Photographers and painters i like




















The first photo was taken by Steve McCurry, a photographer know for taking photos all overseas. Steve was born in Philadelphia. A lot of his work appears inNational Geography. I like his work because he focuses on people in poor countries and is able to show pain and sadness in his photos.

The second picture was taken by Annie Leibovitz who was born October 2, 1949 in Westbury, CT. She has worked for many magazines such as Rolling Stones and Vanity Fair and focuses many on celebrities. I like how in a lot of her work, like the one i have posted, replicates disney movies or fairy-tale movies and she uses celebrities as her models. This one is set up to look like Peter Pan.

The third piece was done by portrait painter of the name Pamela Jaffe. She focuses mainly on children when she paints her portraits. I love the work she does because of how detailed she is and the way she is able to make the painting look like a picture.

The last photo is the work of another photographer that caught my attention. Her name is Caroline Zenker. She is not a famous photographer so there is not much i can find about her. Her work is very retro and vintage which is why i definitely like her work. Her work is so simple but has such beautiful color and meaning.
