Bruce Wilson

Bruce Wilson does a variety of portraiture and commercial photography. The composition, lighting, and color in his works are obviously thought out and achieved well. He utilizes space in most of his pieces to create well balanced images. You can tell he has good communication with his subjects based on their posture and expression, and I feel like this is something I need to work on more.

Ann Brown

Her website is http://www.annbrownphotography.com/newsite/newsitemisc/menuset.html

Brown ranges from commercial photography to experimental photography. I find her costumes and sets very interesting. She is also a makeup artist, and uses this experience in a lot of her work. I feel like I might be more attracted to this because I’ve done work as a makeup artist and would like to experiment incorporating that into my photography. The lighting in her work is very complimentary to the people in it and they are all decently balanced.

Ioco’s art is very conceptual. It emphasizes the nature of the human body and distorts reality using surrealistic perspective and messages behind the image. Much of the relationship between the body and nature stems from placement and representation of color and pose.

Michael Hartman

Hartman’s art places a lot of emphasis on beauty. He tends to take a very formalist approach with composition and lighting, but manages to abstract it with his overall style. His ideas generally center around being aesthetically pleasing. I feel as though a lot of my photography is generally abstract in some ways and I should work on formalist techniques and technicalities. I feel as if Hartman is a good example of the combination of these ideas.
