Lisa Dahl

So I was looking at this artist more because the way she treats the photograph is more in line with the way I'll be treating my photographs in my next series in digital imaging. Where as she is photographing suburbs and removing the house to reduce it to a basic form, I was thinking for doing something along the same idea, but photographing people, and removing there identity be altering the photograph after the printing the image. she uses other objects and materials to cover the photograph, like acrylic paint, jewels, and glitter, I'll forgo the glitter.

Leatha Wilson

So I was look at this photographers/sculptor work not for in the direction that I want to pursue in the next project, but more to show how on this project we really are not limited to just two dimensional work or objects to alter the photograph. In her artist statement she is using these objects to become identifiers of the real to remind the viewer that the photograph is just a substitution for the real. I also like the wide variety of materials she uses and the combination that she uses the effectively with the photograph.

Alex Cherry

Again another artist that I think is doing really interesting things with photo-manipulation, and again I'm faced with another horrible artist website. So again I have no background information on this artist, but if you go to his website all you get is a gif of him, and clicking on it only opens up your email. That being said, I like his use of color and stark white backgrounds.

Jenn Violetta

So this artist is working with computers for more photo manipulation and effects then digital collage, but its really interesting, pretty dark. She doesn't have a website other then a tumbler site, so I really can't tell you any more about her other then showing her work.

Alex Fischer

So just looking around the internets and I found the work of Alex Fischer who dose really incredible work because I thought they were done with more traditional techniques, but he these are digital collage. The look and arrangements of his compositions have a really feel and mood to them, most of all the are kind of creepy which I like, any is website is here check him out. I've also noticed that artist websites like side scroll am I the only person who does not like this?

Dada Collage

For this first project I'm interested in creating constructed spaces through collaging elements together. One source of inspiration is the dadaist collages I've always had a fascination with the dadaist movement and pull a lot of inspiration from them.

Carlos Diaz

I selected the work of Carlos Diaz, because I like the work he is producing, and also for the face that it is vary different from the type of atheistic that I would normally be drawn to. My preference tends to lend itself to to darker imagery as well as utilizing texture. I originally thought these images were done digitally, but after reading his statement he hand collages each image individually, insuring that there are only individual images that exist. He uses vintage images on photographs to create other worldly environments. Photo Eye Gallery


Also, I guess there is something about being called Carlos and being awesome at this sort of thing.

Carlos Tarrats

So the artist that I am looking at Carlos Tarrats. I like his use of textures and shapes with in his photographs color and the environment that he constructs for his photographs. Now when I say constructs he creates an image by constructing the whole image photographing then printing. So he isn't using digital photo manipulation but I like the effects, texture and compositions that he creates, and would like to try to emulate that style by creating a digital image. I would like to find his web site, but I couldn't find one with a search, but he is on photo eye. Here
