chuck close pictures





I like Chuck Close's work because of the detail and realizm of it.
 He adds a very human factor to all of his photos, they are imperfect and gritty
 but they show the true sides of people, the raw image.

I love the gradient in this photo and the different lighting situations.

I like the colour in this photo and the detail in the buildings and trees.

amazing photos 2013



I find this photo funny because of how confused the bear looks and just the absurdity of a bear sitting on a tightrope. I like their use of lighting and the angle of the picture.

I like this photo because it makes me feel sad for the dog and yet excited for him that he can still walk and be free. i like the expression on the dog's face, and the background because it makes him look indepenant.
