Sketchbook Prompt Fifteen
Prompt written by Stephanie, Photography 5-6 student
Take a look at the life and work of Ruth Bernhard. http://www.womeninphotography.org/ruthbernhardAA.html
What inspired Bernhard's work? What was her passion?
Ruth Bernhard realized her extreme passion for photography as an art one day; while meeting a photographer on a beach. His work opened her eyes completely and showed her all the marvelous opportunities she had with this art form. She takes her photography of women as a masterpiece of the human figure. Her goal was to try and capture a woman’s natural beauty in the most fascinating way. Her goal was reached in every way possible. Latendresse Period 5 5-6
Inspiration for Ruth Bernhard most likely came from several different areas within her life, but it was mostly found when she met another photographer and had to opportunity to experience his body of work. This photographer obviously had a strong impact and influence on Bernhard’s artistic career. It was after that meeting, that the rest of her life would be devoted to creating imagery that would express the work of genius that is the human form. Her ambition is to capture the striking features and express the beauty of woman through photography.
When Ruth met Edward Weston on a beach, her whole view on photography changed. Her inspiration most likely came from all the deifferent areas she came from.
