Parker Austin Week 9 Post

Gavin Free, One of my favorite videographers ever. He has his claim to fame from being a major personality on the website, RoosterTeeth. Being the front man of a show he starts called Slow-Mo Guys, he is constantly using color and explosions to his advantage with these beautiful quality slow mo shots of different things. like ink in water, a bubble popping, and powder on a bass. All the slow shots happen in about 5 seconds and can be drawn out in a video for about one minute and are made with excellent quality and sharpness.

Beth Teller - Week 4 Post 2

Brendan Hoffman photographed a small town in Iowa, which after having a main employer shut down left 2,000 without jobs. We've seen this type of photography many times before. However, Hoffman brings about a different way to view the photographs of these almost forgotten about towns. To him, this project was about asking "what if? What if I had been raised in such a place - a small rural town in the Midwest, instead of an East Coast suburb - with no plan or desire to leave? What would I have missed? Or gained?" Having lived in a small (well, not quite this small) town myself, I know people who have no desire to leave and they are completely happy with their choice.

The recreating of these photos was a project celebrating the change of the park over the years. I find these photo interesting not only the comparison but the history behind the originals and the time in between.

Photographer Amy Kalbasz she started capturing her children as they grow up but has since expanded from that. She used different Lensbaby to help create the dream like fizzy space. I find her photos pleasing to look at and the unsharpness of them i think is enjoyable.

Richard Mosse, i may have done him already but i think this work is different from what I've seen by him originally. His past work of the african jungle soldiers cover in pink flora was a eye catching and beautiful tale. This however is overwhelming with feeling and beauty. These thermal images were taken from what seems like a good distance but have so much detail to color and skin tones even though it through thermal mapping. The different textures and designs make it seem like a cartoon or even like an ash pile. The over all feeling of being cold and lost are complimented by the color and usage of the color spectrum within and thermal imaging.

Parker Austin Week 7 Post

Brian Overend is one of my all time favorite photographers. not only are his photos well shot and composed beautifully, he takes photos of something that most people would be afraid to. He has been in the biker scene since we was a kid due to his father. Traveling with the huge group of bikers for 700 miles taking photos in many different situations. He has captured many emotional and physical moments with these people who all seem to be the meanest people on the planet, humanizing and displaying them safely to the public.

joshua hoffing has a similar photo style to what i want to accomplish with my video project. The essence of a scary feature but with a silly undertone to it. His aren't extremely funny but have a lighting or coloring to them that seem bright and fun. His dark horror photos take away the darkness and show the gory reality of horror without darkness, making it seem kind of silly. I don't funny understand why he went this direction with his work but i like it no the less.

BCM - Artist 15 - Maxim Dondyuk

These photos are in a series called Culture of Confrontation. These are images which take place in the Ukraine conflict of 2013. Maxim Dondyuk was actually trying to make an artistic statement rather than document the fighting. It seems like they are trying to glorify the protesters and the riot police at the same time. It's hard to guess which side the photographer wants us to root for.
