Plus and minus

When I was taking the plus and minus pictures I took pictures of people wearing all black sense we all went to the black history month thing. I did that one for the minus sense they wore all black. For the plus I took pictures of people like light clothes. Overall I liked it because it defined the colors of the plus and minus.

Spin like a top shot

        I kind of liked the spinning while taking pictures. Even though it was kind of blurry, it still looked good. It was sort of like taking selfies but instead you had a camera instead of a phone. Overall the spin in the shot was and I find it good taking those types of pictures.

Laszlo moholy-nagy

Laszlo Moholy-Nagy is arguably one of the greatest influences on post-war art education in the United States. A modernist and a restless experimentalist from the outset, the Hungarian-born artist was shaped debates about photography. When Walter invited him to Bauhus, in Dessau, Germany, he took over the school's crucial preliminary course, and gave it a more practical, experimental, and technological bent.

100 shots

Taking 100 shots was pretty interesting because I took shots that I wanted to take. the pictures that I was trying to take was like people and the school. The more I took pictures the more I felt the moment of taking the pictures.

Hocus Focus

In the hocus focus shot it felt different because I was taking like not good pictures because it was blary. I was trying to make the best out of the picture. In my opinon i didn't really like the hocus focus due to the fact that those are not the type of pictures that I take.

Hans Neleman

Born in the Netherlands in the 1960’s, Neleman was schooled at time when the arts were considered a fundamental part of education rather than merely an adjunct to it. He developed an early talent for collage and sculpture, which led to his acceptance as a student at Goldsmiths’ College of Art in London.  After receiving a thorough grounding in the plastic arts there, Neleman continued his studies at Polytechnic of Central London, where he further developed his photographic technique and became deeply interested in semiotics and its related disciplines.

Shot in the dark

Shot in the dark was like kind of weird because I'm used to taking pictures with focus. I felt like it was wrong taking pictures with my eyes closed. I was going around closing my eyes and snap after snap. So in my point of view I didn't like it because I need to take pictures with my eyes closed.

William Wegman


William Wegman was born in Holyoke, Massachusetts, in 1943. As a young boy Wegman was always fascinated with art. One year he received a Polaroid camera for his birthday which began his fascination with photography. He graduated from the Massachusetts College of Art, Boston, in 1965 with a BFA in painting, then enrolled in the Masters painting and printmaking program at the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana, receiving a Masters of Fine Arts degree in 1967.

Anne Geddes

She started a very small portraiture business by photographing the babies and young children of her friends and neighbors.

Edward Weslon

Born on March 24, 1886, in Highland Park, Illinois, Edward Weston's father gave him his camera at age 16. Much of his photography in the early 1920s can be identified as Pictorialist style, meaning they imitated paintings. In 1923, he traveled to Mexico, where he opened a photographic studio with his lover, Tina Modotti. During this time, Weston took a number of the portraits and nudes for which he's known today. Several Mexican artists of the time, including Diego Rivera, David Siqueiros and Jose Orozco, called Weston a pioneer of 20th century art. In 1926, Weston returned to the United States, settling in California, where he continued to create—nudes, close-ups, natural forms and landscapes, among several other works.
