11/19 Lecture and Reading on Contemporary Photography

Some Photographers

Ansel Adams- 1940s classic black and white photographer

Henri Cartier-Bresson- he waited to for the right moment to capture the best photo possible

Cindy Sherman- she used self portraits and play acting for photos

Ouiji- usually first on a scene to get a tabloid type shot such as a murder scene.

Sherry Levine- took a picture of a picture and then claimed it as her own work.

Thomas Devanz- builds paper models of different scenes for his photos

Wolfgang Tillmans- took non-professional type pictures of family and friends and didn't scrap any of them.

Jeff Wall- used life size pictures of artwork to make it feel like you were actually looking at the piece.
