You're probably wondering what my favorite piece is. Honestly, it's really hard to decide because there was just too much that was going on that day and some art pieces had so much going on too. The photography section was definitely an art form I can understand. I've taken art history in photography and a lot of photographs I saw at the exhibition was recognizable. Like Julia Margaret Cameron and Richard Avedon. If you haven't checked their artwork out, then definitely look them up. I can actually compare and contrast with their types of style. Julia Margaret Cameron has a blurry and soft focus style because she likes capturing the sense of their motion which connects to their emotions. She mostly photographed women.

Richard Avedon on the other hand takes portraits with a great focus on the details of the subject's faces. Either a wrinkle or a stain on a shirt, it sort of tells a story about the subject
