Peter Beste
Peter Beste is a photo Journalist who concentrates on music, and documenting different music scenes around the world. He documented the iconic Houston rap scene that has been very iconic in Hip Hop. He showed not only a side of the Houston rap scene that a lot of people don't realize. He did a lot of portraits which gave you a sense of who the people in these communities are. He got very intimate in a lot of the shots, and gave you a sense of what that area of Houston is like.
Jeffrey Wolin photographed people in low income neighborhoods, and wrote their stories about who they are, and what they have been through and writes the stories on the images themselves. The text on the picture gives the image, and the whole piece a whole different meaning, and feeling when the images are seen. Adding text makes a image a little something more. It raises questions, and thoughts that people don't always see from what is shown. Not because the image isn't conveying it but it is the internal thoughts of a person. This isn't just a piece of paper it is a object.
