Martina Lopez (Constructed images)

Image
 Martina Lopez is a photographer who has a unique way of showing of different images such as portraits. What I find most unique about her images are the memories that it creates. By this I mean it makes you look at the images as if those who've you lost in life are at peace. It doesn't always have to deal with someone who looks at peace but the images that she uses each have a different background that flows with the image itself. It makes you look at the image for a longer duration in my opinion because of how unique/cool it looks. Most of the images that she uses look like paintings or portraits that were taken in the early 1900's. This just goes to show how developed our technology is now and days to be able to take something old and place any background you want with the image. Instead of the image being by itself and being plain the backgrounds add more of a story to it that you can try to guess what it means. It makes the image look more appealing and interesting to l...

Robert Mapplethorpe (Self Portraits)

Image
      Robert Mapplethorpe's photographs are very unique and are all very different from one another. He has different types of photographs that he produces on his website. He has self portraits, male nude and female nude portraits, still life, flowers, and color along with other different categories. The first thing that catches my eye when looking at his different pictures are how lively they look. It almost makes you feel as if you're there in that exact moment in real time. The pictures feel so alive that you can almost touch it in a sense. With each picture that you see, every image has a different and unique pose that you don't see on an everyday basis. He makes each picture have meaning and is interesting to look at. Most of his portraits and self portraits are done in black and white which gives it an old era feeling/look which makes the picture more interesting to me. He makes his self portraits look different as compared to just taking an ordinary picture of your...

Matthew Rolston (Portraits)

Image
 Matthew Rolston is photographer who also works with videos as well. When looking at all of Matthew's photos the one thing that you will notice is that all of the people that he takes pictures of are famous people who are actresses, actors, or singers. They are well known through publicity. When looking at all the images the first thing that catches my eye when looking through all of his photos are the lighting that he uses for each image. He really knows how to make a certain image pop and make it come to life. Every portrait is different especially when it comes to the individual. He finds poses that suits the individual best in my opinion. Also, I like the different colors that he uses in some photos. It really makes certain pictures pop more especially with how good he is when it comes to the lighting that he uses. Not to mention the different facial expressions that he makes the individuals use definitely makes you look at the pictures differently. They give certain images pow...
