| Another Photo of Hers |
1) I chose this image because I like the angle that it's taken at, and how the photographer focused on the subject. The contrast of blacks and whites caught my eye.
2) This photo looks like it came from a movie or T.V. show, but Cindy Sherman positioned herself in a way meant to showcase the way photos can allow you to become something you're not. In this photo, Cindy Sherman took this self-portrait as a type of performance art.
3) Cindy Sherman took this photo as a self-portrait, used to change her identity. The photo is meant to captivate viewers with pictures in familiar places, but to deceive them at the same time. The subject of her photos was always herself, but she changed the way she looked, or her identity.

5) Cindy Sherman was born January 19, 1954 in Glen Ridge, New Jersey. She attended the State University College at Buffalo, New York.

1) I chose this image because I like the simplicity, yet depth of it. The action/motion of the photo is what caught my eye.
2) Harold Edgerton put a milk dropper next to a timer and his camera and successfully caught the milk dropping in mid-motion. He learned how to combine camera tricks to capture movements barely noticeable to the human eye. He used lighting and a very high shutter speed to get this photo just right.
3) Harold Edgerton began coming up with a way to change photography in the 1950s. He figured out how to use stop-motion to freeze the impact of objects for just long enough to capture that image.

5) Harold Edgerton was born April 6, 1903 in Fremont, Nebraska, and died January 4,1990. He attended the University of Nebraska for his bachelor's degree, but attended MIT for his master's and doctoral degrees.

1) I chose this image because I like the simplicity of the background and how the colors in the picture are used and highlighted. The impossibility of the shot is what captured my eye.
2) Co Rentmenster captured Michael Jordan soaring through the air about to make a basket with his legs and arms stretched out in opposite directions. Nike actually paid Rentmenster to temporarily use the photo on the first Air Jordan shoes.
3) Nike continued putting this image on products that they produced, and now it's a commercial icon, that's very easily recognized. Rentmentster sued Nike for using the photo, but the profit is still coming in for Nike.

5) Co Rentmenster was born February 28, 1936 in Amsterdam. Co Rentmenster attended the Art Center College in Los Angeles.

1) I chose this image because I like the repetition and symmetry-like pattern of the store. The amount of items and colors is what captured my eye.
2) This photo was taken at a 99 Cents Store Only in Las Angeles, to look like there were an endless amount of products. The photograph was edited by stitching photographs together to resemble an abstract art way of photography.
3) This photo took everyday tasks and turned them into art that's visually appealing. The photo was very popular, and sold for $2.3 million.

5) Andreas Gursky was born January 15, 1955 in Germany. He studied at Essen at the Folkwang Academy.
1) I chose this image because I like the angle at which it was taken, and I like how you can see the emotions of the men moving the gorilla in this picture. The contrast of colors and symmetry is what caught my eye.
2) It took over a dozen men to lift this 500 pound gorilla, named Senkwekwe, in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Many endangered gorillas live in the national park in which Senkwekwe was shot.
3) This photo took place in 2007, after people were illegally harvesting wood for the charcoal industry. Just a few weeks after this photo was published, many African countries signed a treaty to help protect gorillas.
