Artist 4- Todd Hido

1726
 Todd Hido's series of landscapes was something that i found interesting. I like looking at the different ways photographers photograph landscape. In this image i like how he used this street lamp to light up the construction site. very mysterious feel to what they could be construction. well captured and the sand pile make you wonder if something has been buried.

Self Portrait

Artist 3- Wes Namen


Wes Namen









This is a piece from Wes Namen's "Lonely Man" series. When i first saw this image i thought it as funny. But when i looked deeper into the image i see how lonely the guy is with the variations of instant dinners the liter of alcohol. It brings the viewer deeper into the characters sadness. very depressing image because i feel like the guy lost everything.

Thomas Demand

Thomas Demand

Born: 1964 in Munich



Archive 1995


Thomas Demand creates life size models of architectural spaces or historical places where events have taken place. This photo archive caught my eye by the symmetrical balance of the photo its a simple photography but it has a lot of characteristics to it and the meaning behind this photo isn't what i would've thought. when i first saw this photo i thought it was just a place filled with public records of blank books. But this is a recreation of the Nazi propagandist and filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl's personal inventory. it wasn't what i thought it was but i just liked how the photo for what it is and not the background behind the image. Even the lighting of the photo is lit strangely that adds to the photograph.
