Oliver Herring

Oliver Herring created art by having people blow food coloring out of their mouths and photographing the results in the end.

His images were very colorful and it showed the lines and structure in ones face and the looks on the person is very empowering.

Saed Meshki

Another Typographer with great images in their layouts. Great usage of balancing images and use of space. The layouts are really eye catching and hold great visual interest.

Reza Abedini

A graphic artist that specializes in Typography. He uses clean lines and a lot of negative space. The negative space that is used is very nicely done and looks like a refreshing layout that is something that I would like to resemble in my book. He also uses a lot of shilouettes in his layouts, which is somewhat what I will be doing also.

Arturo Herrera

Arturo Herrera said that the camera lens is like a blade that cuts from his own drawings.

His idea of taking images and then dipping the film in water and letting the water seep in was a cool idea. I wonder how it would look in color.

Tom O. Scott

The works by Tom Scott are a piece of work in its self. Its actually amazing what you find once you open your eyes and allow yourself to imagine an image made solely in sand.

He photographs the beach sand and how the ocean brings in the black sand and mixes together to create an almost illustrated photograph that makes you wonder if they actually do exist at the coast.

He also photographs driftwood and shows the different textures found on them. The images tend to have tree like images and images of movement throughout them.

I actually want to take a trip to the beach to see if I can find images as his on the coast.

Sarah Moon

Sarah Moon was a photographer born in 1941 in France. She focused on a lot of fashion photography and the face of a human being. The face, profile, back, and perspective were all important things to consider in photography and were always incorporated into the works that she took. Being a photographer had an added value, and created a pure fiction among the pictures that were taken. Her image of the peacock spreading its feathers was very beautiful and you end up appreciating it because you don't get to see that beauty everyday.

"The world of fashion with its real fakes."
"Just a Polaroid to catch a glimpse of the fugitive."

As the Pages Turn....

My project that I am looking to create is going to be about the creations and drawings that are apart of my life. I have been drawing for many years now and I don't have them all in the same place, so creating a book with my images will be very rewarding to me. I will be scanning the drawings in and creating a book of my drawings as my personal portfolio. This will also be a nice thing that I can pass on to other people.

The images are all in black and white and show human figures in movement. They tend to be repetitive and detailed. I will incorporate text with the images and more or less show a word that I feel describes the images that were drawn.
