Post 4: Gregory Heisler

http://gregoryheisler.com/
In class, Prof. Handschuh brought up Heisler. This is a link to his webpage. He has many different categories (quiet, vibrant, simple, dynamic, strange, contextual, timecovers, banjoists and others) But even within each category, each image really shows something different from the last. It was interesting to see how he chose to show people in the portraits (sitting, standing, with props, etcetera...) And how he used light and color. I especially liked his pictures that are outdoors with the sky (mostly in the contextual group). In "other" he shows abstract photographs that show the liberties a photographer can take.

It was inspirational flipping through his work.
