Annie Leibovitz took this photo of Martina Navratilova. She used the techniques of film and in black-and-white. This photograph illustrates the elements and principles of art/design through the idea of contrast. The lights and darks of the lady as well at the machinery behind her really catch your eye due to the contrast between the two. I love this image because of the strong contrast/balance between the lady and the machinery. Also because the pose that she is in is very intriguing. This photo will influence my own photographic work to capture photographs with high contrast and possibly different poses.

Imogen Cunningham took this photo. She used the techniques of Polaroid film. This photograph illustrates the elements and principles of art/design through the ideas of contrast and texture. The darks of the flower really contrast with the light background and the lightness in the stems. This image caught my eye due to the high contrast and cool texture on the stems. I would like to have this photo influence me to take photographs with cool textures to enhance them.

Ruth Bernhard

Ruth Bernhard took this photo. She used the technique of film. This photograph illustrates the elements and principles of art/design through the ideas of movement and emphasis. The movement of the rain drops on the glass creates a some what fog but there is a big emphasis on the her hands. This photo really interests me because it isn't clear. It is very foggy and almost dull but your eye goes straight to her hands. This photo will influence me to take photographs with unique movement and maybe some that aren't crystal clear.

Frans Lanting took this photo. He used the technique of mixing natural and natural light to create beautiful animal digital photography. This photograph illustrates the elements and principles of art/design through the ideas of color, shape, value and emphasis. The bright pop colors of the lizard and the sky really make a big emphasis to them. This photo will influence me to take photographs with pop colors and some nature shots.

Thomas Struth took this photo. He used a technique of lighting and color while using digital photography. This photograph illustrates the elements and principles of art/design through the ideas of value, texture, movement and color. The awesome texture of the buildings really stand out. The movement of the people walking down the street really makes the photograph interesting. This photo will influence me to take action shots.

Sandy Skoglund took this photo. She used digital photography. This photograph illustrates the elements and principles of art/design through the ideas of value, texture and movement. This photograph is awesome considering the fact that she used Cheetos to portray a very neat texture. Since most of the photo is orange, she had a lot of value that really made things stand out of go into the background. This photograph will influence me to try taking pictures with weird media in them.
