Alex Webb

 

 

The reason why I chose this artist:

I have chosen Alex Webb as my inspiration for street photography as his framing and attention to background are remarkable. I enjoy the normality in the setting that he uses and the clear, to-the-point style of photography. His simple ideas of capturing what she sees while paying attention to colors in a scene create coordination. Furthermore, I think he has an iconic use of bold and vintage colors, which is beautifully captured in this photo. It is also unique since it doesn’t have the typical buildings and streetways shown in distinctive street photography. I want to recreate the precise, parallel framing that Alex Webb uses and aim to highlight the culture of China, its people, and its everyday life.

 

One image Evaluation:

This photograph of a boy holding a ball with his finger fascinates me.

I chose this photo because I liked the feeling of a collaboration between humans’ daily life and the city. I wanted the tone of the building to contrast with the blue ball and the walls.

The deep contrast between the ball and the background wall is unusual because of the unique color. I also like how the composition of humans with background is positioned excitingly to create an eye-catching piece and make the work more interesting.
