I think Harry Callahan is an amazing artist for the way that he uses minimalism and the black and white that he uses in his pictures. he was born on October 22, 1912, in Detroit MI. He studied Chemical engineering and business at Michigan State University. Harry Callahan has published many books in his career including Harry Callahan in New England. Some awards that he has won include Guggenheim fellowship for creative arts for U.S. and Canada.
You should know everything that is in your photo. Everything should have a purpose and not be in there by accident. you should use a wider aperture to have a better focus on your focal point.
Photos that use symmetry can make your eyes move to a certain point in the photo. Symmetry can also make your whole photo come together and not make one part of the photo stand out more than others.
Having too much in your photo can cause your photo to be confusing and cause people to have to search for your focal point. Having one main focal point can make your photo more interesting.
You have to make sure that your main focal point is not in the middle of your frame. Using the rule of thirds will make your photo more interesting.
You have to make sure that your main focal point is the main object in the frame and nothing is taking away from the main object. If you have too many focal points in your photo it will become confusing and hard to look at.
Cindy Sherman is one of the most respected photographers in the twentieth century. Most of her artwork is self portraits. I like these photos because it shows her real character and how people live everyday lives in New York. A lot of her photos show her body work and uses herself as a model. more recently she has focused on taking pictures of dolls and prosthetic body parts in highly sexual poses.
