    These are crazy. I love how unpredictable they are. The images have a “wow-factor” to them. It’s so interesting to see how much he can make out of one image. I really enjoy the images that display movement. They are so simple, but then again have a lot going on. His technique is very nice.

    Arbus’ portraits are done so well. He displays the subject in their environment and the picture soon becomes a story. Even if the background isn’t fully exposed, it still makes for a great picture. I love the image he has of the 3 or 4 guys in a Santa suit – it’s hilarious! I agree with Lauren, the pictures are so simple and there is still a depth to them.

    I was scrolling through Dan Winters’ website an was amazed by how simple he makes his portraits look. They have such great lighting and an amazing thought process behind it. His celebrity portoflio is just amazing. He’s photographed pretty much every famous person I can think of! His work with the honeybees are so interesting. He just used a plain black background and photographed them from different angles. I never would have thought of a honeybee the way I do now after seeing his work. It’s great.

    I totally agree with both the comments above! His portraits are done with such class and beauty. I love the shots with the elephants. It’s so out of the ordinary, but makes the picture extremely interesting. He creates this natural look to the portraits. Love his style and outside of the box thinking.

    Paul Strand’s portraits are so beautiful. He really has a way of capturing the individual’s character along with the physical face. In his other potraits, he has some people portrayed in their work environment, it adds something to the pictures – it makes them more realistic. Strand also plays with some shadows. He has great photos that show the shadows on the sidewalk. It’s such a different perspective of “street photography”. It’s great.

    I really enjoy these images. Who would of thought that a collection of geometric buildings would be so appealing to the eye? I love the simplicity of these. Photographs don’t have to portray an action or something extremely interesting to be “good”. These are a perfect example. The images are centered, and have a connection to each other. They are just so dang simple! I love it!
