  3. I thought I would throw up a link to Tyler Stalman's blog, he is an amazing photographer who shoots stocks images for istockphoto and before shooting photos for them he was a designer their. I have been following him for a while and he is constantly releasing tutorial/documentation of his photographic process.

  4. Here is photographer that I have been following for a while now. I love the simplicty of the photographs, but they still have this rich feeling with the color. His compositions are great, and different from the regular photograph. He takes the rule of thirds to a whole nother level in some of them!

  5. This is a designer I came across last year. His name is Storm Thorgerson and I came across him at Half Price Books looking at an album artwork book. The book was all his work and I was surprised by how many covers I easily recognized. He's done album artwork for about forty-five years and almost all of his work is photographs. If I were to choose one word to describe most of his work I'd say epic. Some of the places he takes his photos are really wild

    on the website check out the anecdotes link and the work link. There is recent work under the anecdotes and some sketches for some of his work and in the work section it breaks down into "non-moving", "partially moving" and "moving". Most of his stuff is in the non moving. He covers quite a bit: logos, album covers, posters, advertisement, etc. etc.

  6. real fake is the professional retouching that is part of rush/wade2, the photography studio we'll be visiting later in the semester.

    denis darzacq, the french photographer i mentioned who has a series of "floating people". amazing stuff.

    mark menjivar has a great series of photos of refrigerator interiors that are really interesting. be sure to read the captions.

    edward burtynsky makes beautiful photos of terrible intrusions into the earth.

    and finally...
    invisible creature utilizes some amazing photo retouching/collage work in their music packaging. the link is for a band called norma jean, but also check out "the chariot" and "bleeding through". these guys do all-around amazing design work too.

  7. I have found this photographer to be very intriguing through the use of scene in order to tell more of a story through each photo. An icon can be found in most if not all of his work with the strong support of symbol and index for more context. He is interesting in subject matter and the lengths in which he takes in order to create each image.

  8. Poking around the internet, I discovered Matthew Albanese.

    He makes realistic looking landscapes from household materials at diorama scale.
