Fine Art Photography

I discovered a beautiful website with the work of many photographers which you should all check out. It's called Masters of Fine Art Photography, and I've added a link in the list of photography websites. It is an excellent resource for looking at the work of other photographers when you are looking for ideas for your assignments and clip books. I've looked at Yousef Karsh's portfolio, which has 50 years of portraits of very famous people, Sabastio Salgado's, Jill Greenberg's and Joel-Peter Witkin's, some of which are quite shocking.

Also, be sure to look at the link on Monitor Calibration. Although I have not been able to find a gray scale to bring in, this is a nice example of one.

If you are looking for an exhibit to attend and about which to do your gallery review, retired Rolling Stone Bill Wyman has a show running until April 14 at the Morrison Hotel Gallery in Hollywood, 7517 West Sunset Boulevard. The Gallery is open 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Sunday-Thursday and 11 a.m.-10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.

Here are the links to the on-line articles about digital white balance I spoke about last week in class: Apogee Photo Magazine on White Balance and Color Temperature, Urban Fox on White Balance, and another one on Color Temperature taken from a book by Jeremy Birn.
