Tess takes a straight on approach to her subject, especially in her portraits. She shows the parts of the human face that often people try and hide or cover up.
Emma focuses on texture. Her photo's make you see things that you look at in everyday life in a way that you never would have seen them before.
vlad experiments with color and composition. He enjoys making his photographs almost like a drawing or a comic.
Chloe likes to focus on certain aspects of her subject. Through doing that she generates a feeling of serenity and calmness
Isaac has fun with bending and mixing his photos with many different mediums. I changes your view on the world, he could have worked on the movie beetle juice or some other weird mind f***ing movie. It find it very intriguing and loved his photo of the two french stoners that he met over the summer, which was less mind f***ing and more portraying an emotion through the people and not through the effects that he added to the photo. He is very skilled at doing both.
Matt's photographs point out the obvious in the subject that someone might not notice or think about at first glance, but at second glance you realize that it has been there all along and you wonder why you didn't notice it before.
Haley's photographs are often in film, she likes to focus on anything, but the face. I especially enjoyed her picture of the legs with no shoes and in the second photograph, the feet had shoes. Her photo's are simple and beautiful. The color's in them are often sort of old fashioned. The tones are warm and fuzzy, i don't find haley's photo's ever to be shocking or unpleasant to look at.
I love Haley's style because her photos tell a story. even if it's just a single shot, and not a set, they show something deeper than just the picture it's self. There is something behind the shot that means more. Her photo's draw you in and make you think, what was Haley thinking when she took this photo, what was her inspiration.
I hope she keeps taking photo's outside of photography class and builds on her already strong talent.
Leah's photographs portray her as a person. She is shy and does not like the spot light to be on her. She chooses animals as her common subject because they are unaware of the camera and the lens and the permanence of a picture. I think she likes the fact that the animals are completely unaware of her taking a picture and their comfort with the attention.
Joel like vlad, also experiments with color and kind of bending the laws of nature. He makes a surreal world with his photos, making things seem unreal.
Winslow takes a very straight forward approach to all of his photo projects. He is not trying to trick any one with his photographs or make you confused. It's all about showing what's there.
