Artist Research



 Artist Research 

Ansel Adams 

Ansel was a photographer and he captured images of the environment, his images are black and white, he doesn't use any colour. This adds to peoples imagination in my opinion as although the image is black and white you can still imagine it in colour.  I like how the tree image and how the shadows look on the rocks, distorted effect due to the compassion. I Like the detail of that is shown in the water photograph, and how the light is shining adding different shades.

I really like the parking lot, with the lights, looks so simple yet intriguing. The simplicity and how the light stands out better due to the nightfall. I would like to experiment with night time images within my work. I also think the first image is interesting due to the colours and how the roads are light.

Joshua Cooper 

He captures interesting images, and he also has them in black and white. He has a lot of photography of water, but the fact they are in black and white it sort of gives them more depth and detail.

I think these photographs are wonderful, it's very different, and to look at even though out go focus you can still make out what the objects are. When something is light the use of having it out of focus creates a nice circle effect. I think it would be interesting to go around taking images out of focus to see what different outcomes you could receive.

Susan Hiller 

I really like how she combines images together to make a final outcome. The more that's added creates a much better final then if were alone, adds more impact to the design itself. Has more relevance and place when combined to others instead of individually.

Cindy Sherman 

She uses still images of movies and then photographs herself in them, I thought this was was a really good idea, as able to recreate something different using different medias of film and photography. But she does make it relevant to the background not just to put herself in, it looks as if she was apart of the movie.

David Hockney 

I really like Davids work he takes multiple photographs and collages them altogether to make the final outcome. The are different ways he does this, but each way is interesting and works well.

Barbra Kruger 

Barba Kruger had an exhibition and to present her work she used a room and a projector and was able to project all of her work big on the wall and floors completely covering the room. This is very different than just hanging her work upon the walls.
