- Arlen Parsa
- John Baldesseari
- Paul Mpagi Sepuya
- Khadija Saye
- Lorna Simpson
- Lee Friedlander
- Luke Willis Thompson
Arlen Parsa
The reason I have chosen this photographer is because the images they have produced contain deeper meaning and to understand the image the viewer needs to think.
John Baldesseari
I have chosen this photographer because, similar to the photographer above, the images rely on the viewer having understanding and they contain deeper connotations than those on face value.
Paul Mpagi Sepuya
I have chosen this artist because I liked the style of their images, as they are more abstract and can be viewed in many different ways. I am interested in taking some abstract images relating to love and rebellion and protest and activism, which is why I would like to look further into the context, and conceptual ideas behind these images.
Khadija Saye
I have chosen this photographer because I am interested in the ideas behind these images. For this project I would also like to take portrait images and these images would influence my images.
Lorna Simpson
The reason I have chosen this photographer because the conceptual notions behind these photographs I find are interesting and would like to know more and hopefully be influenced by them.
Lee Friedlander
I have chosen to look more into this photographer because I like the look the images and would like to take photographs of related monuments for this project
Luke Willis Thompson
I have also chosen this photographer because of how poignant and emotive the images they take are. For this project I would to take images similar to this and use them for photo montages and experimenting.
