Sam Taylor-Wood is a British photographer who does mostly self portraits which she describes as "dancing in the air." Even though they are about herself and her health she distorts her face. I was drawn to these photographs for the spiritual sense I got from looking through a book.

I chose this photographer because of her titles. This artist is one who does something very similar to me in that she titles her photographs to give them a very specific meaning. Sometimes the titles are from sentences in books and her photographs are always narratives. The second photograph is not a film still but was taken as a movie was being shot(Badlands).

Fashion Photography! I chose the first image because it just makes me think of how many times we try to get this photograph and how she actually did it. I think both of these are so successful! The connection between the models and the photographer is so present and as the viewer it feels like you could be in the middle of a conversation with either of them. The expression on their faces where it's still candid looking even though they're looking at the camera is something I've always been a fan of.
