Photographer #12 Brassai, who is a french/Hungarian man. Through his life he was known for his Photography, Poetry and Sculptures. He was also antiquated with Pablo Picasso and Dali.
His photos included mostly the Paris nightlife in which he was engulfed in. All of his images are black and white which is something that i find very interesting. When it comes to pictures taken from the streets, or from a nightlife scene, i love the mood black and white images give you. Color is taken away so all your information comes from the clothing, facial expressions and scenes which each person is apart of.

Photographer #11 Henri Cartier-Bresson
Once Bresson fled to Africa after a heart break, he shot and sold game to local villagers. Through hunting he found ways to put that knowledge into his photos. It is with this knowledge that i think he took with him when he traveled back in France and became close to the surrealist. He took this shot of the three African Boys "Three Boys at Lake Tankanyika," and it captures the raw images of life in that environment. I find his whole story very interesting. You can read more on--

Photographer#10 Brian Duff
I decided to ponder around famous photographers from Britain and came across him. Brian was a famous photographer that took pictures in the 60's and 70's. it is said to say that he became uninterested in photography at one time and burned a lot of his negatives. He started to shoot again soon before he died.  He was known for taking images of other famous people such as John Lennon and Audrey Hepburn and people alike. I chose to show these images because i love how they are executed. The little boy and girl looking at each other from ways away with the "love" sign above them. The stylish woman with the newspaper going across the picture in an almost organised fashion, and the two woman who take fill up the image, engulfing your interest by their fierce facial expressions.

Today i decided to look up specifically famous digital photographers. I am a big fan of wildlife photography, that is why i chose to look up the 2015 wildlife photographer of the year winner. The winner this year goes by the name of Don Gutoski who caught a striking image which he likes to call "Tale of Two Foxes". Not that it matters, but foxes are by far my favorite animal which makes this image so much more striking.It makes you wonder about the image so much more. Foxes can be very caring creature. This image in particular reminds me of that viral video where one fox goes and tries to "wake up" or get another fox from the road, in which he was hit by a car several minutes before. 

Though i say this, and this is something i want to believe, i know what the image truly is..The red fox had actually killed the arctic fox. And the fact that this photographer was able to capture this ferocious battle of these beautiful creatures makes it that more wonderful. 


Aside from this here are other wildlife pictures created by Don 








(also, i copy and pasted Dons name to make sure i didn't spell it wrong and it completely changed my fonts and made all these words with white outlines, i just don't know how to fix it. So i apologize.

yet ANOTHER photographer,

Robert Capa.
Robert is known mostly for his pictures of battles during the world war and other. In his lifetime he was able to capture the most stunning images of american history. Capture the fear, the victories, the sadness and the happiness of the men and woman who lived and fought during the war, as well as the love that emerged in such a hard time.

The next photographer I found for this week is Ansel Adams. I am taken aback by all of his images, not only in the sense of all the black and white, but the sites and the views taken in places that one could only dream of. The natural beauty's of the world taken, and his ability to catch the lights and the dark's of an image just the right way. The imagery he was able to create within his lifetime takes you back to a century I wouldn't have known about unless i was looking at his images. I have a tendency to like photographers that share the images of nature as it is at that time.. because the world is always changing, and in a hundred years, the picture that he had created then, will never be able to be taken again.
