You should have 5 pictures for each photographer as well as a paragraph fro weach photographer that explains: 1. // Why you like the photogrpaher // 2. // What is the photographers concern? What is his or her theme? Why do they shoot their subject matter? //

__**//SALLY MANN//**__ The main reason that i chose Sally Mann was because i really like the feeling i get from her pieces. All of them have a soft feeling in terms of color and the grain or the pictures. Some of the pictures are taken can be seen as posed or almost candid shots but they all have the same tone and you can tell that she took them. The content of her pictures most includes her children nude in natural situations. I believe her goal in shooting these pictures is to represent them in natural situations and show the true innocents and free spirit away from societies limitations.

__//**Sarah McColgan**//__

As a fashion photographer Sarah McColgan stood out to me in the way she shoots her work. A lot of the pictures were printed in black and white which give them a softer affect or feeling. However, even when the picture is shot in color you still get a sof felling due to her low contrast levels. Another aspect that each of these photos has is the use of shadows. I think the main image that she tries to portray is a dramatic yet soft image that grabs peoples attention and shows them the true beauty of women.

__//**Wesley C. Skiles**//__ The main reason i like this photographer is because he mainly shoots nature scenes for National Geographic and thats what I wish i could do with my life when i get older. Another thing i like about his pictures is how he uses high depth of field and inclues eveything in the image. Everything he does is very beautiful and allows you to see things you normally wouldn't about nature. I think that his main goal is to make people to realize the true beauty in life that most would miss and to document it.
