Skinner: Style photos



 Bert Teunissen


Bert Teunissen is a Dutch photographer born in 1959 in Ruulro, Gelderland. Since 1996, Teunissen has been photographing European homes built before WW2 and their inhabitants. In the book Domestic Landscapes by Bert Teunissen we see European people sitting within a room that is their space within their home. Teunissen uses a small aperture to capture all the details from the subject to their background that shows their atmosphere. Teunissen typically takes photos of singular people but also doesn’t stray away from groups. Most people Teunissen uses are sitting down and have a straight face. When Teunissen takes photos of people he uses the natural light from the windows and takes in as much of it as he can. This light creates shadows but depicts the house in its natural state just like the people within the photo, they are in their natural state of their home reading, smoking, eating just as they would on any day. Teunissens photos are unique to him because he creates a connection with the people in the photo and also show their connection to the home around them. The people in the photo’s backgrounds are especially important because it shows us what there personally is from messy to clean to sporty to content. The photos show us what their life is like and who they are as people within their natural states and homes.

Shuyao Wang's final project proposal

I want to photography the benefits and beauty of things especially the landscapes in the morning. I intend to photograph it because I really enjoy the morning in a day, because of the fresh air, healthy lifestyle, most beautiful views in a day. But I find that many of my friends and even me sometimes prefer to stay up late and get up nearly at noon. Thus, we miss the whole morning and couldn’t have a choice to feel the benefits of morning. I think it is not good and bad for our healthy. And we couldn’t understand  important of morning more and more after we continuing following the wrong track. I hope to use this time to  photography morning and its beauty to convey the feeling of morning in a day give me and show the advantages of morning to remind myself the importance of morning. I think it can also be a strong prove to the people who couldn’t understand the importance of morning its benefits. The factual pictures may be a better choice than verbal words.  I plan ...

Leamy: Final Project Proposal Revisited

Final Proposal              For my final project, I intend on following a similar vein from my style project and photographing homes that have a sense of personality and uniqueness to them, specifically in State College, Philadelphia, Downingtown, and West Chester. I want to photograph this subject because I personally find homes very appealing and I think they have extreme potential to tell a story to a viewer that perhaps would have been unexplored otherwise. Furthermore, I want to address the discrepancies present among different towns and their houses (State College versus living spaces in Philadelphia versus another suburban areas of Downingtown and West Chester). I think that the photos could work well in conversation with one another in sharing more about a town and perhaps the people that may live in that area.              I intend on visiting...

Garrett Curfman revised proposal

Garrett Curfman Final project proposal Photo 202 For my final project I have decided to take photos of city atmospheres. This includes the backsides of building, and items that reflect a “backstage” view of the atmosphere. I chose to do this because I love cities. New York City is my favorite place. Myself alone in the maze of concrete buildings and seeing all the unique aspects of the city get me inspired to create. There is so much personality and stories to be told by the streets and buildings that I pass every day in downtown State college.  I have photographed buildings, streets, alleys, and different items found in the city environment that further reflect where the photos are taken. I met a few challenges when creating this project. One was the weather. It has been a cold few weeks so the amount of time I spent outside was much smaller than I anticipated. Another is locations. I have broadened my horizons and find new places that I haven’t photog...
