Alex DORFSMAN
Alex DORFSMAN is an artist born in 1977.Certainly, the pictures by Dorfsman could be associated to scientific photography. Hence the title: Natural Selection. Nevertheless, a short analysis of his series reveals the deep difference there is between his work and any logical or scientific strategy. The is no logical order in the way in which he approaches the world. Indeed, his photo graphs emphasize formal likeness, and that cold work as a basis for typologies akin to those used by natural sciences. Nevertheless, when we look closely at his choice of subjects, as well as to the order in which they are presented by the author, we realize that the analogies are not established in relation to physiological categories or to functional genres. The things he represents and the relation between them do not suggest a useful purpose. The logical is purely imaginary, poetical: the photographer observes the reality around him and finds aesthetic relations between forms. Instead of a pragmatic intention or an instrumental purpose we find a metaphorical reason: it Is as if these images only existed in order to unveil the potential in the imaginary relations between beings and objects. These natural and artificial entities appear before our eyes as a simply wonderful existence: as an imaginary screen on which we can project our personal intentions, desires and fears.
     




Jeff Wall

Jeffrey Wall, was born in September 29, 1946,  is a Canadian artist best known for his large-scale back-lit cibachrome photographs and art history writing. Wall has been a key figure in Vancouver's art scene since the early-1970s. Early in his career, he helped define the Vancouver School and he has published essays on the work of his colleagues and fellow Vancouverites Rodney Graham, ken Lum and lan Wallace. His photographic tableaux often take Vancouver's mixture of natural beauty, urban decay and postmodern and industrial featurelessness as their backdrop.Jeff Wall’s work synthesizes the essentials of photography with elements from other art forms—including painting, cinema, and literature—in a complex mode that he calls “cinematography.” His pictures range from classical reportage to elaborate constructions and montages, usually produced at the larger scale traditionally identified with painting.






Richard Long

Sir Richard Julian Long, CBE , RA (born 2 June 1945) is an English sculptor and one of the best known British land artist.Long studied at Saint Martin's School of Art before going on to create work using various media including sculpture, photography and text. His work is on permanent display in Britain at the Tate as well as galleries in America, Switzerland and Australia.
Several of his works were based around walks that he has made, and as well as land based natural sculpture, he uses the mediums of photography, text and maps of the landscape he has walked over.
In his work, often cited as a response to the environments he walked in, the landscape would be deliberately changed in some way, as in A line made by walking (1967), and sometimes sculptures were made in the landscape from rocks or similar found materials and then photographed. Other pieces consist of photographs or maps of unaltered landscapes accompanied by texts detailing the location and time of the walk it indicates.

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...
