I seriously don't know what week this is...

I choose this image by Thomas Struth because of its emotional quality. I found that I am attracted to open empty areas that are normally populated by people. The loneliness of the situation really causes me to think about the emotion of the place itself rather than with other people in it.

I choose this image by Eugene Atget for it dark mysterious quality. Its no secret that I like dramatic lighting and this certainly has it. I find that it makes the photograph more interesting and yet keeps it very simple.

Photo II Week whatever it is :D

I chose Bill Brandt for my first photographer this week. I Liked the distortion of the figure. This was achieved through the distance of the arm to the body and how close the lens was to the subject. Brandts work is centered around how the camera distorts the body of the figures.

My second photographer this week is Alvin Langdon Coburn. I choose this photo for its sense of atmosphere. While the photo is clearly foggy by nature it is also foggy in subject due to the smoke. This atmosphere changes the normal street scene into something more dramatic and mysterious.
My final photographer was Brian Duffy. This photo is from a group of photographs all involving well dressed women on the street. While I didnt read any deep meaning from them I found that I really liked this one. The reflections added interest and detail while the womans gaze draws you to her as the subject.
