1.Manny Librodo
His pictures recorded stories. His photochrome brightly painted, and his black-and-white photograph has strong contrast.
What I learned:
One successful photo not only depends on the person how beautiful or handsome, but also depends on the expression of emotion, and we also can use strong contrast to show the strong visual impact.
2.Rinko Kawauchi : I want to find something beyond pictures.
She is a famous female photographer from Japan, she was good at using photos to show the little things from daily life, she also good at portrait photography. She said:” photography is not just printing, but the photographer’s unique perspective to capture moments.”
What I learned:
Every picture can tell the stories, when I saw her pictures I can feel about peacefully. And she used low saturation in her works. Makes color brightness and not dull monotonous to show the conception.
3.Hideaki Hamada
He is a famous photographer in Japan, he is good at portrait and everything which is refined in the nature. His portrait works mainly shoot children. He said:” Children’s behavior and movement always make me let myself go.” His inspirations are behavior and manner. He thinks humanity makes him feel exciting.
What I learn:
We need to keep objective view to shoot every photos, do not get too close and also do not too far from people, we just need to observe their movement. And the other important point is people’s background also can show their experiences and stories, even more interesting compared to their face.
4.Richard Avedon
He was shot lots of famous person, but he also likes to shoot average men and women, in his camera, people need to show their truth. He is good at black-and-white photography, he is very focus on face, poses and definition.
What I learn:
When we take pictures we need pay more attention on the details, and we can make people show their true face, maybe they do not need delicate make up and caparison, also can make photo get enrich.
Still life
My favorite pictures of still life also from Japaness photographer Rinko Kawauchi, when I saw her images I can feel peaceful.
