For this week I decided to look for photographers who have taken a similar route as me on my "Series" project. For my first photographer I discovered Henry Flook, a British photographer who came to America and focused on the looming presence of God. He juxtaposes juxtaposes Houses of God with a population that has turned away from the pulpit as a way to consider a more diverse population. I thought his project was very interesting and I saw his same interest in the signography of the Churches.

Julia Sellmann's documentary photography explores a religion born out of the fall of the Soviet Union called The Church of the Last Testament. She captures this community of followers living in Serbia who sold everything they had to live in wooden houses without modern technology to be closer to their "Messiah" This photo project is an interesting look at the crossections of Religion, Faith, and Spirituality. Her style of photography regarding her subjects is also interesting, deadpan and not looking directly at the camera. They seem to have dreamy or longing gazes, leading the viewer to wonder what they are envisioning.
