Brassai
Brassai was a Hungarian-born
French photographer, poet, draughtsman, and sculptor, known primarily
for his dramatic photographs of Paris at night.

Stieglitz
Equivalents is a series of photographs of clouds taken by Alfred Stieglitz
from 1925 to 1934. They are generally recognized as the first
photographs intended to free the subject matter from literal
interpretation, and, as such, are some of the first completely abstract
photographic works of art.

Project #4 took a total shift in direction for me when I found that my indoor pictures were not turning out as nicely as I wanted them to. I just couldn't nail the lighting for it! Knowing that I wanted try out night photography as well, I decided to take my camera out this past weekend to take some long exposures. I had recently checked out a book of works by Stieglitz, a personal favorite of mine, so I drew from him and Brassai as well for inspiration for my diptychs. I played around with the scenes of the sky and buildings, blurring the border in some places while clearly separating the two in others.
