Bob Demchuk

Award winning motion picture director and still photographer for the past 35 years, Bob Demchuk has photographed throughout the world.  He has a wide range of knowledge and experience from covering the Vietnam War, to producing and/or directing over 500 projects.  I love his work of the Pokot women. In their society, the Pokot women has no voice in any public forum and no authority within her own homestead. She is considered "foolish," like the cows for which she is traded. She is dresses in a cowhide and is valued at 60 cows which is equivalent to $3,600.

Daniel Byrne --------------- Christine Barron

This is the photographer that sold me expired film and said it would be fine but my pics did not come out, but I still love his work. He does a lot of car photography and portraits.

Eirik Johnson

 

Borderlands

Eirik Johnson states that his "artistic practice primarily an openness to serendipitous encounters while wandering the landscape. The work occasionally incorporates physical interventions that mark the relationship between my own presence and natural process" The thing that grabs me in these photos is how the actual landscape sets a certain mood. The way that the photo is composed, the lighting, and the subject all feed into a certain feeling.

Andrew Z Glickman

 

Andrew Z. Glickman is a contemporary photographer working in Maryland. He is mostly a street photographer so with this project Among Strangers Underground: Commuters on the Washington DC Metro, he took those ideas onto a commuter train. He took a job in D.C. that was 40 minutes away and made a promise to shoot everyday on his commute, documenting certain small moments in these people's lives. I think the idea itself is a bit boring and doesn't really grab me but his composition is similar to mine, especially in my final shot. The way he frames the subject in the center in a very dramatic way is something I've always liked.

ALBERTO TOLOT

There is not much information on the artist Alberto Tolot, however i love how the images above are obviously flowers, but how he crops each shot to make the object an abstract form intrigues me.  There is no distracting colors, but just the purity of the flower.  The line forms are exquisite.  He has other projects of which he does commercial portraits, which are also awesome.  However for me these are very appealing.

David Muench

David Muench is a nature/landscape photographer. He has a beautiful use of color of all his photographs. He takes his pictures all across the US of the landscapes mostly in the western areas. His father was also a photographer, Josef Muench, so David traveled with his dad when he was a young boy and grew up with photography. It’s also interesting that David Muench uses a 4 x 5 camera for the majority of his work. I think his photos are just beautiful; the colors in them are amazing.

Max Aguilera-Hellweg (by Krystal)

This guy is DISGUSTING.  Props to Chad on creeping out my entire Digital class this morning with these images. From a technical aspect, these photos very detailed and are lit with spotlights, which makes these images very effective but also makes me believe that he was definitely NOT in the United States while shooting these. I can't even imagine why he'd want to do this as a series, but hey, whatever floats your boat. And...do I even want to know if these people were dead or alive while these photos were taken? No. No I do not. 

Check out more photos and even some movies/stories on his website. In addition to gory photographs, he's a wonderful storyteller (if you can even get past the images...) http://maxaguilerahellweg.com/
