Rinko Kawauchi’s work has frequently been lauded for its nuanced palette and offhand compositional mastery, as well as its ability to incite wonder via careful attention to tiny gestures and the incidental details of her everyday environment. In "Illuminance", Kawauchi continues her exploration of the extraordinary in the mundane, drawn to the fundamental cycles of life and the seemingly inadvertent, fractal-like organization of the natural world into formal patterns. Gorgeously produced as a clothbound volume with Japanese binding, this impressive compilation of mostly previously unpublished images is proof of Kawauchi’s unparalleled, unique sensibility.
In 2001, Rinko Kawauchi (*1972) launched her career with the simultaneous publication of three astonishing photobooks – Utatane, Hanabi, and Hanako – firmly establishing herself as one of the most innovative newcomers to contemporary photography worldwide. She has had solo exhibitions at Fondation Cartier, Paris, The Photographers’ Gallery, London, Galleria Carla Sozzani, Milan, Hasselblad Center, Göteborg, and Museum of Modern Art, São Paulo, among other international venues. Kawauchi lives and works in Tokyo.

Daidō Moriyama

i think Moriyama Daido has his own style. his photos always be different angle. and his works are like rough, blur, strong  contrast. his photos always use black and white color, so that it shows a strong effect.

Eadweard Muybridge

Eadweard Muybridge

He  born in 9 April 1830 – 8 May 1904

Edward James Muggeridge was an English

He adopted the name Eadweard Muybridge, believing it to be the original Anglo-Saxon form of his name.

He was a bookseller  in New York

He is known for his pioneering work on animal locomotion in 1877 and 1878 . he used multiple cameras to capture motion in stop-motion photographs, and his zoopraxiscope , a device for projecting motion pictures that pre-dated the flexible perforated film strip used in cinematography.

his works

the most famous work

(the story about the running horse)

In 1872, the former governor of California, Leland Stanford, a businessman and race-horse owner, hired Muybridge for some photographic studies. He had taken a position on a popularly debated question of the day — whether all four feet of a horse were off the ground at the same time while trotting. In 1872, Muybridge began experimenting with an array of 12 cameras photographing a galloping horse in a sequence of shots. His initial efforts seemed to prove that Stanford was right, but he didn’t have the process perfected. The same question had arisen about the actions of horses during a gallop. The human eye could not break down the action at the quick gaits of the trot and gallop. Up until this time, most artists painted horses at a trot with one foot always on the ground; and at a full gallop with the front legs extended forward and the hind legs extended to the rear, and all feet off the ground.^[30] Stanford sided with the assertion of "unsupported transit" in the trot and gallop, and decided to have it proven scientifically. Stanford sought out Muybridge and hired him to settle the question.^[31]

Between 1878 and 1884, Muybridge perfected his method of horses in motion, proving that they do have all four hooves off the ground during their running stride. In 1872, Muybridge settled Stanford's question with a single photographic negative showing his Standardbred trotting horse Occident airborne at the trot. This negative was lost, but the image survives through woodcuts made at the time (the technology for printed reproductions of photographs was still being developed). He later did additional studies, as well as improving his camera for quicker shutter speed and faster film emulsions. By 1878, spurred on by Stanford to expand the experiments, Muybridge had successfully photographed a horse at a trot;^[32] lantern slides have survived of this later work.^[33] Scientific American was among the publications at the time that carried reports of Muybridge's ground-breaking images.^[33]

Stanford also wanted a study of the horse at a gallop. Muybridge planned to take a series of photographs on 15 June 1878, at Stanford's Palo Alto Stock Farm (now the campus of Stanford University). He placed numerous large glass-plate cameras in a line along the edge of the track; the shutter of each was triggered by a thread as the horse passed (in later studies he used a clockwork device to set off the shutters and capture the images).^[34] The path was lined with cloth sheets to reflect as much light as possible. He copied the images in the form of silhouettes onto a disc to be viewed in a machine he had invented, which he called a "zoopraxiscope". This device was later regarded as an early movie projector, and the process as an intermediate stage toward motion pictures or cinematography.

The study is called Sallie Gardner at a Gallop or The Horse in Motion; it shows images of the horse with all feet off the ground. This did not take place when the horse's legs were extended to the front and back, as imagined by contemporary illustrators, but when its legs were collected beneath its body as it switched from "pulling" with the front legs to "pushing" with the back legs.^[31]

my opinion 

Eadweard Muybridge has a magic .he is a huge man. he makes the picture moving so that we can product movie. this is a big contribution in the photography even for the world.

 

Annie Leibovitz

Annie Leibovitz

she born on october 2, 1949

so now she is 66 years old.

she studied in san francisco art institute before 

she is a photographer, working for rolling stone magazine.

she was awarded the royal photographic society's centenary medal and honorary fellowship in recognition of sustained ,significant contribution to the art of photography in 2009.

she's works 

this work sot about john  Lennon and his wife. john Lennon likes a baby  and lean on his wife. this picture shows the relationship between he and his wife. it like they cannot lose each other.

 

this picture shot about Demi Moore. she was pregnant during that time. in this photo she didn't wear anything. she show us she's whole body. she is looking at the front and her eyes is so peaceful. 

        

    

my opinion:

Annie Leibovitz she shoot a lot of pictures  of feminize. in her pictures we can see the respect of the woman. she always have generous heart. she is a american. the camera as a close friend of her. she always forgets where she is  when she plays with her camera. Annie Leibovitz's work always has her own style--drama, big view, context and so on. she likes catching  the object's emotion. she want to focus on what is the photography rather than famous people when she works in rolling stone magazine.
