Overall the exhibits at the Museum of Photographic arts were interesting but they lacked a lot of composition. I went after the 16th meaning the Sony exhibit was gone and instead they had exhibits from Julia Margaret Cameron and Robert wilson. Wilson’s exhibit was especially interesting; she took long video portraits that had minor movements and changes to imply that the human body is never truly stationary. I recreated one of these videos but thought that it didn’t fit the “photography category” well enough so I stuck to Julia Margaret Cameron and their permanent exhibits for inspiration. Cameron’s work was strictly portraits that usually had three angles, straight on, looking left, and looking right. These photos are very old so the quality of the image and printing paper make the image look saturated. These photos show a lot about the history of the person and how they felt at the time of the photo being taken. It was interesting to see as I walked around that many of the photos had the same person in them but they had different emotions, for example in one image a man was looking straight at the camera with crazed eyes but in another photo the same man had a very serious face. The two exhibits were very different from each other but were both super interesting and had very different concepts of art. One was a more literal portrait photo while the other has a deeper meaning.
