Dracinc | Donn Thompson - New York Artistic Photographer

New York Artistic Photography

When I look at photography, I also see it as art. I use colours, composition, and perspective and make them work together. I don't limit my thoughts to seeing an image, or an attitude without limitations.

As a Harlem Artistic Photographer, see how I encourage you to view your intimate self. See how I complete a photo essay and what I want to tell. Recognize how I keep the beauty of history in a sense and show you how erotic and sexual I want you to feel about yourself.

The Great Masters

Edward Weston, Helmut Newton, James Barnors, and Ansel Adams were great masters of photography.

Ansel Adams's black-and-white landscape was rich and full of tonal qualities. His creation of the zone system made his black-and-white images look like colour images. These photographers are the real masters of modern-day photography.

Lights and Shadows

Edward Weston's peppers images and how he used shadows and lights to make those peppers look like art are amazing. I urge most young photographers to learn lighting to view Mr. Weston's peppers images.

Ghanaian Photographer, James Barnor

James Barnor, Ever Young, a Ghanaian photographer based in London since the 1990s, spans six decades. Although his work was not widely known for much of that period, it was latterly been discovered by new audiences. In his street and studio photography, Barnor represents societies in transition in the 1950s and 1960s: Ghana moved toward Independence. He made me look at fashion through a more skilled eye, which I use every day.

Helmut Newton, Big Nudes

Finally, Helmut Newton freely photographed women in his book Big Nude, creating an illusion for me as if I were there. This master made me see the female body as art we don't want to look for. The way each part of the individual body part is connected is an art all by itself. That was the freedom of Helmut Newton I discovered.
