Ben Moraski | William Eggleston
Arabella Webster | Joni Sternbach
Sternbach’s goal was to portray the relationship life has with the elements. She shows her audience the beautiful parts of the west and the depth of simplicity and emptiness. Sternbach‘s pieces are wonderfully centered, and she finds contrast between the blank sky and detailed objects in her best works.

Akhila Nataraj | Henri Cartier-Bresson
Cartier Bresson’s legacy on the world of photography is most notably defined by his ability to capture a “decisive moment”. After being held as a prisoner during World War II, Bresson spent over a decade traveling the world and capturing a plethora of moments in history, from India post independence to the Soviet Union following Stalin’s death. Bresson’s inspiration stemmed from his desire to depict a ‘convincing reality’, capturing moments he believed truly defined human existence that otherwise would not be given a second glance. To quote Bresson himself, “The photograph itself doesn’t interest me. I want only to capture a minute part of reality.”
