Gallery Review

The first photographer is Sebastiao Salgado and his exhibit or his group of photos is called “The Eye of the Photojournalist” and it was taken in the early 1990s. It depicts a story of these group of people, in black and white, working all day at an oil field. Some photos showed people in a state of exhaustion and also shows a wide angle view of a person or a place. they had some exposure to show the details on the person. The images were also sharp and each photo clearly focuses on one subject that relates to each other. I believe that the photographer’s intention was to show how stressful and hard it is for people who work constantly everyday. Overall, I enjoyed the photos he displayed.

The next photographer is Ansel Adams and his photos are “Classic Images” His photos consist of outdoor portraits of mostly nature and a few people here and there. Some of his photos had a town with an evening sky and some even had mountains with clouds hovering over them and I thought that looked awesome. The photographer’s intention was to show how beautiful nature is in both daylight and nightfall. I believe his other intention was to show natural habitats and towns that are not anyway related to a city with technology. The photos had sidelight with an extensive depth of field and they show a  calm and peaceful atomosphere.

The last photographer is Stephen Shore and his Photos are taken around Israel and Ukraine. Most of these photos consist of subjects that are inanimate objects or people. Some have close-up of an object and some are wide ranges such as buildings or the road. These photos, unlike the previous two, have color and they are taken mostly outside. The photographer’s intention was to demonstrate how live is for the middle-eastern with riots and wars happening over there. There is natural light and most are straight up taken rather being taken at an angle.

    Salgado and Adams are interesting photographers to have seen on the same day. Both use high contrast black and white to define their style. One concentrates on people and the other landscape. And they are from different time periods-Adams working mostly in the 40s to 60s while Salgado is still alive and working. But stylistically there is a strong similarity.
