Favorite Fashion Photographers

Arnaud Pyvka's work has grace, whimsicality, and softness, which is sometimes harder to achieve than a bright, in-your-face shot. He uses soft tints and shallow depth of field to create evocative fashion photography. I like his photography because it has an interesting contrast of colors. 



Horst Diekgerdes shoots for Elle, Numero, Harper's Bazaar, Another Man, Sonia Rykiel, H&M, and Uniqlo, always creating mysterious fairytale-like scenes that seem to have a dark side. As a masterful storyteller, he uses soft light and interesting outdoor and indoor locations. I like his photography because it is unique and you don't see much fairy-tale like pictures anywhere else.



Like his father, Patrick Demarchelier, Victor Demarchelier took up photography, and it seems he inherited the fashion photography genes. His work uses simple concepts to make big statements. He shoots for a variety of major magazines and has established himself as separate from, albeit still a descendant of, one of the greatest fashion photographers to ever live. I like how he uses black and white rather than color.

Photojournalists: Kevin Carter

Kevin Carter is a very famous photojournalist. His job was to capture pictures all around the world. This is one of his photos, which also brought up a big debate. Many people questioned why he would take a picture of this instead of helping the boy. Some also argue that he is just doing his job. I believe that to a certain extent, artwork like this may be acceptable.


Some other disturbing photojournalist photos include recent events, such as the Boston Bombing.

The Boston Bombings were absolutely awful. I can't even imagine why or how people can do this to one another. My heart goes out to everyone affected by the bombs.

Sports 4/15/13

My top three favorite sports is volleyball, cross country, and hockey.

The photographer can capture action and movement by using a certain setting on the camera. The photographer may want to catch the shot at a different angle rather than taking the picture straight on.

I think Emily Picket's Prezi Project is the best. I like the photos that she used in the project. She had a really good way of explaining things. Also, she had a lot of facts and information explaining each picture. I like the font and colors that she used on her project.
