Henri Cartier-Bresson

            Henri was a French Humanist photographer, who was a pro at capturing candid moments. He was born in August 1908 and died not to long ago in August 2004. He was a role model to many future photographers. He mainly captured people on the streets in their day to day lives. He actually attempted a music and painting career before photography. He later got into film making and photo journalism where he would show more of his work.

Alex Bolen         Since I have done all older photographers so far, I decided to do a more modern and current photographer. Alex Bolen, owner of Shutter Darlings Photography is one my favorite photoragpers right now. She went to the same high school as me about 5 years before I did. She cheered and would come back to take pictures of the cheerleaders which is how I met her. Her work is so dreamy and always so creative which is why I love it. She got a few minutes in fame for a rainbow baby picture she created. I was in love with this picture.

This is the first film director I have done which is surprising that more people don't do both. She is best known for her conceptual portraits. She likes to shoot alone in her studio where she takes on many rolls like photographer, director, subject, and make up artist. She is still currently creating work to keep up with her reputation.

She worked for the Rolling Stones magazine, but while doing that she always made time to do work of her family. Family meant the most to her. I admire Annie a lot being a women myself. She has many great characteristics to look up to.
