Prompt #25

You as Curator
Look through the list of recent entrants to this call for photography.
http://pdncuratorawards.com/entries.shtml
Pretend you are curating a show and choose 7 photographers to include in your show. Describe why you would pick those particular artists and what about their work stands out to you.

Keith Lewis        I chose Lewis because his work isn't in focus it was different and from a distance the girl gives off a mystical feel which I really like and the lighting and the way the colors look fit well together. The little bit of fire along the base of the wall  just awesome.
     
Molly Salzbrunn           What drew me to Molly's work was how simply beautiful her images are the color scheme here is so mellow toned that its relaxing to look at.

Grace Oh               Grace Oh's  work is just wow  the use of lighting and positioning of shadows  make this image very interesting And from the looks of it the image appears to be a CGI image a 3D model of a reflective circle. Its a piece that I'd like to see more of.

mitchell           In Mitchell's work the colors seem to be all the same and at first look you don't see the vehicle that's in the scene because of the colors. Also the way the image is set up with only having the very front and very end of the truck being used and fitting it in the aisle the whole scene just makes me uncomfortable with how the truck sits in there.
Heart & Hurt                   With this piece the emotion captured is powerful to me the lighting in it really emphasizes it and being in black and white helps with emotion better than if it was in color.
Jim Tetro         Tetro's works is mind boggling with it being mirrored the affect is just so well executed that the piece draws your attention. Plus the two orange lines help you up and down the image.

Albert C Karges          Ah Albert I chose him immediately I'm a sucker for cloud and sky images they're my favorite. And Albert's  pics remind me of my own cloud series they're just out there.
