New York , Capital of Photography by Max Kozloff: Book Review

I couldn't find a book that related to my topic in the college library so I chose to do a book review on something I like. I love travelling and would love to go to New York so I chose a book about it. The part of the book that I most enjoyed were the images at the end. I like looking at other peoples work and seeing all of the street photography as a moment in time is captured.
One of my favourite photographs from the whole book is on page 107 and titled In a New York Penthouse, 1931. I love how the photographer Edward Steichen captured two women classic for the time period in nice clothing and hairstyles. Also the photograph looks candid and I love how the skyline is seen in the background.
My favourite section of text is the part about Fallen Culture as I find the history interesting and I like how they compare New York in the 1920's to now, explaining how the times have changed and how it effects photographers.

Shadow Work in the Studio

Today we had another chance to work in the college studio, this time capturing shadow. I used three Pentax K 1000 cameras to photograph. It was fun to use a different light set up than last time, to create a stronger shadow. The following photographs are my favourites:
