Jim Brandenburg
Jim Brandenburg takes a lot of pictures of nature. I like this particular picture because it focuses on the wolf and blurs the background. The intent of this photograph is to capture the wild life of a wolf. This picture shows texture of the tree's bark and wolf's fur. It also shows depth, and the color is mellow. The doesn't show any motion. I find this picture very peaceful.
Walker Evans
Walker Evans does a really good job of capturing emotion. This picture would be an example of photographic art, i've seen this photo framed in multiple people's homes. This photo clearly shows the passion between the two dancers. It's a very dramatic picture. The emphasis is on the silhouette of the dancers, but the shadow adds to the motion, and the cobble street does a good job of showing texture.
Annie Leibovitz
Annie Leibovitz is known for her portraits of people. This could be considered a documentary photograph, because it has captured a snapshot of someone's life. The intent of this picture is to show emotion. This photograph does a nice job of showing depth, by letting the light shine into the room and highlighting the girl. It also does a good job of contrasting light colors from the window with the dark color of the wall.
Dorothea Lange
Dorothea Lange's photographs are both insightful and compassionate. She has a profound influence on the development of modern documentary. This photograph is a documentary, showing the lifestyle of a family living in poverty. The intent of this picture is to show emotion. The mom looks overwhelmed, but still needs to support her two children who depend on her. The photograph emphasis is shown by using black and white in the picture. Color would give the picture a whole different mood. The emotional impact of this photograph invokes sorrow.
