Evan Tetreault (chosen photographer)

Evan Tetreault is a photographer from hartford, CT. his photography is mostly fashion/ portrait, dispite still being in college evan has worked with; puma, the new york times, richard branson, a$ap rocky, urban outfitters and lorde. he prefers to use film over digital because he thinks "film is about making an image, its more hands on, digital is kind of a cop out."

evan started off by wanting to create a photo diary, he started by taking landscapes, pictures of friends or anything he found aesthetically pleasing,  Evan developed his style through using white tones in contrast with warm skin tones and shooting candid shots as opposed to staged settings.

in this picture a man is throwing a bag up to a woman in an apartment.

i like this picture because it looks like hes really captured the moment, the mans shadow looks like its connected to the soles of his shoes. almost everything in the photo is the same colour, the buildings, the street the mans clothes are all concrete grey.

gregory crewdson

Gregory Crewdson is an American photographer known for his staged photography of American suburbs and neighborhoods. Crewdson grew up in Brooklyn, new york and attended  John Dewey High School, in the 70s he was in a punk band that was popular in the new york scene, their song “let me take your picture” was featured in a camera advert.

After his band broke up he moved on to study photography in the 80s, He received his Master of fine arts from Yale University after he received his degree he went on to teach at the Yale University School of Art.

In 2012 Ben Shapiro directed a film called “Gregory crewdson: brief encounters” about crewdon, the film opened at south by south west on march 10^th, it was met with praise from critics and fans.

Crewdson focuses on the American suburb but adding a surreal element to the photo, his photographs are incredibly elaborate, often taking months to create with large sets and big crews, his production is very similar to a major film production. Crewdson has often praised the david lynch and Hitchcock films blue velvet and vertigo for influencing his style.

this is my favorite picture of crewdsons. Because there is so much going on, the framing and the perspective in the shot is similar to some of the shots in Stanley kubricks film 2001.

This is a very surreal photograph, because everything looks peaceful and still but the room is flooded and the woman is floating on the water, possibly even dead

2001

this photo is very similar to the second one, it’s a normal looking American neighborhood but theres a semi-nude character standing infront of this woman and her daughter in the car, almost as if they were an alien, the woman has dropped one of her shopping bags on the floor out of shock

Henri Cartier-Bresson

Henri Cartier-Bresson was a french photographer who popularized photojournalism. he used 35mm film, he helped start real life reportage/ street photography.
Cartier was born into a well off french family and studied art and trained as a painter. he only started his carreer in photography in the early 1930s after a visit to the ivory coast. he was the oldest of 5 children, his family were landowners and cotton merchants in Normandy, where he spent most of his childhood.

his first photojournalism photos were published in 1937, by a french magazine, called regards, he was hesitant to use his full name so he went by "cartier". the photos were of the coronation of king George, there were no actual photos of the king, they were mostly crowd shots of london. after the war cartier went on to focus on the tragedies of life.

during the early 70s bresson retired from photography and focused on painting and drawing, bresson said that he kept his camera locked in a safe and only took it out for the occasional portrait.

Cartier used a leica 35 mm rangefinder cameras equipped with 50mm lenses or a wide-angle for landscapes, He would wrapped black tape around the camera's frame to make it less conspicuous. He never photographed with flash as he thought it was rude. cartiers visual style focused around catching movement as it was happening. he never took a colour photograph, his work was entirely in black and white
