I was inspired by Gilbert Grosvenor, the National Geogrphic photographer. He took lots of nature photos, rather than pictures of human and that was impressive.

Caleb Joyce - Pictorialism

The Pictorialists would smear vaseline on their lenses and do other things to manipulate the process of taking pictures to achieve a different look than just straight-up photography. I used cellophane to protect my lens and then smeared vaseline on it to change the 'stroke' pattern.

With this picture I wanted to see if I could use the vaseline to give the fire hydrant emotion. I was going for 'sadness'. I smeared it in a circular pattern, trying to give a droopy look towards the top. I wanted to make sure there wasn't anything else in the picture to achieve a lonely feel, adding to the idea of sadness.

For this picture I chose a scene one might see in a painting and then smeared the vaseline in the same direction the railing was going to simulate the brush strokes that a painter might use to paint this scene. I also used vaseline to create a vignette type look around the edges.

I was inspired by Ansel Adam and his perspective on nature. I tried to incorporate his wide frames, contrast and interesting details.

Rachel Skinner - Paul Strand

Shutter: 1/500

ISO: 800
Aperture: f/4.5
Shutter: 1/60

Paul Strand uses a lot of shapes, shadows, textures in his photo. He captured photos like they are without any edits. His photos were mainly black and white, so that is why I made mine black and white. He took the photo by using simply the camera.  I wanted to incorporate the use of shadow and texture in my photos just like Paul did.

Hannah VanKampen- Ansel Adams

F/5.6  1/160 Iso100

F/4.5 1/200 Iso100

I chose photographer Ansel Adams as my inspiration for these photos. He took black and white pictures of American landscape- specifically areas like Yellowstone National Park. I chose to take pictures of the landscape around me, and show how human influence is affecting nature.

McKenna Walter - Paul Strand

 ISO 6400     Shutter speed 1/80     F5

ISO 800     Shutter speed 1/125     F7.1

These pictures were inspired by Paul Strand's work. I tried to incorporate his use of shadows, lines, and sharpness into my pictures. I also made them black and white to reflect the b&w photography style of his day. My favorite thing about Paul Strand is that he looked at ordinary, everyday objects in a new way. 

Maddie Kanis - Alfred Stieglitz

ISO: 100 Aperture: f/2.0 Shutter Speed: 1/250

ISO: 100 Aperture: f/5.6 Shutter Speed: 1/60

I was inspired by the work of Alfred Stieglitz who worked to make photography an accepted art form. I tried to make my photos more artistic by capturing the reflection and the ripple in the pond and using a vertical camera angle to add more of an artistic depth to my photos. I believe nature to be very artistic since it is the handiwork of God so I drew inspiration from there. 

American Photography History-Elizabeth Okma


For the longest time, photography was seen as something that anyone could do. It wasn't until Paul Strand and straight photography launching it into the art world, that it was seen as an express of ideas and beauty worthy of museums. Paul looked at the world and saw what was simply beyond the lens, no alternations and no effects. He saw the beauty in lines and shapes in their most common form. Through these two pictures, I tried to do that same. 

Both: 1/250, F29 ISO 3200





Inspired photography -- Michael Walkup


SS: 1/200 ISO: 1250 f/: 5.6
I was inspired by the photography of WWII photographers. Their showing of the destruction and mayhem during and after the battles was very powerful. They managed to make a good composition while still capturing the destruction, so that's what I aimed to do with this accident scene.


SS: 1/320 ISO: 800 F/: 5.6
I was inspired by straight photography for this piece. I love the idea of framing and using just the camera to create a composition. I did a close up of leaves floating in a water filled pot, because I thought that could be framed and composed really well.

Paul Strand inspired straight photography
I chose to take photos using straight photography methods because I love taking photos with sharp focus and intricate details. I made the photos black and white because it brings the purity of the photo out and highlights the details well. Paul Strand's photos are in black and white as well and I believe it makes his subjects stand out.

           I based my pictures on the pictorialist movement. I was intrigued by the way photographers would change their pictures and make them look like paintings. The process seems super fun and I even tried different techniques in creating this type of picture. I ended up using an editing software but gained a great respect for those who did this form of photography back in the early 1900s.

Straight photography, the movement led by Paul Strand, is what inspired my pictures.  Strand liked to make pictures interesting not by editing them, but by taking completely ordinary objects and using irregular angles to make it more dynamic.  He made a viewer look twice at a picture just because it wasn't a normal way of looking at that object.  That's what I tried to do here with the bike and the harp; to make things that aren't that uncommon seem interesting.  

Paul Strand -- Meg Lang

  ISO: 800 Aperture: f/4.5 Shutter: 1/13
ISO: 800 Aperture: f/4.5 Shutter: 1/3

I was inspired by the works of Paul Strand within the straight photography movement. Strand's works focused on finding the beauty in the abstract shapes and forms found within everyday life. In other words, his photos found and portrayed the abstract in a realist approach. I believe that my photos also find the beauty in abstract shapes and forms that can be found in everyday life. A fence post like this can be found in almost every other yard in America, but this photo shows the unique shapes the fence acquires as a result of the elements. The leaves in the bottom photo are also an everyday item that are often overlooked, but when evaluated closely, you can see the beauty in their unique, crumpled, withered forms.

Daniel Spangler _ Pictorialism

I was really intrigued and impressed by the early pictorial photographers at the turn of the century and the ways in which they pushed to make sure that photography was still considered art at a time when it had become so common. The obsession of the masses meant that the elite had to make themselves stand out. They did this through altering the photos in ways that only professionals could manage. I have attempted the same, though anyone with some small experience in Photoshop can accomplish this.




Daniel Horton- Nature Photography

                                           ISO:400, Aperture:f/5.6, and Shutter: 1/200


I took these photos because of the simplicity and Beauty of nature. A photographer that goes by the name Andrew Teece takes pictures that draws out the simplicity of life in different categories such as nature. I was inspired because nature is a beautiful thing and while people take nature for granted. It is nice to see pictures that capture the world in which we live in. The beauty that God created.

Brenda Nguyen: Photography Movements/ Inspiration

ISO: 3200 f/4 1/60

ISO: 3200 f/3.5 1/60

There were two main concepts that inspired me. One of them was the photographer, William Klein. I was inspired by his use of black and white as well as the different portraits of women he had in his photos. Another concept I was inspired by was the movement of fashion photography. Although it doesn't show much in the images I took, I did want to bring that element of importance to what she was wearing.

Jordan Wynalda - Straight Photography

ISO 3200 f4.5 1/50
ISO 3200 f4.5 1/30
I was inspired by the Straight photography movement. I liked the idea of capturing what you're looking at with emphasis on shapes. The realism of the shapes in the images is what makes theses types of photos straight photography.

Photography Movements: Straight Photography - Katelyn Fabricatore

Unexpected Windows

Shutter: 1/400   Aperture: f/8   ISO: 1/125

Shutter: 1/160   Aperture: f/6.3   ISO: 1/200

I was inspired to take these photos by the straight photography movement. Straight photography is categorized by sharp edges and defined shapes with an emphasis on realism. I believe that both of these photos encapsulate the before-mentioned key elements of straight photography.

I was inspired by Kyle Gustafson's style of concert photography, and wanted to try and mimic his shooting techniques. I think it worked out pretty well in the end.

Kevin Zeller Straight Photography


Shade setting: ISO 1600  Aperture 5.4  Shutter speed 1/60

sunlight setting: ISO 400  Aperture 16.4 Shutter speed 1/160

I was inspired by the straight photography movement for these pictures. I like just seeing what things are through pictures in stead of having the photographer be all artsy about it.
