William Wegman #2

William Wegman 

Wegman is from Massachusetts and graduated from Massachusetts College of Arts Boston with a B.F.A then he continued his education at University of Illinois with a M.F.A. 

 

From his website it looks like he began his works around 1975 and hasn't stopped since. He has a variety of works from paintings to prints to Polaroids.  

 

 

His work is very different and sometimes be abstract I love that his work involves his dogs. They are so well behaved compared to my dog at least!  For our homage I chose to do him so I am excited to see how well my dog will behave. This should be interesting to say the least.

Murad Osmann #1

Murad Osmann 

 

Murad Osmann is from Russia and started doing photography in 2011. His work got noticed when he did a series of photos of him following his girlfriends lead. 

 

 

He called these his "follow me" series of photos. With his bright colors and beautiful scenery his pictures blew up all over social media sites like tumbler and Instagram.  

 

This is one of his more famous ones because he proposed to his girlfriend in the picture. 

Brain Duffy Post 16

Duffy's images he captured during the 60's and 70's in Britain. After 30 years of taking pictures one day he went out back to the back yard and burned all his work.

He never sold a piece of his work during that time, never published a book and rarely did interviews. Until his son recovered some of his negatives and brought his career back to life.

Richard Avedon Post 15

Richard Avedon captured things that he was afraid of in a way and things he couldn't deal with at certain times in his life. He also enojyed captureing the way clothes looked on people that on moving. He would have his models jump, run and do whatever it took to capture the perfect action shot of the clothes.

William Klein Post 14

I came across Mr. William Klein and I recalled some of his images that he has shot and I can remeber seeing them at some point in my life rather it was in a school book or movie I have seen this guys work throughout my life. He did films as well

He was from New York and shots on the streets. He would capture whats going on in the busy bustling city during this time. He is radical and unique and has influenced photographers to this day.

Ciril Jazbec Post 13

 I cam across Ciril Jazbec when looking for photographers and I really enjoyed his work it's something different and not what you see everyday. His work is taken place mainly in greenland where there are about 250 people to 500 dogs. Sign me up and when do I leave sounds like my type of town.

It's a total different world up north in the cold I can only imagine how people live up there. I don't know how I feel about all the polar bear fur I see but if it's to keep them warm and alive up there I guess it's okay.

Patrick J. Adams Post 12

Patrick J. Adams is a actor on a show I watch called Suits. I had no idea he did photography on the side until they mentioned it during one of the commercial breaks. So I hopped on his website and took a look around his gallery and I was highly impressed.
