- Missy Prince
Missy Prince is interested in capturing urban and rural landscape. Prince likes to take photos of things that suggest a narrative. Her photos seems to be about the details of a place and all have the same mood of abandonment though they are of different objects. Prince captures places that have a sense of embrace, but like I said previously abandonment. How people use the land that surrounds them, and how sometimes it is misused and not taken care of. Her photos have a mystery about them which suggests a narrative of what is going on within the photo and where is the place she photographed. What had sparked my interest with Missy Prince's photo is the quirkiness of them. How each seem to have evidence of human presence, but no people are ever pictured. Also I feel as if I can relate to the photos of a small run-down town surrounded by nature-- like where I am from.
Sara Cwynar is a Canadian photographer who uses both a mix of film and digital. Cwynar is inspired by the look of old film photography. She creates still-life images of "found elements", sets them up and the produces them in chromogenic prints. Cwynar makes c-prints of still life's which are manipulated in Photoshop. Photoshop takes part in every photograph she makes. Cwynar plays with the image enough so there is balance of reality and her power to deceive through manipulation. The photos that were chosen are from two different series, but the same process was used for each. My first reaction was "wow"! I love the idea of Cwynar uses old and new, and how the effect of the digital manipulation makes the photograph amazing. It seems as the photos are letting the viewer enter another realm of photography purposely deceiving the viewers eye. These images remind me of a hologram how when you move it, it changes the perspective of the picture.
