lastly, emphasis was used so that when you look at this picture, your focus goes directly towards the eye staring at you in the center. This photo was very cool because you could tell it was developed in the dark room and it must have taken a lot of hard work and patience to complete it. This work could influence my own in the sense that I know how much time and patience it could take to get just the photo you were hoping for.

This photograph was done by Galen Rowell and he used a digital technique to create this photograph. This picture illustrates the elements and principles of design by using emphasis, and rhythm throughout the piece. Emphasis is used because when you first look at the picture, your eyes move straight towards the wolf and everything else is blurred out. Rhythm was used in the sense that everything in this photo just really does flow together well in harmony. I really liked this photo because it just looked like it was so neatly done, and it gave you the idea of what nature all around us could look like if we stop, took a second and looked. It inspired me in the way that I will want my photos to look very sharp and clean, and to really make people appreciate nature.

This photograph was done by Annie Leibovitz and she used a digital technique to create this photograph. This photo illustrates the elements of principles of design by using color and texture. All the colors used are absolutely stunning to look at and make you really have to look to appreciate what things are, and the textures are just incredible; each little detail of the scales, the coral, the fish, and everything else just look amazing. This photograph made you feel like you were in another world and that even the most absurd things could maybe come into our world at some point. I really appreciated the detail that was but into this piece and it will motivate me to try and recreate things in a totally original way in my own art.

This photograph was done by Sandy Skoglund and she used a digital technique to create this photograph. This photo illustrates the elements and principles of design by using color and pattern. All the butterflies on the wall and the jellybeans on the person show pattern because each object has the same shape and some of the same colors and textures as the other ones. Color really takes place throughout the entire photo through the jellybeans and the butterflies. They are all very eye popping and make you want to stare at this piece for hours on end. This photo is a little odd because there is a person covered in jellybeans and his head is on backwards, and on top of that, there are numerous butterflies on the wall in front of him for unknown reasons. I enjoyed this photo because it really kept you thinking about why all these things were in the photo and how they all could come together to make something beautiful. This piece will influence my work to be more out there and to do something out of the ordinary every once in a while.
