Week 3 Progress and Inspiration

This week has been more of getting my ideas written down for what I want to photograph. I have come up with six drifferent seens in my head that I would like to make pictures of. I have been going back and forth on locations that would be best for the photos. I have reshot the rooftop photo but it is not quite there yet. I need to spend a few more hours at the location and keep in mind gestures of the model and I, what type of clothing we are wearing and the over all composition.

   

Nancy Newberry

I am drawn to Newberry's photographs because she does tableaus that are centered around a unique custom virtually unknown outside of her home state of Texas. She also questions the relationship between the past and present. Her style is a mix between tableaus and documentation.

Elena Chernyshova

   

Chernyshova is more of a document photographer but her Days of night/Nights of days really caught my eye. The way she sets up her compositions are simple yet very dramatic. She steps away from her subject of focus and allows the viewer to explore what is going in there surroundings.

Nina Roeder

In Roeder's photos I am more attracted to the story behind her series. She has taking three generations of her family and blend all of their memories together by placing them in the same setting and clothing.
