I think I would like to show the last semester of college and then the start of my life after college. I don't know how its going to turn out but I do know one thing. well today is the day.. well here is my first photograph.
This is a photo of my moms living room looking out side. I just love how the lace is and how you can see the sun through it... and the darkness of how the room looks. I just love sharp contrast and how they make things look. Playing with light is one of the key elements in art.
I think the first photographer that I would like to talk about is Horst P. Horst. I think he uses light to develop strong contrast from. the photo I am going to show you is called Mainbocher's Pink Satin Corset and was taken in 1939 using Gelatin silver print. Gelatin silver is a process that was use to develop black and white photography using silver salts in gelatin. More can be read about this process at Wikipedia.
Horst seems to have been talented in using the light around him to create such great photography. He had a good span of sixty years where he became famous for his art. He mostly did fashion photography for places such as French Vogue. He didn't start our as a photographer he ended up going to war before he discovered his passion. He has amazing web sit that shows off a lot of his work and tells you a little more about his work. www.horstphorst.com
I think the Horst is one of my favorite photographers. I really enjoy the process of creating photography in a dark room being able to edit them and make them as big as I can. The whole presses seems to drive my creativity. It took me a long time to realize that, that is the way I want to go with my art. Learning everything I can about art can only help me to develop my eye for a good layout.
