Garrett Mowers Style photos

The first photographer that I picked was Sarah Malakoff. Sarah photographs the architecture that contains the lives of people she says her “imagery is a window onto our needs to build a nest to create an illusion of safety and warmth or a way to recall that really were that way”. Sarah tries to capture everything that might be in somebody’s livening space there décor, pets what is outside the windows of the rooms. As Malakoff tries to get all forces that go into a room the unrest, refugee, anxiety, curiosity, fear and the calm. Malakoff takes images that relate to our world and the relation of people as she sets the images for the calm that are in our homes when people are not around. Sarah Malakoff just does not take pictures of dark rooms she take picture with the room lighted up and full of lights and shadows. Malakoff also takes pictures of not just people rooms she takes pictures of common areas Malakoff tries to show the quietness of our homes as she is trying to show if we domesticate our surrounding or if our surroundings domesticate us and she tries to let people find themselves in the quiet

            The next photographer that I choose is Brian Harrison he is a photographer that works for several major interior magazines. Brian works with a Fuji GX-680 Mk III as he says it gives him flexibility of his photographs he also uses different lighting equipment that he owns a broncolor power pack system with two normal heads and one high output head that generates 8000 J discharge and he also carries a tungsten light that he use to try and create sunlight on cloudy days. The main thing that he tries to do is making it look like sunshine is coming through the windows rather if that is from real sun or artificial light. He tries not to use the tungsten light when possible as  he wants the natural  light to be the real light source When he is photographing  he tries not to take pictures with an aperture wider than eleven and a shutter speed between one and eight seconds. One thing that makes his pictures unique is his use of the light as he makes the picture his own and he whether there is natural or artificial light.

            My final photographer is Candida Hofer who is also an architecture photographer. Candida has focused on the interiors of places that are seen as cultural life.  Hofer use color imagines with a 6mm and 35mm cameras to take her imagines. Hofer only uses natural light when she is taking her imagines when she  is photographing she tries to take pictures of empty libraries, restaurants, lecture halls, theater and other places where people often visit and spend time in. Hofer also tries to print her images in 15x22.5. What makes her pictures unique is that when she is photographing she use natural light and there are also no people in the images that she takes which makes her similar to the other artist that I have picked.
