Artist of the Week: Louis Daguerre

 I chose this photo purely because it represented daguerreotypes and because it was funny to look at. I don't know what this man was thinking about when he took this photo, but his expression is hilarious.

Edgar Allen Poe, known for his writing, to see him in this photo was a bit of a surprise for me. This photo and the one above are examples of photography being diverse, as well as daguerreotypes not being restricted to specific people like Abraham Lincoln.

Artist of the Week: Mario Testino

Mario Testino usually takes photos of people, and these photos have a certain meaning behind them. Mario loves to bring the best out of each person he takes a photo of, and he brings out the inner and outer beauty of a person in the photo.

Mario Testino took a photo of Ryan Gosling and showed a shadow next to Ryan. The two seem to be staring at each other, creating a story for the photo.

Artist of the Week: Annie Leibovitz

 This photo was fun to look at because it shows a scene from the set of the new Star Wars movie, Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens. The photo is fascinating because it shows what to expect from the movie, an intriguing character.

Clint Eastwood is awesome in general, you can't judge this man. Annie Leibovitz captures the face of Clint in a serious manner.
