Muybridge

in this picture i like the way that a fast
shutter speed has been used to show the
journey that the horse is taking. the fast
shutter speed captures the light quickly
so we can capture each movement and
watch it in a sequence.

Julia Margaret Cameron

Julia Margaret Cameron's seems to be manly
portraits from the shoulders up or family like
photos. Cameron's photos date back to
the 1800s, which explains the renaissance effect to the pictures.
i really like how this picture was taken with a pinhole camera, which
means that the light was trapped in a box with a small hole at the front 
to capture the image that was in front of the box to create a photo.
also i like how the lighting in this picture highlights the face and makes
it stand out more against the darker background

Ralph Gibson

in this image i like the way that the subjects expression is cropped out of the image so we are left wondering, but then the colours used reflect what could potentially be its emotion by the use of black and white. i like the way that the background is solid black and the subjects face stands out and given a white complexion.
