Someone I Sorta Don't Really Know

sebastiao salgado by Zach

Sebastiao Salgado is a Brazilian photographer

Sebastiao traveled to many different countries all over the world to take his photos. 

I really like how all of his photos really capture the mood and the feeling of what is going on. 

I like how they bring a lot of things to light.

They all work a lot with the idea of the immigrant. 

Artist Profile--Atiba Jefferson

-He originally focused on skateboard photography, and later branched out to other sports after he became notorious in the skateboarding culture.

-He has been a photographer for fifteen years after high school, and was the main administrator for "The Skateboard Mag"--a staple in the skateboard community.

-Atiba prides himself in his skateboard photography because timing is essential, there is only one moment when the photo is perfect, and you have to nail it.

-Skateboard photography is also a struggle because he works for the skaters, not the other way around. So it is a combination of skill, timing, and commitment--just like skateboarding itself.

Mark Klett by Zach

Klett's photographic work focuses on explorations of man’s interaction with the American landscape
His writing on his photographs really makes them seem a lot more personal
I really like how the photos are very plain and are not very busy.
