My experience of the exhibition made me pay close attention to a lot of detail to the photographs and the photographers style of photography. It opened my eyes to types of things that they like to capture and the emotional aspect of the photos, along with the photographers style of shooting. One of the many things I noticed was the presentation of the artwork. Daniel Karikos photographs were on a long wooden board with no framework, the photographs to me seemed like there take place after hurricane Katrina. The photos all had some type of house that was destroyed in a deserted highway or land with garbage and objects lying around it. Tracy Longley Cook images all seemed to be a bit blurry, although it seemed she made them to be that way. Her images were all black and white including the framework, which was black. In all of Tracy's photos she had one persons body part in the image, wheater it being an arm or a feet. There images were simple and didn't have much detail to the work. Ryan Adrick's work consisted of having one person in almost every image he had, his work was very vibrant and it had a lot of color to it. I also noticed with his work that he liked to photograph graffiti, and liked having a lot of negative space in his images. Also his images were surrounded with wooden framework. Lastly John Mann's images dealt with a lot of outside photography, capturing a lot of bright green grass with color. All his images seemed to have dealt with someone being outside and being alone. A lot of the titles of his work had to do with being alone, or being outside alone. John's images were surrounded by a black frame just like Tracy's.
My choice of artwork was this piece, by Ryan Adrick's. Mainly because this was the first piece of work that caught my eye as soon and I walked in the door. The reason I really like his work along with this image his because he like to use a lot of bright color that pops and catches to audiences eye, the color that really draws my attention is the bright blue and the white-ness of the church. I also really like that there is a lot of lighting on the church, it really opens my eyes and make me focus on the church along with the blue background. Another thing that I noticed is that there is a lot of detail in the church. They church was constructed very well and it has picture detail and architecture detail. A lot of the shapes being used to construct the church it seems to me they used mostly triangle and square design, along with a couple circles and arches.
I think that the photographer toke this photo mainly because they liked the architecture and how the lighting was and the sky was at the time when he was taking the photo. I know from my experience of being a photographer I would have taking this picture mainly because of the sky and the color of the sky. It really catches my eye and makes me like at the photo in a "wow" kind of way. The photographer may also have taken this photo because they are stepping outside of what they usually shoot, which is taking images of people. Additionally I think that it could have been because the building holds a lot of detail and along with maybe this building has some type of meaning to the photographer. He toke the photo in Italy and he might travel there a lot and so he might have visited this building many times and wanted to capture the photo in a different angle with the sky looking so bright and vibrant.
