William Klein's creative process simply boils down to him simply traveling the world with his camera to take multiple pictures of something or someone that's piqued his interest. He, along with many other photographers, follow-up with searching through his contact sheets and/or memory cards for that one photograph. After sitting down and watching some interviews people have had with Klein, I learned that he doesn’t follow traditional technique as he was self-taught and simply did this, film, graphic design work, and more because it held his interest and was fun to him. Due to the fact Klein was able to make his career enjoyable for himself, it allowed him to capture images of various situations with ease—not one for being picky about his light
In the White Light painting of Jackson Pollock, I think the repetition and balance of the principle of design are strengthen for work visually.
Both of the photographers are concerned with questions about our collective responsibility in shaping the environments we live in, which reflects in their work.

Thomas Kinkade was known for using strong contrasts between light and dark. He had many artistic talents that spanned over many genres and styles. Kinkade would use “symbols and uplifting imagery to communicate his point of view.” He forged his own path while developing his own styles and techniques. Although Kinkade tried to forge his own path, he had inspirations as well. “The Hudson River and Rocky Mountain Schools of Painting heavily influenced Kinkade’s Early Work”
Uelsmann’s work was not well received in the photography community. His creations were not considered photography; however, he was well received in the art community. John Szarkowski hosted a solo exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art in 1967. Uelsmann was considered “iconoclastic” and “set out to convince critics that photography offered alternatives to the conventional “purist” sensibility…” Uelsmann debated that photos could “evoke elusive states of feeling and thinking triggered by irrational and imaginative juxtaposition” (Kay). Uelsmann has succeeded in finding a following among photographers and artist alike. In the past forty years, Uelsmann’s work has been exhibited in over 100 solo shows throughout the US and overseas. He has permanent instillations in museums worldwide (Taylor). Uelsmann’s photos are now revered for their original technical form as well as their surreal matter (Johnson).
Most of Neal Dougherty’s pieces he showed at the beginning of his presentation I could not tell he used Photoshop or after effects for the medium. Many of his pieces looked like real lithography prints or photographs; for
Adams method to photography is what made his pictures so original. It is seen time and time again that the simplicity of his pictures is what makes them so great: a delicate flower on a piece of wood, a misshaped tree, the beautiful Teton Mountains. Ansel Adams truly believed and
For our third assignment in Communication Design 1, we got a chance to work in groups to come up with a concept theme for the 2016 Signature Awards. Once a theme was chosen, it was up to us Graphic Design students to execute our own solution for the chosen theme.
His style of painting combined many pictorial depth cues while maintaining realism throughout the relatively few paintings he produced. Then there is the Prussian artist, Albert Bierstadt, who was born
Paul Rand, a top influence in the field of design brought America into the modern era of design. This study will give a background to Rands life and how his upbringing impacted his future endeavors. It will then cover his primary works and discuss work that became a defining part of his career and the industry. Following that, it will discuss how Rands work in advertising and Corporate Identity set the groundwork for today design thinking. Finally, the thesis will examine modern designers that sought out Rand as a source of inspiration. This thesis will look at why Paul Rand is said to be one of the most influential graphic designers in history, and why his principles translate into good design that resonates for generations to follow.
A new generation of photographers appeared who were firm to turn away from the picturesque style and its soft focus and painterly effects to a more manipulated, direct, and sharply focused approach. This new method was called straight photography, and its specialists believed it most truly expressed photography's distinctive vision. One innovator was Paul Strand, whose photographs disclose a deep awareness of what he called the spirit of place.
These techniques extended the meaning behind my photos. Alex Stoddard's photography has also opened my mind to
He picks the places based on the accounts he follows. He follows accounts that keep up to date on so scouting. To put a picture together he looks for the right light and keep it kind of neutral. He shoots a lot of depth photos and the background is super blurred. He mostly gets inspired by images when he sees one he will screenshot it or save it and use it as inspiration there isn’t a specific artist he’s inspired by. He loves photos that have that feel good sense and expression in the photos, the ones you cane relate to it or it can remind you of a good time in your life or something that you’re going through. His thought of it is cool to be able to hold something that has a memory behind it. Brandon is a soft spoken and kind fellow who uses a camera and a sculptural editing process to create and alternate reality where light is playful and almost life-like as it swirls around, illuminates and intersects with the world of his subjects. He attended school of visual Arts. He grew up with his
In analyzing the style of Emmanuel Lubezki I found that his techniques adapts to the style/needs of the director and the movie he works on. In the movie The Birdcage, he uses a long lens glamour style whereas, in Children of Men he takes on his famous natural lighting style with a handheld camera. What's unique about these two styles is that he manages to show that the subjects/actors are the main focus and they standout and look amazing whether natural or artificial, he produces natural-looking shots. Lubezki also uses techniques in camera to create the best shoot without green-screens although, when used, the lighting holdes the image together and creates believable moments.
Anderson has been noted for his extensive use of flat space camera moves, obsessively symmetrical compositions, snap-zooms, slow-motion walking shots, a deliberately limited color
He also discussed his favorite forms of photography. "A picture is worth a thousand words, check out photographer Flora Borsi. I like images that look surreal but the longer you look at them, the more possible it seems. I call it magical realism, I don’t know if that is technically
