His concentration based around slow shutter speed and light. I liked this portfolio because the photographer used light in an interesting way, this portfolio shows different photography compositions and they are also unique. I think that it would be fun to use light as an object to take creative images.

This photographer also used light as an object along with a person. He used light and people to demonstrate how humans can interact with technology to create art. Im also attracted to this portfolio because it has many different patterns and colored lights, it looks very interesting and well put together.

Julianne based her concentration around framing objects to create an interesting image. I like that this portfolio is a bit edgy and simple. She used different things to frame a subject and then blurred the surrounding. Its very interesting to see how she used magnifying glasses and lenses to emphasize an object.

The photographs basically showed the streets of New York City. He explored parts of the city that were “unknown” to most people. His photographs are engaging because they all seem to be very vibrant and they show culture in an interesting way. He made and took photographs by capturing portraits of people and capturing them doing their daily activities. I think he is a good photographer because he used many ways to present culture to the viewer. He not only used portraits to show a persons culture but he also photographed their surroundings. The photographer often photographed architecture and graffiti to give us an idea of what part of the city they lived in.

This photographer depicted what happened to certain communities after communism was eradicated. He mostly photographed children and how they and their surroundings were affected. I enjoyed this photographer although I liked how his pictures look more than the idea that he wanted to show. Some of his pictures he made and others he took. Most of his pictures give off a the feeling of solitude and desperation. I think they are good because you can really tell the idea of his photograph.

The photographer depicted a city and culture in an unique way. The photographs caught my eye because they subject is blurred and the background is the only thing in focus. It really makes me wonder what the people looked like. All his photographs are made. I think this was a really cool way of capturing culture and the city. the pictures are mostly taken at night making the street lights stand out.
