Online artist



This artist is more my style. Orduna is inspired by pop culture and shows it in his work. his work include different kinds of mediums combining them as one. He now works for the visionary group an interactive web design. His inspiration also comes from his culture and street graffiti. Aggression is one of his main themes as well as the color red. His work is aimed more towards clients and has work for major companies making heir design. i want to follow a similar career, I recently started creating similar work. An example i have done is below.

Online artist


Uelsmann is one of my most influential artist. His work very unique and has his own style. What i find amazing about his work is how he is the master of photo manipulation. He started way before photoshop came out. He began working with negatives and combining layers. I did some similar work and realized how much time it takes. I respect Uelsmann even more after experiencing the process. The black and white in his work make his style more dramatic and unique. This artist led me to pursue my carrier more in web design and working with photography.

5th series





This is a series i still have to get better at. I am not a big fan of flowers but are a good subject to photograph of. The flowers have many curves and they can relate to body curves. Flowers can be found all over and many different kinds. I will keep taking shots of flowers but next time they will be all close ups.
I really liked the photograph of CSUSM and how the sunset is coming out. The photograph was taken early morning. I took the shot several times and came out with different sky colors. The shot was taken from my bathroom window.




Food Series

This series just made me hungry! I like the lemons how they came out. I changed the color on them and gave them more intensity. I think food is a good subject to photograph due to the variety of colors. Overall the series inspired me to continue and add to it.




Cindy Sherman


Sherman's photography is quite compelling, her approach is what makes her work strong. Many of her shoots include portraits. I like the series where she uses many costumes to photograph herself. The most memorable piece of work i found inspiring was the clown series. The photos had mixed emotion that many can relate to. The colors on some of the shots are also very intense and just jump out. What i like about this artist is her style, she shows different ones not just one. Her study on portraiture is what made Sherman's work more powerful. The stereo type of women is well presented in her photographs and many times uses her as a model.
