Gregory Crewdson (Dakota Johnston)
 Gregory Crewdson is best known for elaborately staged, surreal scenes of American homes and neighborhoods. In this scene of a mother and her son at the dinning room table getting ready to eat, but there is an empty place at the end of the table where the father is supposed to be sitting. Some people can really relate to what is going on in this picture, which i think makes it an interesting picture.

Taryn Simon's most recent work is //An American Index of the Hidden and Unfamiliar,// and //Innocents// is her other collection. Her photographs capture the secret and austere areas in the world, like research facilities and hidden government offices; their explanations clear up the questions readers would have at first glance of these photographs. **
 * TARYN SIMON (Naomi Sime)


This photographer took pictures of whole areas, not close ups. He tries to capture more of what goes on in an area by bringing all of it to your attention with one single photograph. Andreas Gursky (Kelsey Jannsen)

While he would sometimes take pictures of random people, he would also plan and stage his own shots that were meant to be spontaneous moments of a person's everyday life.

This picture shows the sky which is part of the natural world and in my opinion can be one of the most beautiful parts of this world.

Mary Ellen Mark (Julia Alberti)


This picture was taken by __Mary Ellen Mark__. She has taken many photos of celebrities and most of her photographs are in black and white. She did a nice job with balance with the person on one side of the frame and the steps and building on the other. I really liked how she made the person dark and everything around him a gray or while. It makes the viewer drawn into the photo.

Abelardo Morell (Julia Alberti)
This photograph was taken by __Abelardo Morell__ in 1991. He took most of his photos using Digital photography. This photo fills the frame and you can see everything that is blurred around the glasses are much clearer through the glasses. i liked how the glasses are in focus and everything around them is blurred. It makes you think that everything is clearer through someone else's eyes.

He's photography is known to be provocative yet gives new and different prespectives of many of the most prominent women of our time. He really understands lighting.
