Does anyone use photographs for picture study? I just wondered if it would be appropriate to use a photographer for the artist instead of a painter?

MemberYes, that is fine. You'd want to choose a photographer who produces excellent artwork. The guide here at SCM recommends Frans Lanting and Ansel Adams.

MemberThanks. Ansel Adams is who I had in mind because I had a yearly planner with his work. Presto! I already have the pictures for the children to study! Thanks again

MemberOur family has had the privilege of having a professional freelance photographer as a member--my late sister, who left her many, many slides and albums to my father. She also frequently gave us prints of her works, beautifully matted and framed, as Christmas gifts, plus some of her work was featured in a book called, "Cleveland: Shaping the Vision." So, naturally, we have done a few picture studies of her works.
Now, you have to understand, my sister was a talker.....as in, people would quickly engage in conversation with a relative stranger at a party if they saw her heading their way, lol! But, as I was 8 years younger than her, my teen years and early twenties were often spent at her house listening to her "ramble on" about her work and the computer editing processes she was experimenting with (in the mid-80's). I gleaned a lot of information to point things out to my kids, and it has enhanced their studies of photographers and photography as art. Plus, it broadened their perspective of visual arts.
