Book Title: PHotoBolsillo
Photographer: Chema Madoz
He is a Spanish artist and photographer. Madoz
uses everyday objects to make optical illusion photographs that are unexpected
to see in black and white. His idea was to show that these objects might look
different if we combine it with other items in a creative way. Madoz feel that
these essential items could be a new art if we think more deeply and ignore
some details that are not useful. He put the items that we use every day in a
different way that surprise us. These
objects are characterized and photographed with controlled lightning and contrast.
He developed his idea of photographing objects that we could see in most of his
photography. His photos goal to make people think more with what they see because
he uses normal objects and put them together in irregular way. In his life he
got many awards such as, Kodak Spain prize, National photography award and
Higasikawa Photo Festival in Japan
Book Title: Walker Evans
Photographer: Walker Evans
Evans was an American photographer, who was influenced of
the future. His photographs show that he loves art and his aim was to show people’s
expression and more about royalty while photographing houses. Evans tried to
show the modern lifestyle in Europe and he was concerned mostly about modern construction.
Because his career was during the first world was, some of his photographs show
people suffering at that time. Evans seems that he documented the life after the
depression and he his style was to take photograph of people feelings in black and
white.
Book Title: Thames and Hudson
Photographer: Bill Brandt
He is a British photographer, who was special at night
photography. Brandt was in love with paintings and then he moved to make
photographs in a portrait studio. Usually
his photographs are in black and white. He tried to have good lightning and control
white and black perfectly which make his photographs amazing to see. His
photographs are influenced with the surrounding environment and the people of different
social levels. Later, Brandt started photographing urban cities during the
second world war. Brandt was one of few photographers who took photographs of
people suffering during the second world war After the war, Brandt started to
photograph landscapes of the English literature which seems interesting. Brandt
feelings of freedom were shown clearly in some of his photographs.
I followed the style of Chema Madonz which inspired me to think deeply about art of objects.
