Cindy Sherman

Cindy Sherman has a very abstract art style. She’s able to tell a story that can be viewed in many different ways. In this photo from what I see she’s mocking the practices of cosmetic surgeries. She’s overly enlarged areas of her face to the point where it looks very fake and unnatural. Cindy Sherman is an amazing photographer that is amazing in her field.

Conceptual Self-Portrait

 

Conceptual Definition: The word conceptual means an abstract idea of mental concepts. It really means a theoretical or imaginary depiction that help view new insights.

For my conceptual photo I set down some CDs from my collection and placed my CD player in middle. Music is a big part of who I am. There isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t listen to music. In a conversation I’ll always ask what your favorite song is. Music is very therapeutic for me and helps me focus with a more blank mind on tasks. Music is something I’ll always use in my everyday life and i hope this picture shows that.

Influential Images

Photographer: Pete Souza This photo shows our state leader in 2011 all looking in one direction in desperation waiting for the next moment. They are watching the unfolding of the U.S. raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan. Bin Laden was later killed in that raid. I chose this photo because by just looking at it you cant really tell what’s happening, this is one of those photos that you need context for.
Photographer: Carleton Watkins This photo captures the beauty of Yosemite and its nature.
Photographer: Edward Steichen This photo was really interesting because its both a photo and a painting. The picture of the woods was taken but then hand painted black and white with these cool blue tones. This really sets this photo apart from the others because it isn’t really something you seen in many mainstream photos now. This was a really big way to differentiate they’re work from other snapshots.

National Geographic Covers

I chose this cover because i really like foxes and I think the foxes being all over the cover gives it a collage like effect.
I really like this cover because the illustration makes it look really cool and the persons in space whet isn’t not cool about that.
This photo is really cool because of the way it was drawn like a frame stopped in time as he is falling off the ship.
