Man Ray : Photographer

So upon my research in to famous photography, I could only find a select few that really struck my eyes. One of which is an American visual artist named Man Ray or Emmanuel Radnitzky

As a visual artist he created photography pieces that looked quiet like paintings themselves. What intrigued me the most was the resemblance of some of his work to the surrealists artist, Salvador Dali. An artist that is also one of my favorites. These men show an art that sort of disturbs the ideal of reality and in turn give a new look to their art. Below is some of Man Ray’s work as a photographer..

Noire et Blanche

Long Hair

Solarisation

Observatory Time: The Lovers

Dora Maar

Glass Tears

Tristan Tzara

As you can see, his photography is black and white. He uses double exposure as well as many other techniques to give each piece a different mood as well as cool tone and sepia filters. I particularly like “Dora Maar” and “Long Hair” for the haunted feel that is portrayed to the viewers.

None the less, Man Ray is quite the photographer and in such he has inspired many pieces that are equally as interesting.

Assignment 2: 3D

For my Assignment I've decided to upload these photos below as it shows my experience through learning 3D editing. This first photo is probably my least favorite. i love the colors in my suncatchers but because of the background the do not stand out as much as i would like. This next photo is one of my favorites. The clock in the background creates a double image, which does not bode well for the 3D effect. However, i believe it creates and interesting image that really caught my eye. I am undecided on this particular image. while the effect is there, I do not see this as a particularly interesting image to look at. This last photo in my favorite. The image was not very colorful to begin with, but desaturating it makes it stand out so much more.

Photography Exposure

Epcot center (Asia)- kSc What does a photograph mean to you? For me, it is a way to capture exactly what I see in that moment. This could be a memory, a reminder or a time. It could also be a way to capture what you feel in a particular moment. The beauty of it all is that photographs themselves are so simple to look at but can usually entice all different types of emotions. And a person does not need to be a proficient to create these images. One only needs a camera and the means to learn what makes an enticing photo. What A marvelous hobby indeed. Madison Downtown- kSc Within my short life I have found photography to be one of my many artistic escapes. With a camera in my hand, people usually tend to shy away from my lens and as a result, they leave me alone. This is quite the relief for a social outcast like myself. However, I do often enjoy a subject to capture, and when no one else is willing I can find enjoyment in photographing my dearest friend, Madison Alexander. ...

More about the Author

Hello again! Without no further introduction, here is a little but more about me. I grew up and went to high school in Adamsville Tennessee. I never played any sports, but I was heavily involved with my school's art program. This involved taking 2 semesters past the available art classes as well as organizing a super cool glow in the dark art show. I attended Bethel University originally planning to become a nurse. However, after a couple of tries I realized that it just wasn't for me, and switched my major to art. I now plan to get my master's in fine arts after graduation and hopefully one day teach at NYU. Some things to know about me are that I am a huge Harry Potter fan, Slytherin being my house. I enjoy pretty much any music that is not country, but my favorite artist is probably Russ or Korn. I am currently dabbling in tattoos and would love to get an apprenticeship someday. Lastly, I love to travel; New York and New Orleans are my favorite places to be. If you wou...
