Cameron spent a lot of time in Scotland photographing breathtaking vistas during very harsh weather. this particular image was captured in Applecross, Highlands, Scotland. "The scallop shaped depressions are large undulations in the red sand beach and the black scallop shapes are distorted reflections of the silhouetted hills on the far side of the bay." explains Cameron. this shot caught my attention more than the others because it has one of the photographer's signature traits, which is capturing a view that could be interpreted as something else. the depressions on the beach look like peacock feathers rather than just plain sand. his point of view makes landscape photography more interesting to me</span>.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">check out more of Ian Cameron's work: http://www.transientlight.co.uk/index.php</span>veronica sequeirahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04681069101214587516noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-653647527270209325.post-46600339395127186772009-09-30T15:38:00.006-04:002009-09-30T15:45:48.210-04:00on a side note<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwSpCTepZQS5sJsTNu2YBiRO0VQHwwPNzp1qo54W-xs1svM54H3GYZn3P85May2AHpikmaD_YfQBey4TRaQGe68r91JklIwIvrij-ouwQ20wlNrbbfnDXNsct7UOu4UNoWSNozrx5NhwBI/s1600-h/The_birthday_cupcake_by_instantvoodo.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 177px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwSpCTepZQS5sJsTNu2YBiRO0VQHwwPNzp1qo54W-xs1svM54H3GYZn3P85May2AHpikmaD_YfQBey4TRaQGe68r91JklIwIvrij-ouwQ20wlNrbbfnDXNsct7UOu4UNoWSNozrx5NhwBI/s200/The_birthday_cupcake_by_instantvoodo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387348485610191554" border="0" /></a><br /><span style=";font-family:times new roman;font-size:180%;" ><br /></span><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:180%;">i'm twenty years old!</span><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:180%;"></span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">*not my photo</span><br /></div>veronica sequeirahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04681069101214587516noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-653647527270209325.post-41566117142233636342009-09-30T15:11:00.008-04:002009-09-30T15:31:50.206-04:00there's no subtlety when it comes to this one<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNYn5I61c0dB9laa-LTXZtMEdljWDXa-Ep2G5TijN60Lwa8tngsDJZJhcr4qzU1AXE2hSFyvgJ3srAp59ArA_McHKqyNetREXfw50myyNPxltyPr1afffZMjv5wyUVewQDvjdGPtYBEanR/s1600-h/David-LaChapelle-Homotography-Angelina-Jolie%5B6%5D.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 290px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNYn5I61c0dB9laa-LTXZtMEdljWDXa-Ep2G5TijN60Lwa8tngsDJZJhcr4qzU1AXE2hSFyvgJ3srAp59ArA_McHKqyNetREXfw50myyNPxltyPr1afffZMjv5wyUVewQDvjdGPtYBEanR/s400/David-LaChapelle-Homotography-Angelina-Jolie%5B6%5D.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387345399838555202" border="0" /></a><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: georgia;font-family:";font-size:100%;" >The portrait I chose is entitled "Lusty Spring", shot by one of my very favorite photographers, David LaChapelle.

The fact that she is in focus and the background, although vibrant, is blurry, really gives the photo dimension.

I already knew who I wanted to write about before I got there. I’ve always been interested in Martin Schoeller’s work ever since I learned about him in high school. This contemporary, german photographer is well known for working with Annie Leibovitz and for his large scale, close up portraits of celebrities and people. When first walking into his exhibit, it’s a little overwhelming. You’re surrounded by very large, very bright body-less heads floating. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXt-D1MaUduE6fRr2gr8au5TtoLaDS28nrHP3oDc3rJhZf3-iXJafj3YiczhC93m0iX7gSoYmwfO4K4dAxM9_7kMdm0JDibeugSaz97H2fl7mBdvIlKqr4p-HlFN8Hjaswt_kJOYofoDb9/s1600-h/jacknicholson.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 256px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXt-D1MaUduE6fRr2gr8au5TtoLaDS28nrHP3oDc3rJhZf3-iXJafj3YiczhC93m0iX7gSoYmwfO4K4dAxM9_7kMdm0JDibeugSaz97H2fl7mBdvIlKqr4p-HlFN8Hjaswt_kJOYofoDb9/s320/jacknicholson.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385119692537546914" border="0" /></a>Schoeller chose to shoot some of his portraits in black and white, but the ones that striked me the most were the colored photos. Other than the fact that the camera is extremely close to the subject’s face to the point of seeing every wrinkle and imperfection, I think the color photos help to capture even more detail from forehead to chin. The image that stood out to me the most was of Jack Nicholson. I feel like Schoeller very easily could have chosen to capture the actor with his infamous grin, but decided to take another aproach and shoot him with a more serious, straightforward pose, not unlike his other subjects. It’s interesting to see this side of Nicholson. Schoeller portrays the actor as a human being rather than as this persona that he has made for himself. Seeing all the celebrities close up like this makes them rather vulnerable. There’s no hiding behind shades or hats, no caked on makeup to hide their imperfections, it’s refreshing. <span> </span>I definitely recommend this exhibit to you guys, there are also other great images that are part of Portraiture Now that are worth checking out, including Steve Pyke’s outstanding black and white images.veronica sequeirahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04681069101214587516noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-653647527270209325.post-83126521100814613182009-09-15T13:36:00.001-04:002009-09-15T13:51:11.547-04:00geisha and lilies<div style="text-align: justify;">the photo i chose is by a Japanese photographer by he name of T.
