Tealia Ellis Ritter was born in Illinois in 1978. She studied at Columbia College of Chicago. These images are from a body of work called, "The Live Creature and Ethereal Things." These images depict people from Ritter's daily life and strangers she meets. I find these images captivating not only because of the titling but also because of the captivating stare that each person has. In Ritter's work she states that although the subject matter has completely control of the space and what they where she creates the images to look like European society portraits.

As I travel to and from different areas of Europe I meet new people and visit some old friends. The fist two image is of friends I have met in my time here. It has been great so far to meet all these people from all over. I also had an amazing opportunity to see an old friend from Milwaukee while she studies in Paris, France.

Ryan McGinley is an American photographer who spent time traveling across the country with his friends. His images capture the purest form of freedom; his subjects lack clothes and all inhibition while they frolic in the natural landscapes. McGinley portrays the freedom of youth and the connection of the human body to the natural landscape through his photographs. More recently McGinley has been photographing nudes in the studio, which brings up the question: when is a naked body a nude and when is it "naked." His photographs ride the fence; his subjects express an emotional depth and are sometimes extremely vulnerable in front of the camera. I am so drawn to his portraits and his landscape/human interaction pieces because of their sensitivity of the human body and it's relation to the environment.
