Artist biography.

            My inspiration for my senior exhibition is a photographer named Joel Meyerowitz, he really inspired me because I really like how he really uses thirds, and I think that’s one of my flaws in photography, I don’t really analyze the way I set up my photo, I don’t use thirds, also the way I proportion in my photograph, I can learn a lot, analyzing his work, he really helped the way I set up my picture.

            Joel Meyerowitz was born in New York, in the year of 1938. Joel Meyerowitz stated photographing in 1962; he exclusively worked with color, Joel Meyerowitz was known to use 8 X 10 large format cameras to produces luminous photography for landscapes. JoelMeyerowitz was also known to write books, his first book was titled "Cape Light", the book was considered "a classic work of color photography" his sold more than 100,000 copies.
