Mark Seliger

     Mark Seliger was a photographer for the Rolling Stone magazine. He has photographed numerous celebrities. Im attracted to the way he captures people. Looking at his photographs, you get an essence of the persons personality and who they are. I think this is admirable characteristic of his photography. Each one of his photos are unique and expressive. I envy the way he uses his camera and his final outcomes. Partly why I also chose his work was because he has my dream job.

Richard Prince

     

     This image taken by Prince stirred up much controversy. This is Brooke Shields, ten years old, plastered in make, standing nude in a bathtub. Im choosing not to show the whole photo because I myself do not agree with the photograph. The Tate Modern was ordered by police to take down Richard Prince's "Pop Life" exhibition which showed this photo named "Spiritual America". I think this photo is highly inappropriate. Its uses what photography can do with a subject and creates an evil. I think if he shot the photo differently, it would not of stirred up so much trouble. Prince makes this ten year old girl look like a thirty year old woman who works in the Red Light District. This photo is disturbing, and not in an artistic or educational way. I think the police department was correct in taking down the photo.
