Joshua Hoffine

I really like the idea of staged photography. He treats his frames like a movie set; combining things like elaborate set designs, costumes, make-up, lighting, etc. The use of Photoshop is supposedly very limited in all of these pictures. He's a personal favourite of mine and a total inspiration to myself and my work. Please have a looksy!!!

Andrew Moore

After Kristin posted about Wendy Burton's photos and Erichka mentioned Detroit in the comments, I remembered this photog from the last issue of Aperture:

Wendy Buton

I found Wendy Burton's photos after looking at Jen Davis' page and looking at her links she had on her website. I wish I could find places like this to take pictures!

I HEART HOLGAS!!!

I really enjoy taking surreal photos and really enjoy the pictures I get using my holga, even though they're so cheaply made. I recommend that everyone try using one at least once. Here are some examples of pictures taken with holgas

Ah, those crazy photographers...

Some amusing pictures of photographers photographing.

A website I stumbled upon

I had just received the new issue of photographer's Forum the other day and while reading it there was an add for a new website that has a bunch of tips on careers, techniques and also sells photography materials. I'm still checking this website out but it seems to be a nice interesting site.

Photographer Chic

I found this in a magazine last week. Who knew that looking like a photographer was so fashionable. They can have the bag; I rather have the Leica :)

Michael Kenna

I stumbled across Michael Kenna while doing the emulation assignment from intro. He's done some interesting night photography, and does a lot of work with long exposures.

Art Clokey Died (sad face)

You might be saying to yourself, "Hey! What does Gumby have to do with Art 326?"
Film production has strong relations to our medium and stop motion has a direct connection to still photography....

Besides, who can honestly say they don't like Gumby?

RIP Art Clokey

The "King"

Someone reminded me that it was Elvis' birthday today and I thought of this.

Welcome!

Welcome to The Intermediate Photography class blog.

As a first post I'd like to introduce you to the amazing work of photographer Michael Hall.
Michael Hall

Hall's muted color palette is compelling and helps to convey his broader message through small patches of mildly saturated colors. Look through his web site and see how his use of color affects his larger concept.
