Josef Sudek


1. The photographer’s name is Josef Sudek. The book title is “Sudek”. The year of publication was 1978.

2. My two photos are on pages 1 and 8.

3. Photo 1 on page one is a piece of urban lighting. There is a fog that emphasizes the light sources as well as a contrasting silhouette of a person.

4. Photo 2 is also an urban lighting piece. There’s a cathedral in the background with many ornate patterns and crevasses for light to play off of.

5. I chose this book because it contained photography with the most similar tastes as myself (in the limited collection).

6. The photographer excels at lighting, contrasts, and timing. His pieces reflect an artist’s eye.

7. A ‘good’ photo would be an interesting subject matter, at the right time of day, in the right light, from the right angle.
