Jerry Uelsmann’s photos look as if they have been photoshopped, but they have not. He is very skilled in the dark room, creating often eery composite images. His goal is not to show the viewer something familiar, but take them to a new place, a fantasy.
Born in France in 1908, Henri Cartier-Bresson was one of the first photographers to ever use 35 mm film. He shot exclusively in black and white, breaking into the photojournalism world in 1937 when his photos of the coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth were published in the French magazine, Regards. Cartier typically used Leica 35 mm rangefinder cameras with 50 mm lenses or occasionally a wide-angle for landscapes. He sometimes wrapped black tape around his camera’s chrome body to make it less noticeable.

Dorothea Lange was an American documentary-style photographer during the Great Depression. She is especially known for her iconic portrait of a mother and her children, titled “Migrant Mother.” She captured raw emotion and pain that acutely represented the overall feeling of life in America at the time. Her parents were major advocates of exposing her to creativity and art. Following high school, she studied photography at Columbia University. By 1918, Lange ran a successful portrait studio with her husband. She got into documentary photography, photographing people that she came across in the streets. Often, the captions of her photos were the words of the subjects she captured. When America entered WWII, she was hired by the Office of War Information to photograph the internment of Japanese Americans. 
I was very interested in professor Sybil’s video! I had no idea that she created things like that. I also enjoyed seeing the photos from the studying abroad trip and hearing about the trip to Thailand. I am really looking forward to participating in the Photography club! I wasn’t sure before if we had one at St. Edward’s, but I’m so glad we do!
