Bob Lee

Bob Lee is a local photographer that recently gave a talk in NAFA. Bob is a local photographer who does commercial and also personal projects on photographer. From talking to him and listening to his lecture, i realised that Bob was a person with a big heart. Each photo from his personal projects had a recurring theme. 

lives

He focused a lot on the human aspects of photography. Documenting the lives and story of the forgotten or the downcast. He has won numerous awards throughout asia and some abroad. It truly is an inspiring feat to see a Singaporean with such success. As I personally feel that Singapore's losing its grip on the artistic scene. 

His down the earth photography and story driven photography is something that would benefit me in my learning of this module. 

not very sure if this is his photo

William Eggleston

William Eggleston is a photographer that is known for his vibrant colours in his photos. He uses a film camera to capture the pastel and also contrasting colours of the 70s and 80s. William Eggleston photographs and documents forgotten items and things that we often overlook. First photographing in black-and-white, Eggleston began experimenting with color in 1965 and 1966 after being introduced to the medium by William Christenberry.

William Eggleston was a unique and inspirational photographer as he stepped out of the comfort zone of photographers during his time. They would all use black and white film but William Eggleston shot in colour. Perfectly encapsulating the beauty and the vibrancy of the 70s and 80s. The colour palate is extensive and is amazing.

He inspires me to see this mundane world through different lens.

Vivian Maier

This is Vivian Maier but this picture doesn't do her justice. I think this does. 

She has a personality that is so mysterious, she would not even provide her name to people. She would impersonate a fake french accent and she has a different approach to photography. She worked as a baby sitter to support herself but her true passion was street photography. One time, the child she was taking care of got hit by a car. All she did was take out her camera to take pictures of the accident. She was very odd women as she would randomly snap pictures of people and of random objects in public. She was bold, mysterious and ultimately a brilliant photographer. She did not have any prior training in photographer but yet she had the ability to have elements of design in her images. 

i feel that she has a unique outlook on life and that can really help me with my photography. She has continued to live in the moment and that can really help me. To always be ready to shoot and to be bold with our shooting.
