Hiroshi Sugimoto
Hiroshi Sugimoto's photography mainly showcases a variety of landscape type features with little features in the foreground of the photographs and the background is mainly covered in black and white format. Sugimoto displays his images as bland with little detail in his photographs, however the photographs could contain some hidden emotions within the photographs. The curation of these images are very similar as they both represent black and white photographs from Sugimoto with little detail. There are many similarities within these images as they are both bleak with little foreground and background detail. There are also differences within the images as the first one has a bland white screen in the image whilst the other image has a pattern at the bottom of the image and no white screen. I personally think that the images are good because while they do not have much detail within them, the emotion behind the photographs could go into many different depths in our minds. These photographs do inspire me as they bring a high level of different emotional feelings behind what we could interpret of these photographs. Finally, I believe these photographs may help my own preferences as they could showcase many different feelings behind how Sugimoto presents his photographs and the thought process behind how he made them could also play a part into the emotion within the photograph.
Daido Moriyama
Daido Moriyama's photography mainly showcases the streets of different cities in particular countries with a variety of citizens and many other people in the foreground of the photographs. Moriyama displays his images as more detailed with high levels of quality within the photograph which may also contain a high level of emotion. The curation of the images were very similar as they both contained highly detailed photographs with different people contained within them that may have also contained emotions within the background. The similarities of the images are that they both contain people and they both contain high levels of detail within the photographs. The differences could be that the photographs contain different streets from different areas. I personally thought that the images had a high level of quality within them and they had a high variety of different usage of different cities, streets and people within the photographs. These images might inspire me as there are a high variety of different streets and people used in these photographs so the images may be easily accessible and they can also inspire me to create more hidden meanings behind photographs. Finally, I believe these photographs may help my own preferences as they are useful for creating different images of photographs in streets and different landscapes and they can help me more in creating different types of photographs in streets in these particular cities.
