Mary Pforr- Week 12 Artist post



Artist: Sungsoo Lee
Photo Cred: sungsoolee.com

i. These photos and the majority of Lee's work are incredibly underexposed, and obviously, black and white. The under exposure and high contrast create extreme contrasts and shadows giving each photo almost an infinite depth to dark. The lighting is very selective and emphasizes the subject.
ii. There is a constant focus on form and hierarchy. The lighting shines on the subject in the photo and the hierarchy goes downward with the contrasting shadows.
iii. Though we have not had any experience with black and white photography in class, I very much enjoy underexposed photos that create dynamic contrast such as these.
