Master Photographers- Write up



Master Photographers

We had to choose 4 photographers and take 2 photos from each. We had to answer 2 questions based on 2 photos. This is one example of the photographer I enjoyed researching the most.



1. The artist that I have chosen is Robert Bergman who took the photo above in 1995. This photo does not have a title to it. The photograph is a photo of a homeless man or someone who would be poor. The subjects hair is messy and doesn't look so clean. A lot of Robert Bergmans photos of homeless people or people who don't have a lot of money.  

2. The setting of this place looks like it's somewhere outside because he is wearing a jacket and the background doesn't look like a house. The subject looks homeless or doesn't have a lot of money cause of the clothing and doesn't look so clean. The subject looks poor his hair is messy, his clothes aren't very matching, he looks dirty and from the expression on this subjects face. The photograph shows that the photographer has probably an upset mood quit a lot because all of his photos have this facial expression. The photographer is also probably trying to just make a point. The artist uses normal colors with a focus of light on the subjects face. The artist also uses a portrait frame and the rule of thirds.

 



Robert Bergman is a photographer of portraits. The portraits that he takes are in the rule of 3rds and only go up to the chest of the subject and the head. In all the photos the photos are focused only on the subject with a blurry background. All the photos that are on the website are of homeless people and how dirty they are. His photos are very beautiful because they let you think about the rest of the world around us. All his photographs are in color.
