Sternbach is a portrait based photographer whose work has explored numerous themes such as domesticity and the family, sexuality and the body, gender and feminism (more promanant in her early works). In her more recent and current work she is currently experimenting with a variety of historic photographic processes and is known for her wet plate collodion tintype portraits of surfers and surfboards. The first three are from earlier work (From her book Kissing a stranger) and the second three are from her newer work of her global project of going around taking photos of surfers and boards. I was attracted to these photos because I think they share an interesting point on reality and I think that her process and choice to do collodion style images is interesting.

Kidd is a Maine based photographer who takes photos in a narrative, story-telling way that follows the themes along memory and belonging, incorporating her poetic backgrounds into her photographs. These photographs are taken from her series called "Yesterday". I am attracted to these photos because they sort of give me a nostalgic, whimsical feeling when I look through them, I find myself looking for more than just what you see. I enjoy the ones of just the back of the head a lot as I think that you can still feel and sense the atmosphere of the photo and can read it without the need to see her face and read the image that way.
