Gorges Rousse

Gorges Rousse is a French photographer who works in abandoned buildings with the intention of transforming the space into a geometrical masterpiece. Creating the illusion of these shapes in run down ware houses and empty buildings takes extreme precision. His work consistently baffles the viewer through the interpretation of a two dimensional view in a three dimensional space. As we begin to work on our final projects I would love to find a concentration in my work similar to Rousse. Combining the artistic form of painting with photography is particularly intriguing and challenging.

dorothea lange

Working on emmulating Richard Avedon, a famous portrait photographer, I came across Dorothea Lange who's work is similar to Avedon's photo's taken in the American west. Her photo's strangely depict the true emotions of the subjects in a very real and natural way. While each photographer has a different style, their works draw similar parallels. Each focus on the portrait of the person in a black and white setting with her work in particular leaning more towards the later work of Avedon.

Abstract Black and White Photos

The abstract black and white photos carry a unique element by casting a gray scale tone across the photos. Through lighting and specific textures the photographer is able to to distract the viewer and creates a distorted view. The last picture also uses repetition of form to create a pleasing image but still one that is hard decipher what the true form is.
