David Hockney was born in England in 1937. His early works consisted of prints, portraits, and stage designs. In the 1980's, he accidentally created something that he called a joiner. He was taking pictures in his living room and gluing them together when he realized that all of the smaller images came together to make their own unique and skewed composition.
Joiner photography is the complete opposite of Hockney's early works. His portraits aim to capture the stillness and tranquility of the subject, while the joiners portray a sense of movement and chaos. Each smaller image inside the whole picture is taken at a slightly different time and angle, which gives the overall image a geometric and cubist look.

Harry Callahan was born in Michigan in 1912 and died in 1999. He went to Michigan State to study engineering and then dropped out and began teaching himself photography. He took several pictures every day and spent nights making proofs, but only ever published around 6 each year. He experimented with many techniques and received the National Medal of Arts in 1966 for his works in color as well as black and white.
I like the simplicity of Callahan's pictures. They don't really have a lot in the frame, but they are still interesting and intriguing pictures. I also really like his pictures with people in them. He captures different emotions and sides to people in a very simple but profound way. Edward Weston was born in Illinois on March 24, 1886. He enrolled for college at the Illinois College of Photography, where there was a 9 month photography course. He finished all of the work in 6 months, and the school wouldn't let him get a diploma because he refused to pay for 9 months of schooling. He then moved to California and worked at a small photography studio before moving on to a larger studio with Louis Mojonier. Weston opened his own business in 1910. His business gradually grew and soon people were coming from all over to see his work.
Edward Weston has a unique style of photography. His pictures are in black and white, and he uses unique perspectives and angles to transform ordinary, everyday objects into pieces of art that people stop and look at to question. He has produced a large quantity of portraits and still life pictures, and each one is so different that someone could never get tired of looking at them; it seems that each time you study one of his pictures you find something new that you haven't seen before. |
