Famous Photographers #1 Minimalism and Beauty in Decay

Grant Hamilton

     Simple, colorful, lines, vintage, unique
     It relates to minimalism because it is finding a bright, colorful picture of what is likely a simple sign or an ordinary mural. 
     Does not relate to beauty in decay
     I like the simplicity and clean lines, although they are all so different, they all fit together.
     I would like to make a series of simple lines or designs. I would like to have a similar eye.
   

Martin Cox



    Spontaneous, interesting, eye-catching, contrast, dark.
    It relates to minimalism because of the overwhelming amount of negative space. the contrast of the dark figures on the white is eye-catching.
    In some cases, his photography shows beauty in decay. When he photographs an old farm, it may not be considered the most aesthetically pleasing, but he finds a way to make it beautiful.
    I like the figures against the white background. It is an amazing contrast.
    I would like to see things the way he sees them, to see where contrast like this can be found.




Doug Ness

     Bright, urban, contrast, texture, lines
     Relates to minimalism because it shows small details and lines from a likely busy and eclectic wall.
     These do relate to beauty in decay. these walls are likely seen as trashy and dirty, but he makes them fun and interesting and brings them to life.
    I like the emphasis on bright colors and stark contrast.
    I would like to capture a similar contrast and find bright, fun pictures in the most simple environment,
