Brad Carlile
Photographs depicting hotel rooms in which time and space fade into each other. A time-intensive technique that captures the evolution of light and emphasizes change in vivid colors. He shoots multiple exposures over the course of days in order to produce each image, which is created in-camera and on-film with no digital manipulation. This shows the day's intervals of changing light existing concurrently. The colors in his photography look so vivid and unreal.

Steve McCurry
The bright red hand prints give this image a very unhappy feel to me. the use of color is what makes this photograph so successful with out the different colored walls the photograph would just be another boy running in a street.

Art Wolfe
His stunning images interpret and record the world's fast-disappearing wildlife. As in this photograph the color peaking through the silhouette of the plants makes the subject more of a mystery. His photographs are recognized throughout the world for their mastery of color, composition and perspective.

Eugene Atget
This photo shows me that the two big brothers are very protective over their little sister and that the dog is also there to help. Eugene Atget captured the expressions of the children probably when he first encountered them because they look almost frightened that he was standing in their vicinity. All of the children look almost intimidated.
Imogen Cunningham
Imogen Cunningham was able to capture the subtle expression of the young girl holding her stuffed animal as well as most of her scenery. The girl seems to be lonely and judging by the choice to include the door, it seems like she is alone involuntarily. The choice to put the girl on the right side of the frame makes your eye follow along the entire picture, not just focus on one section, especially because her legs go out of the photo.
