Zhang has worked with big companies all over the world. Her work caught my eye because it is dark and mysterious while on the other hand her work can be professional. She has a good eye for lighting and placement of her subjects.

SO glad I stumbled upon this artist. I've always thought that the effects that colors have on people's moods are amazing. How not only can different colors make us feel a certain way, but when placing certain colors with others can create an even much more diverse array of feelings. This artist explores the psychological effect that color has on people. She is truely talented.

Samuel James

 

 

 

This artist is truely amazing. He not only takes this photos for his own benefit, but to also make awareness of life in Nigeria. He is able to show the daily struggle of the lives of these people, especially for the gain of oil for others all around the world.

The picture of the little boy was what really got to me. You can see that he is malnourished, and the struggle in his facial expression. When people think of starving kids around the world, I don't think they realise how hard these kids pitch in just to help sustain the community. It shows how much we truely take for granted.

Multiples

For my first attempt at this project, I chose to portray "procrastination", something I'm sure we can all relate to. 

Noah Grey

This is a cool guy to check out because he has not only photography, but does a lot of painting as well. Good artist to check out for inspiration or a push for new ideas of what to do with your own art.

Annie Leibovitz

 

I had never heard of Annie Leibovitz before we watched the movie in class. I found her so inspiring. The vibe that she gave off was so pure, like she was doing everything she was meant to. She wasn't saying or acting or taking pictures of what she thought others wanted her to. I'm not a huge Beatles fan, but after seeing this photo and hearing the story behind it, I was blown away. Just added to my thought of Annie doing what she was meant to be doing in life.

Vivian Maier

This is a photographer who passed away in 2009 but whom captured some amazing stories of the world in black and white. She was a nanny who had lived in France and New York. Her photography is candid, black and white, and captured the "hussle and bussle" of rural and urban lives of this time period. Check her out!

Being "Based"

Lil B is a rapper, whom I've never actually listened to. I was hanging out with a couple of friends when I noticed them all call each other "based" or joking around saying that they were, "fake based". So finally, I asked what the hell was going on! My friend let me borrow this book, which when I glanced at it, thought, "this is something I will just be laughing at later on." When I finally started flipping through it, I realised that this rapper might actually be onto something good. 

Based:

"Based means being yourself. Not being scared of what people think about you. Not being afraid to do what you wanna do. Being positive. When I was younger, based was a negative term that meant like dopehead, or basehead. People used to make fun of me. They was like, 'You're based.'
They'd use it as a negative. And what I did was turn that negative into a positive. I started embracing it like, 'Yeah, I'm based.' I made it
mine. I embedded it in my head. Based is positive." - Lil B

David Kingham

This is a photographer I found on Flikr. Anyone can take pictures of the outdoors, but I feel like David has a way of pulling the viewer in deeper. He always seem to find a great focal point for the picture, whether it be an actual object or his way with catching the perfect lighting. Check him out!
