Oliver Morris, Andre de Freitas, Alison Scarpulla


Oliver Morris is a talented photographer who specializes in double exposure photographs. His works are layered in a way that make them feel natural. I chose this photograph because of the connection of color between the two photographs that he chose to use. 


Double exposure photographs are extremely fascinating. Here's a beautiful set by Andre de Freitas. The double exposures give us a glimpse into two completely separate but intertwined worlds. Whenever I see them, I try to imagine what went through the photographer's mind when combining the images. The nature of this photograph is beautiful. 


Photographer Alison Scarpulla makes images that are faint combinations of reality and mystery, almost like a dream. Her use of desaturated colors and grainy, expired film add to the mystery of this magical world. The photograph that i have chosen is just creepy, but that is one of the reasons that i was drawn to it. 


Klaus Nigge, Jim Brandenburg, Peter Essick


Born in 1956, photographer Klaus Nigge grew up fascinated with photography. His subjects are animals and natural setting photos. i was drawn to this photographer because of his use of bold subject. He is not afraid to get out there and get the perfect photograph. 


Minnesota native Jim Brandenburg traveled the globe as a photographer with National Geographic magazine for over three decades. This photographer also uses animals and natural objects in his work. I chose this photograph because of the connection between the viewer and the subject. The coloring and focus are also a big part of why this draws you in. 



For the past 23 years, Peter Essick has worked as a freelance photojournalist. His main client has been National Geographic. This photograph is just stunning in subject, also the variety of color is what caught my eye.
