album art: 2010

james nader is a fashion photographer. i like his work because i am very inspired by it. i like the way the pictures are so sharp and the way the models are so powerfully positioned.

This photograph is by a photographer called jeff wall. most of his work appears very unrealistic but give amazing effects , eg. the ceiling made completly of light bulbs !
In 2002, he was awarded the Hasselblad Award. In 2006, he was made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.^[4] Jeff Wall was named an Officer of the Order of Canada in December 2007.^[5] In March 2008, Wall was awarded the Audain Prize for Lifetime Achievement, British Columbia's annual award for the visual arts.^[6]"

Julian Opie is a famous photographer and creates simple images! we did and activity in class and took photgraphs of our selves which we then put in photoshop and simplised them to make the same effect. i found the process very difficult because it was hard to make the lines curve in stead of being very jagged! i like julians work because it is so simple yet so effective .

I have been looking at the photographer andy warhol. alot of his work is very brightly coloured and alot of blocked colour is used, i like his work because it is very unique!
After a successful career as a commercial illustrator, Warhol became famous worldwide for his work as a painter, avant-garde filmmaker, record producer, author, and member of highly diverse social circles that included bohemian street people, distinguished intellectuals, Hollywood celebrities and wealthy patrons."

this picture was by the photographer loretta lux. i like the style of the photographs and they way they appear very old fashioned, i also think the pictures are slightly scary looking because they are all of children with such serious faces which is something you dont often see.
