Joseph Niepce- Invented "a light sensitive surface " he was more focused on light and light sources. Eadweard Muybridge- Photographed animals and human movement. He also used his fast photography for science including how horses galloped and to study human motion. Alfred Stieglitz- Used his discomfort about his class and his wife to become a very influential photographer. "The whole scene fascinated me. I longed to escape from my surroundings and join these people..." he describes how it felt to take the photograph. He wanted photography to become a fine art like painting or writing. He like the relationship of shapes, and color and how each could play of the other. This is a photograph by Art Wolfe, it's one of my favorite photographs. I like it because the yellow flowers are such a good contrast for the purple sky. I also love the dark mountains in contrast of the light colored sky. The way the clouds are on one side and the flowers are on the other side bring your eyes from one side to the other. I love everything about this picture.
