ARTIST RESEARCH - Wynn Bullock - Photography

Wynn Bullock is a 20th century photographer, born 1902 and living until the mid 70's. He worked mainly with black and white photographs, doing one collection in color called Color Light Abstractions. His work is based mostly in nature, there are very organic shapes in his pieces. Few have people in them, and when they do the person is often not the focus of the piece.

i really enjoy Bullock's work. I think his pieces are refreshing, so many nature photographs focus on some sort of message about preserving the rainforest, or recycling, which might just be related to the time period we live in. But in Bullock's work he uses nature as a canvas, or as a painter would use a color, it's more of just another tool he can use than a message.
