Feature Shoot Review


Feature Shoot:KATERINA KAMPRANI


(Katerina Kamprani)

I really like the layout of Feature Shoot, it does not seem like a blog at first glance. It is also very simple and clean, which I like because it makes my life easier. I opened this article because the objects in the images were normal everyday items that have been distorted. I had to see more of the pictures, although they are unsettling, I couldn't help but stare at each image for a while. Katerina started this series as an "uncomfortable project" and I think the she hit the nail on the head. She has taken things we use/see daily and changed their appearance and function. We take the tools we have available to us for granted and she wanted the people to view her work to realize the importance of small things. I love her art. Its very unique and interesting to look at. I could sit down and scroll through 100s of images like these.

Light Leaked Review

Light Leaked: Lori Nix
(Lori Nix, Botanic Garden 2008)

I love the layout of the blog, it is very easy to navigate and it does not strain my eyes to look at it. I like that the articles came right up so I did not have to search for them. I read this article because of the first two pictures I saw. I saw the image above and thought it looked cool so I continued to scroll down. The image that followed this the one above revealed that it is actually a small set with many lights surrounding it that make it look like natural lighting. I was very intrigued by these images so I had to read about the artist. Lori Nix has been building small scale models, like the one above, to photograph for more than 20 years. Her work is represented in many galleries, some even in other countries. Each project takes Lori and her partner, Kathleen, around 7 months to complete. They both work normal day jobs and work on their artwork at night and on the weekends. I love their work. I think it is incredible how realistic, but magical it looks. Their pieces of art are like images from a dream; a slightly distorted reality.

Panorama Project


BOOOOOOOM! review

(Danté Belt)

I chose this photograph, because it is very intriguing. I am not quite sure what I am looking at. I am usually not interested in images like this, but this picture is very interesting to look at. I just really want to know where this was taken and what it is a picture of.
