Pete Turner is best known as one of the first masters of colored photography. His reach and influence on other photographers, along with people who simply see his photos is absolutely outstanding. Many of his photos were seen to alter reality, because they were so well compostitioned.

My personal opinion on Pete Turner’s work is that it is absolutely outstanding. Many photographers do not use the vibrant colors and sharp contrast in the images like Turner does. I am a person that enjoys colors which is why I find his work so interesting. To be completely honest, i had never heard of Pete Turner before this assignment, and I was googling all of the other photographers prior to coming upon his work. Many of the other photographers I came across were very similar, they were either dark or had very little color and quite frankly were boring and uninteresting to look at. However, when i googled Turner’s images, I immediately knew he was the photographer I wanted to analyze. The bright colors drew me in in such a way that i could not help but continue to look at his photos over and over again. Perhaps my favorite photo by him is New Dawn-Heimaey. This photo is absolutely outstanding, the bright colors in the sky along with the contrast of the darkness down below makes this photo absolutely amazing. However, this is not his only photo that is like this, almost his entire collection is amazing colorful pictures with this fantastic contrast. Many other colored photographers have tried to emulate

Gary Winogrand’s photography career began when a friend introduced him to it in 1948 while taking painting classes at Columbia University. After Winogrand’s first exposure to the darkroom, he abandoned painting and “never looked back.” Winogrand became extremely emerged in photography and felt that nothing else in life mattered. He dropped out of college to pursue his passion. Earning an average of ninety cents per week, he had a difficult yet determined beginning. Winogrand did not concern himself with issues that were affecting society and therefore did not always appeal to the mass public. Winogrand’s long and successfully debatable career experienced many turns and obstacle that ultimately led him to become one of the most noted photographers of the late twentieth century.

The most significant thing that makes his art standout is how he cleverly supports something or someone, or criticizes something or someone or even make the people question their surrounding environment.

Ryan McGinley’s earliest photography days from from 1998 to 2003 are the showcase of the exhibit. According to MCA Denver, “The photographs present intimate moments of both exhilaration and introspection, often within a mundane setting, and demonstrate a sweeping range of emotions. McGinley’s works capture the essence of his lifestyle at the time: gritty, daring, and focused on moments of both pleasure and tedium, as well as illicit activities. Un-staged and unedited, McGinley’s use of light imbues all of the works with an intensity and profound emotional depth.” McGinley’s way of portraying exact moments with unedited raw footage, is what makes his photography so relatable in a sense. McGinley’s work displays the recklessness his tightknit friend group lived by. He captured the lives of his transgressive friends, the drama in their lives, and brought together his audience with highly intimate

Vincent Van Gogh never gave up his style and insight in his early work compared to his later work. I will discuss the comparison of the Potato Eaters and Starry Night and even though there are obvious differences, the core of his passion and eccentricities can be seen.

Stieglits also wrote a journal called Camera Work featuring the works of other pictorialists in his era.
