I was really intrigued by the documentary style work Julie Dermansky did in 'bathtub' of Louisiana. A lot of her photos were shot at dusk and/or night and it added a significant amount of depth to her pieces. Her attention for detail really shows in the shots she takes, and her work on controversial and devastating topics is really inspiring. She is able to capture moments of extreme emotion such as the work she's done of natural disasters, global climate threats, etc.
Even though I tend not to be interested in documentary or journalistic photos, I really enjoyed looking through Dermansky's portfolio. She has a style the uses the photographs to create an authentic relationship between the viewer and the subject in the photo. I also appreciate her determination to get the "perfect" photo by getting down and dirty to where things that may not be the easiest to get to or the most comfortable to be in. Dermansky takes moments that are intense and unforgiving and is able to translate them into amazing pieces of work.
