Tegan Owens is a Yukon born artist. Owens received her
degree from Alberta College of Art and Design in visual media and photography.
She loves to be outside in nature. Most of the time her dog and camera is in
tow. Her photographs have been featured in many magazines, as well as other
outlets. Some of the most well known magazines are Adventure Kayaker, Men’s
Fitness Magazine, and IMPACT Magazine.
A good amount of her photographs are of nature and people exercising.
Her ability to capture the simple beauty in nature is quiet amazing. I am
jealous that Owens is able to go and photograph such beautiful scenery at
anytime. It is not stated (or implied)
why Owens created these particular photographs, other than they are cute
puppies with interestingly, simple shots.
I chose the photos above because of the angles of the shots
and the simplicity. That is what I will take from these shots. Also, well, who
doesn’t like to look at photographs of adorable puppies?
Carolyn Brandt is a lifestyle photographer, which is what I
truly enjoy shooting when I am behind the lens. She is based out of Los Angeles,
CA. Brandt shoot with both a digital camera, as well as, a film camera. Her
determination to photograph not only the happy moments, but the not-so-happy
moments, as well, makes me appreciate her photographs even more. It can get
very boring to see smile after smile when looking at photographs.
The images above were some of my favorites from her
collection. I am very intrigued by her angles and compositions. They are very
interesting and opens my eyes to even more possibilities with angles.
Again, I hope to take her ability to view many more
possibilities of angles and use of light (or lack there of).
Last, but certainly not least, is one of my favorite artists
that I looked into today, Johan Entchev. Entchev is a Finland based self-taught
photographer that produces mainly black and white photographs. I loved every
single one of the photographs that I looked at. All of them were so interesting
with different textures and his use of light and dark is so beautiful.
There is something about a black and white photograph that
can actually make me feel a certain way. The photographs above are documenting
life, but from a much different view than through the eyes.
Entchev’s use of contrast is so beautiful. That is the one
thing that I would like to take with me from viewing his photographs. They are
truly inspiring.
