Hey girls! Here is a quick sneak peak at one of the amazing female
photographers whose work we will see on our field trip to the Umass art
Museum! These are by Barbara Morgan. She was really interested in
photographing people during performances. There are some really
beautiful shots of movement, body, expression and strength. Do you
think light is important in these images? How do you think the lighting
influences the way we understand these images? Think about the
relationship between the photographer and the performer in these photos.
How is it similar to or different from some of the work we have done?
Do you think these are staged by the photographer or "captured" during a
live performance? We can find out all these answers on the field trip
tomorrow! These will look even more stunning in person. Theres nothing
quite like an original black and white silver gelatin print (before the
digital days!). See you tomorrow!
