Edward Weston (1886 – 1958) –\u00a0 All black and white photos to emphasize light. Shape and intricacy seems to be the most prominent theme in his photos. He takes a very specific perspective to all of his subject matter. He also does a really nice job creating even photos in the sense of contrast. Almost every photo has a fullness to it that is very satisfying.<\/p>\n
Dorothea Lange – All black and white photos. Does a great job capturing genuine moments. Her portraits show real emotion and convey a message in a single picture. Many of her images emit pain in a very powerful way.<\/p>\n
“Any one looking at Dorothea’s photos today can see her feelings written all through them.”<\/p>\n
It sounds like a lot of the pain we see could be a reflection of her frustration with Polio and her father’s desertion.<\/p>\n
I love she created a darkroom out of a chicken coup. Show’s her creativity and passion for photography.<\/p>\n
Through all of her work, there is clear intention behind it – I don’t mean intention in composition (they of course have that) But intention in the subject matter and story behind each photo<\/p>\n
Her photo, “Migrant Mother”, is probably my favorite photo of hers. There is such authentic emotion in this picture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
