I chose these three photographers and these pieces specifically  because they all work around some type of fantasty or dream like approach.

This is one of my favorite photographs i have ever taken. It was very much  in the moment and capturing this beautiful creature in such a calm setting. I love how the light bounces off her back and the great range of tones captured in this photograph.

The composition of the three of them is interesting and fire adds a nice element to the photograph as well.

I chose this photograph because i love the movement in the water and the different range of tones i captures within the photograph.

Almerisa, Asylum seekers' centre Leiden, Leiden, The    Netherlands,  Rineke Dijkstra (Dutch, born 1959)1994
 This Artist relates to my work in project #1, because she takes portraits of people that would not always be considered beautiful but in her eyes they are because of the shot itself.
