Still Life Photographer Research

These are two of my favorite still life photographers.



Andre Kertesz
Andre Kertesz discovered and demonstrated the special aesthetic of the small camera. These beautiful little machines seemed at first hardly serious enough for the typical professional, with his straightforward and factual approach to the subject, but Kertesz soon became a well known photographer. 

I find Andre Kertesz's work very intriguing as i like his use of subjects within his work, as i think they are uncomplicated, which makes Kertesz's techniques show very clearly and effectively.











Edward Weston
The creative life of Edward Weston spans over five decades, from his first contact with photography in 1902 until 1953, when, under his supervision, his son Brett printed 830 of his best negatives for the "Project Prints."  Weston began to photograph at the age of sixteen after receiving a Kodak Bull’s Eye #2 camera as a birthday present from his father. His first photographs captured the parks of Chicago where he lived at the time.

I personally think that Edward Weston's work is interesting as it is simple yet so detailed and i also like the use of monochrome in his photographs.
