An assortment of photographers

Edward Muybridge

I chose this photo out of all of Muybridge's photo's because of the range of angles it give of the rider and horse. Even though you're looking at many different images, together they fit so well, as your eyes move across the images the subject moves with you, changing as though it were a stop motion film. I guess that's the magic of Muybridge, he took observational photography to a different level giving it a more fluid feel, less static.

Imogen Cunningham

This photo really caught my attention mainly because of how intimate and voyeuristic it is. The pained expression on the woman's face combined with the close position of the two people make it seem like there is an emotional back story to this photo that we shouldn't be seeing yet it's so hard to look away.
The figures are beautifully lit as well, the whole photo is a picturesque observation.

George Tice

I particularly liked the isolation of this photo, the darkness of the surrounding highlighting the car on it's lonely road. Void of detail you take in the whole photo as one and observe it's meaning or message. It's an ordinary thing that without this photo we wouldn't take any notice of and yet with Tice's help we notice the car, the long road and the mystery behind it's context.

Annie Leibovitz

There are many things that make this photo; the composition, the humor, the juxtaposition of the men and the penguins. It's brilliant and a wonderful example of Leibovitz's style of capturing the subjects characters and attitudes in a remarkable way. it's expressive and eye catching and a wonderful example of taking photography to a new, different place.

Ansel Adams

I think the thing that works with this photo is the sheer scale of it. The more you look at it the more impressive it becomes, the snow covered mountain range framing the hills which provide a backdrop for the beam of sunshine highlighting the animal in front of the trees. The whole thing has a beautiful composition that compliments the grand scale of this landscape.

Sara Moon

Sara Moon's photos remind me very much of paintings, with their soft focus and moody plays on light. This one has a sultry, feminine feel to it with it's rose colours and half clothed models. I like this style very much as i find it portraying women in a gently sexual way, classic and artistic. It certainly has a fashion edge to it as well.
