Four photographers put the exhibition of adapting spaces in the works by establishing a connection between all theirs works. All four of their works were displayed on the walls; each artist had their own wall to display their series of different photographs. Each photographer’s work was completely different from the next; each artist has a different approach on their photography and why they do what they do. The only artist’s work that I believed could be understood by the viewer was Daniel Kariko, his panoramas of different areas of Louisiana showed the different effects that nature has had on material things, the other three artist although their work was creative and nice to look at, the artist was the only one that knew the story. If they did not tell the story you would not know what they were trying to reveal. Daniel Kariko was the only artist in the show that decided to show his work in a panorama and there was no framing around his. I believe the work is cohesive in its own way, although each artist photographs different things, I believe they make it work by adapting spaces, meaning using their surrounding to their ability and adapting and taking great photographs in their space.

The colors in this photograph above are natural shades of green and brown. The technique used to create the photo was strictly from using a camera and his surroundings; you can tell the image is not digitally manipulated in any form. The focus of the camera is focused in one spot on the photograph. There are three sections to this picture, the ground, the sky, and the center. The frame is black to control where the viewer looks and so the viewer can focus on the picture and not what the picture is framed in. The photographer’s intention was mainly for the viewers to focus on the center of the photograph. I feel like I can be inside the picture its almost like the picture is a circle after staring at it for awhile.

I really liked John Mann’s photograph of the tree standing alone, I really do feel as though I am standing right in front of the tree looking at it. It makes me think that out of all the trees this one endured the toughest battles and overcame them all and is still standing, although there are little bushes of trees and taller trees father in distance, this one stands alone. It’s standing alone and battling all the weather that comes at it, I feel as though the way the picture is taken really shows the viewers how beautiful the space really is, there’s a bright light that focuses just above the tip top of the tree, its hard to explain how it makes me exactly feel, when I am looking at the picture I feel a sense of calmness overtaking me, and making me focus just on the tree, its almost relaxing to just sit there and look at it. I feel as though the artist wanted people to be able to connect with the tree in their own way and thats exactly how I feel about the tree.
