Week 5: Photography

This week's lecture deals with Photography and I was amazed by all of the work that was shown in the slide show. The main theme throughout the lecture is about how light is being used when photographing people or scenery. Gregory Crewdson and Jeff Wall effectively achieve this process and you can see in their work, Untitled (Ray of Light), 2001 and After 'Invisible Man' by Ralph Ellison, the Prologue respectively. These techniques reminded me of a photo I took in Arizona as my family and I were going to visit the Grand Canyon. On our way there, we stopped to take some pictures of the Hoover Dam and I was able to get a very bright shot of the dam take a look.
