My favorite work presented thus far in lecture was the photographs by Albert Chong. I liked his representation of portraits a lot. The black and white photographs create a very interesting contrast. His combination of the human body mixed with other natural items such as egg shells and pieces of would create a very symbiotic union. The contrast of light reflecting off these different objects is very appealing. He uses very natural items and nothing is to complex within the composition of the photograph.
What I really like was seeing a different way to do portraits. I am use to the traditional concept of a portrait but the way Albert Chong does a portrait is so much more beautiful. I have seen countless portraits with the front view of a face of the person and the light is always casted towards the front or on the side. I also really liked his way of take a picture of a picture with other materials around the actual picture. And some of the items being in color give it a nice contrast from the black and white photographs. His use of visual effects also adds to the photographs composition and it in heightens it. The body movements become a part of the whole photographs beauty.
