Ansel Adams

Ansel Adams work is primarily in black and white, in high contrast, and the subject matter is generally of landscapes. I feel that his work is somewhat eerie, yet i also feel it is too grainy to have a full effect on me. Although it shows beauty in obscure places, The images themselves, i feel wouldnt do the actual place justice.
5/10




Steve Bloom

Steve Bloom is a wildlife photographer who uses composition, and natural light as well as a zoom to get photographs of wild animals in their natural habitats. I really like his photos as they're so well done and well edited afterwards.
9/10





Mark Arnold

Mark Arnold photographs still life in very unusual settings. His editing, and colour composition used in his work is very impressive, making the still life composition look 3 dimentional and as if it could literally fall out of the image.
8/10 as i dont necessarily like the focus of his work, however his work is so well done, it counteracts my own dislike of the subjects.


Joshua Hoffine

Joshua Hoffine Is a Horror Photographer who uses photoshop heavily in his work. I feel that some of the photographs he produces arent necessarily edited extremely well, however the concepts behind his images, where he plays with peoples fears is extremely well thought out.
7/10



Joe Lorrence

Joe Lorrence's photographs are often used as promotional shots for american television and also american music. I like his shots as they show personalities of the people in them. The contrasts and vivid lighting effects make these images extremely effective, alongside with his compositional talent and his use of colour schemes.
9/10





David Baily

I like these images from David Bailey as the Colours and use of macro photography is eyecatching, although i feel these images are also quite dull, with not much to look at.

5/10

Cindy Sherman

Cindy Sherman is a conceptual portrait photographer. Her work has a tendancy to show the essence of the peophe she is taking photos of. I like her photos a lot as she uses unconventional scenes, rather than a white backdrop studio room. Her Images always have high contrast and are extremely vivid.
