I like his view of the interaction between nature and man made objects and capturing an almost sterilized image.

Haley photographs herself in high traffic areas and analysis critical expressions toward her outward appearance while being proficient in historical photographic she still chooses focused on unaltered digital or film images for capturing her wait watchers series

I enjoy the simplicity of Thomas's images. The carefully constructed lighting and neutral colors create a surreal effect. There a lot to one image and it's easy to spend a lot of time with them and construct a narrative in your head.

Anna uses her camera to capture portraits of people, in these two series, Cuba and Ukrine. She uses lighting and contrast to capture the subjects giving them identity. She took the portraits in Cuba with the intention of documenting the positive aspects of the society.

Roe Ethridge

     Roe Ethridge's work appeals to me for a number of reasons. His success amongst fine art photography greats coupled with his commercial success while still communicating the ironic and critical nature of the fashion industry. I admire anyone who is able to succeed in a field while still remaining humble and making fun of the industry that they're a part of. His use of over the top styling and extremely loud color palettes is impressive the technical excellence in his portraits also keeps me interested in the work and allows me to move deeper into the work than to focus on the technical points.

Artist - Alexander Brown

I first recognised this artist because it was his image on the front of the musician James Blake's debut album, that image itself has similarities to the work I am working on just now, but doing more research Brown's work in many places has a relevance to my practice both within this project and out-with. His ability to use the lens to obscure it's focus provoking the viewer to question the subjects contrasted with the upfront documentary work, mashed with commercial projects is a mixture that I have in my time in education come to accumulate myself and I think that I can learn a lot about my current project in particular from his practice.

Elinor Carucci

What I like about Elinor Carucci's work is how she is able to convey a sense of emotional connection through a photograph. The relationships between these people seem honest and real. I also enjoy her use of light, which looks like most of it is natural window light. Her photograph's show a sense of intimacy that I wish to show in my own work.
