Name of Photographer
Where I found the photographers
My opinion of their work
Max Alpert:


 Book:
Name-Photographers A-Z
By-Hans Michael Koetzel
I really liked Max Alpert’s photography because it shows detail within the buildings that you don’t normally notice in everyday life. This photographer could be good to use throughout my photography work to support formal elements as it shows good use of lines.
Lewis Baltz:
 
Book:
Name-Photographers A-Z
In Lewis Baltz photos he uses a variety of black and white images showing a range of tones. However I don’t think I would use this photographer because I think I would find the images quite boring to look at if I was going to have to study them further.

John Batho:
Book:
Name-Photographers A-Z
By-Hans Michael Koetzel
I found John Batho images very interesting to look at because they are very colourful.  Some of his images are black and white but still involve colour as he has included colour objects. Therefore this photographer would be one I would consider using further on because it shows clear understanding a use of colour throughout his photographs.

Peter Beard:








Book:
Name-Photographers A-Z
By-Hans Michael Koetzel
Peter Beard photographs are concentrated on animals mainly. Some of the images include examples of patterns. However they are not focused enough on the formal element of patterns and some of the photos are of hunting scenes which I did not like and would not like to use to represent formal elements in photography.

John Cowan:

Book:
Name-Photographers A-Z
By-Hans Michael Koetzel
I enjoyed looking at John Cowan’s photos because they were very different to other photographs that I have seen before.  These images do not really fit into formal elements so I don’t think I will use this photographer. However I do really like his work.

Patrick Demarchelier:







Book:
Name-Photographers A-Z
By-Hans Michael Koetzel
Patrick’s images were interesting because I like fashion and portraits used in photography. These images were very similar to each other and didn’t really experiment apart from using different poisons. I will not be using this photographer.  
Alfred Ehrhardt:      



















Book:
Name-Photographers A-Z
By-Hans Michael Koetzel
The nature images taken by Alfred Ehrhardt are a perfect example of natural patterns. I will use this photographer to support formal elements because there is clear use of pattern in the images and they are also interesting and usual.
Erwin Fieger:


Book:
Name-Photographers A-Z
By-Hans Michael Koetzel
These images show good examples of blurring in photography. I like this photographer’s work because I think the blurring technique has been shown very clearly through the marching of the moving soldiers. However I don’t think I will use this photographer because I feel there are better images from other photographers.

Franco Fontana:











Book:
Name-Photographers A-Z
By-Hans Michael Koetzel
Franco Fontana’s photos show a variety of different colours within each image, placed next to one another. This is a very good example of how colour can be used in photography. Therefore I will be using this photographer.
Peter Keetman:
















 Book:
Name-Photographers A-Z
By-Hans Michael Koetzel
A lot of the photographs taken by Peter show all different types of shapes, I like these images because the objects are all different shapes and sizes showing a huge range of different shapes. I would definitely consider using this photographer further in my work.
