6 Photographers DVD
During the dvd of the 6 photographers, some of them really spoke to me, as opposed to the others. The two that really stood out were Brigette Lacomb and Miru Kim, especially Miru Kim. Lacombs portrait style really helped me explore the possibilities with lighting models, and the way to work with models as well. It's all about making them feel comfortable. Miru Kim's quote "when photographing nude, it makes things less personal" really helped me accept my own work because even though I loved to photograph semi-nude models, a little part of me still felt it was "wrong" because I felt it wasn't accepted. But after hearing what she said, it made everything seem okay in my eyes. Now I take even bigger chances with my work and I don't worry what people think, because at the end of the day I only have myself, and what I can produce. :)

I actually had this response the day after the presentation, I just happened to forget to publish via web. I thought his work was very interesting and compelling to all types of audiences and was extemely pop-culture. Before his show, I always thought it was wrong to do crazy photoshop changes because It's not a true photograph. But then seeing how successful he is doing what he does, it seems okay. I have learned a lot this semester that I need to stop hesitating in my work, because I heard its wrong to do something. I need to want to do something because I feel strongly about it, not because i was told so.
