I came across this photographer in one of my many photography magazines that I receive in the mail, and I don't usually like portraits, but I found it really interesting how he photographs people in their natural environment in a really commercial looking way. He mainly shoots around his home in Austin Texas, and it is definitely great to see how many different people are living in one single area. In this photograph I love the lighting that he has used to light the figure and to correspond with the background. I enjoy the composition quite a lot and how the blue from the sky and plane are seen in his jacket.

I have seen a bit of his work prior to this diptych, but I honestly think this is one of his greatest photographs. I have always enjoyed diptychs, and of course, when two images go together beautifully, it is incredible to see the impact two images can make standing side by side. The two images go together quite amazingly, especially with the way the blue from the sky in the left picture is matched wonderfully with the blue in the womans wardrobe on the right; it can really make quite a statement.

I don't usually tend to like photo manipulated work, but when I saw this image I instantly fell in love with it. Of course, that may have to do with the square format and how beautifully it works with the image and the composition, but I honestly believe this is an incredible piece. The image is edited so nicely you can't tell if it has actually been manipulated. The scene of this image is so surreal, but it is captured and editing in such a beautiful way you almost forget that it isn't real. I love the way the water drops are only seen forming around the figures feet and not in the rest of the water even though her head is covered with an umbrella, it definitely causes me to ask a lot of questions, but I honestly get the feeling and sense that this girl is cursed.
