Five Great Portrait Photographers

Five Great Portrait Photographers

 

 

 

 

 

Vivian Dorothea Maier

 

 

Vivian Dorothea Maier was an American amateur street photographer, who was born in New York City, but grew up in France. (February 1, 1926 – April 21, 2009) She took more than 100,000 photographs, primarily of people and cityscapes in Chicago, although she traveled and photographed worldwide. Her photographs remained unknown and mostly undeveloped until they were discovered.

What I find to be the most interesting aspect in her series of Self-Portraits, is her ability to show mostly a unfriendly face, and seems her arm position like a triangle. At times, she usually looks upper side and seems angry. Her images give me a sense of her self-perception and also how she appears by herself, and I think she want to find herself.

Helmut Newton

 

Helmut Newton born in Berlin was a German-Australian photographer. He was a "prolific, widely imitated fashion photographer. (31 October 1920 – 23 January 2004)

 

He has been using many sexual photos. It was really bad sensational photos. He’s been taking many photos with women models.  But, I was interested about taking gloomy circumstances but exciting from his photos with models. You can view more of her work here.

 

 

 

Ilse Bing

 

 

Ilse Bing was a German avant and commercial photographer during the inter-war era. Her Self-Portrait remains an icon of modernist photography, and a time when many women were embracing modernity and independence, along with the new opportunities. (23 March 1899 – 10 March 1998)

 

What I find to be the most interesting is her face in the photo. The face seems like my Italian friend. In addition, she expressed very well her aspect with gorgeous backgrounds. You can view more of her work here.

 

 

 

Ansel Easton Adams

 

Ansel Easton Adams  was an American photographer and environmentalist. His black-and-white landscape photographs of the American West, especially Yosemite National Park, have been widely reproduced on calendars, posters, and in books.

 

In this picture, I felt that I was very well comfortable and calm from him. His smiling face of photos appeals person’s mind. Also, some photos with other person are proofs. His smiling shows us that he isn’t old and seems like a young boy except for his appearance.  You can view more of her work here.

 

 

 

Stanley Kubrick

Stanley Kubrick was born in New York. He was an American film director, screenwriter, producer, cinematographer, and editor who did most of his work. He was considered intelligent despite poor grades at school. (July 26, 1928 – March 7, 1999)

 

First of all, I found his histories of the career. He worked filming, but also other area related to it. Most of all, his images give me that he loves taking photos with his people around him related to his film area.  You can view more of her work here.
