 Tseng Kwong Chi By: Amanda Schaeffer Tseng Kwong Chi  1950-1990                Tseng Kwong Chi has unique portraits that he takes standing awkwardly next to a piece of landscape, building, or even a Disney character. Chi also wears these odd sunglasses that covers his eyes with a doctor like business suite in every photograph. With his plain outfits, Chi also poses next to the attractions with minimal movement. He usually stands straight with his arms and legs straight down and looks at the camera with no facial movement. However, sometimes his portraits are posed but at a different camera angle. When he takes portraits of skyscrapers or buildings in the background, he has the camera angle position to look up at Chi to make him look more powerful. That's what makes his portraits interesting with the use of varies camera angles and how he uses this tactic to show himself with an attraction behind him. It's worth noting tha...

 Robert Frank By: Amanda Schaeffer                I have heard of Robert Frank before, but I couldn't match his photographs to the photographer. When researching about him, I came to the conclusion that Frank was very popular and was an influencer to the photography world. His still photos and American images left a permanent mark in photography and what you can do with it. Frank had his unique artistic style develop in his work and lead him be known to many people. By understanding the image above and his other beautiful photographs, I can get a better understanding on how Robert Frank got to capture those moments in his photography career.             When looking at Robert Frank's work, I can see a repeating pattern. Frank takes more of an American approach on photography. He captures business people, American city life, and the American flag. Even though he is originally from Swi...

  Jonas Bendiksen By: Amanda Schaeffer               Commercial photography is what I ultimately want to do for my career. I have passion for capturing images of significant events such as engagement photos or events to capture a particular time period such as baby pictures or a completed family photo. I want to spread smiles and create happiness for people when they receive their photos from me. That's why when I was looking for a photograph on the website, I wanted to chose one that is in the same niche as I want to be in. I came across Jonas Bendiksen due to the fact I saw this picture first. His page pooped up with family photos, vacation photos, and commercial photos. I was drawn to his simple but beautiful photos that he has taken. I am excited to view more of his work and see what commercial jobs he has done in his career.                When I first saw the photo above, I was amaz...

Marco Breuer By: Amanda Schaeffer               Chemical painting has been a challenge during class. Deciding what substance to use on our paper and where to dip our paintings in, is rather hard. However, it brings about creativity and imagination on what you can make with chemical painting. I picked Marco Breuer to talk about due to the fact that his paintings are rather simple but fascinating at the same time. Some of his chemical paintings looks as if the paper was on fire or burned a little. Also, some of his work seems like you are looking down onto a plain or a piece of land. Breuer's work is quite remarkable and gives me some hope that I can accomplish a good chemical painting if I try hard enough.               I had a hard time picking a piece of Marco Breuer's work out on his website. They all were drawn to me due to their vibrant colors and incredible patterns. Some of the patterns are even shaped...
