Photo II: Phamous Photogs!

I couldn't decide on one...so I chose two! David LaChapelle and Robert Trachtenberg, but I'll be focusing more on Trachtenberg.


LaChapelle's site: LaChapelle Studio
Trachtenberg's site: Robert Trachtenberg Studio


I like his work because it is kind of crazy! It's weird the way he does his portraits...they kind of make you think...why? But that's cool, to have to think about the photo. I wouldn't expect these celebrities to do the activities he has them photographed doing, but his pictures are still pretty awesome. He starting taking photographs in the 1980's.

My second selection is a photographer by the name of Robert Trachtenberg. His photos are much more "mellow" than LaChapelle's, but I really like them a lot. I think it's because they are sort of peaceful and simple, yet they draw your attention to them.  They also show the personality of the model. Trachtenberg photographs for many magazines like Rolling Stone and Entertainment Weekly. I could not find when he started taking pictures, but here is some of his work that caught my eye:

For  this project, I chose to take pictures of kids that I babysit. It was fun for me because I love the way they think and their outlooks on life. It was also intriguing because I couldn't wait to see what the pictures were going to look like when I developed it.

PORTRAIT PROJECT

These are pictures of the music pastor's baby at my church.  

 I love this first photo because it shows the not-so-appealing side of a baby, but I still think it's cute. This baby is great and he usually doesn't cry, but right here he had just woken up from his nap. :)

This second photo is sort of interesting because it doesn't look like he has a facial expression figured out and you can really see the detail in his left eye.

I love this picture, too, because it shows what a happy and joyful baby he is. He almost never cries and is most definitely a PK (Pastor's Kid). 

This picture is probably one of my favorites because this is the face he always makes and it makes me wonder what he is thinking about. 

This picture is one of my favorites too because I love the look in his eyes. He's actually looking at his big brother, whom he loves a lot, as you can tell! It's also cool because it's a natural smile.

The more pictures I take, the more I love photo!
