Neil Winokur

Image
  My inspiration for the photo essay assignment was Neil Winokur. I love the use of color in his works and how he uses it with his subjects. His work is simple but he manages to make it look interesting, which is something I admire about his photos. I chose to take objects from around my dorm that I frequently use to have as the subjects of my photos. For many of Winokur's Monochromes he got very close to the subject, and that is something I also tried to do. The image of the banana above is part of Winokur's series titled Monochromes . He also has series where the subject and background do not match in color, which is more similar to what I did. Neil Winokur's use of light and color was exceptional and made his work stand out to me.

Bieke Depoorter

Image
  The photographer I chose from the Magnum Photos website is Bieke Depoorter. Bieke Depoorter became a nominee from Magnum Photos at just 25 years old. Depoorter took many photos with people. In the photo above it looks like a group of friends or a family in a car driving past trees with lights on them. In the picture below there is a woman looking out a window and in front of her there is a model town, with people, buildings, and trees, that is lit up. Bieke Depoorter has several more photographs on the website and each one of them says something about the people that are in them. I think Depoorter's photographs are incredibly interesting and I like the work she has done that can be seen on the Magnum Photos website.

Robert Mapplethorpe

Image
The photographer I chose is Robert Mapplethorpe. I find his self portraits incredibly interesting. In the picture above he wore all black clothing that covered everything but his head and hand. This caused it to appear though he was just a head and a hand with a cane. In the picture below it seems like he is moving his head as the picture is being taken to create a blur of movement. Both pictures allude to him fading away or dying. His portraits are some of my favorite that we went over in class and I think he had great ideas to create the images he wanted.
