Final Exam Part 1

Three Top Artists I picked:

Joe McNally.

Anne Geddes.

John Shaw.



Jen Davis- I am interested in researching her. I want to know more about her life and why she chose to pursue a career in photography. I am inspired but the message she sends with her self portrait pictures. I can concur she will have an interesting story to learn. She is the photographer I pick for my project.

Anne Geddes- I want to learn about her because she takes mainly pictures of babies in different settings. She is australian but she's a known photographer around the world. She lived in HongKong once, which is really cool. She also has many photography books. Which is quite inspiring, since she only takes pictures of babies.


John Shaw- I want to learn about Shaw because he is a nature photography. Nature-based photography is really inspirational to me which is why I'm interesting. He also has many photography books. He won an award for outstanding photography. I suppose that means he's really good.
