Jing Yang 10 style





Mika Ninagawa is a Japanese photographer born in October 18, 1972. She is known for her brightly colored photographs of flowers, goldfish, and landscapes. In her book “a piece of heaven”, he pictured everything she saw, for example, a pretty goldfish, a nice pink strawberry, a good-looking young lady, birds, nature etc. She likes to take the picture up close to the object she was interested in. She doesn’t care about putting the whole object in the frame and sometimes in the picture, only part of the objects is in the frame for example the leg of the children in the water. Also, in many of her pictures, she used a high aperture to show the sense of motion it could be the object is moving, like a swimming goldfish. But more interesting, in the pictures of an old lady sitting in the casino, the whole picture is blurry. In that picture, she shows the motion of the photographer. These kind of picture gives people the sense of our daily like photo took by our smartphone. When people see something interesting, they quickly take out their phone and took a photo. Don’t considering the quality of the image, people just want to capture the things they see quickly. The most obvious feature is the bright color of her photographs, the high saturation gives her pictures the sense of warmth and vitality. Just like the name of the book, her pictures give me the feeling of looking at the beautiful world through her eyes, the sense of happiness of seeing the grateful things in the world. The world is beautiful like heaven in her camera and she shows a piece of the world in her photographs.

Marc Wendelski Marc Wendelski is a geometrician anarchist, a meticulous amateur, a liberate surveyor. In his book “nage libre” he used his camera to capture landscapes and people. In most of his pictures he used diagonal or asymmetrical structure to composed his pictures. And the square pictures, with all sides of equal length, help him to emphasize the objects in the picture. Also, he used wide angle lenses to picture landscapes. Wide angle lenses give you a wide view and it’s perfect for capturing expansive landscapes. In Marc Wendelski’s pictures, the wide angle lenses help him to capture the whole landscapes and since wide angel make things look far away, it makes the scene magnificent. When noticing the color of his pictures, they always have a low saturation. The color in the pictures are not faithful to be reality. Even in the photos he probably took in summer, which trees are green, they convey a desolate feeling. Among all his photos, the sky is always white or light grey an...

Dennis Hopper Born May 17th 1936, he started taking art classes when he was 13. He started out as an actor but he developed a bad reputation for being a difficult actor, he turned to photography in the 1960’s.  He used a Nikon 33 mm camera that his wife gave him for his birthday. He took a lot of monochrome photographs and when he photographed in color he focused in on the way the colors worked together. He has captured many politically driven photographs but he has also captured many portraits of friends and the people around him in life. He liked to colors as an abstract design and would often photograph graffiti from the gangs in Los Angeles. For the series of photographs that I looked at he chose to capture these colorful designs in polaroid photos.  Artists Work My Photos

1/ what do you intend to photograph? I want to capture the real identity of different people. I want to photograph people when they are doing something in their bedrooms. I will start by asking questions: what you usually do in your bedroom. I want to find out the unknown sides of them. So I will mainly focus on my close friends who I have known for a while and find out either dark, crazy, weird sides by asking questions. will use a wide-angle lens trying to show their personality through the room decorations. My subjects might not look at the camera. And I hope they are comfortable with what they are doing like there is without a camera and outside observer. 2- why do you want to photograph the subject? I feel people all show totally different sides in public. It is necessary to hide some parts of the self. But it is interesting to explore what people are hiding or not brave enough to show. I know decent people take naked portraits or living under a mess because of mental p...
