Jennabug44’s Creative Photography

Short Bio:

Wynn Bullock was an American photographer that is notable for his photographs of nudes and of landscapes on the West Coast. He started in the 1920s with a career as a concert tenor. While studying in Paris, he was inspired by visual artists, in particular, Man Ray. Upon his return to the US, he focused on a career as a photographer. He was a student at the Art Center School in Los Angeles, and in 1948, he met and began a lifelong friendship with Edward Weston. Bullock also explored the commercial side of photography, founding Arrow Camera. His photographs are in over 90 museum collections. Some of his photographs were used by Edward Steichen in 1955 in his The Family of Man, a vast exhibition consisting of over 500 photos that depicted life, love and death in 68 countries.

My 2 cents:

Bullock’s work has a very mythical, fantasy feel to it. The use of nudity in his images captures a sense of vulnerability and innocence. The continued use of “fog-like” mass in his landscape images delivers a mysterious environment. I enjoy Bullock’s work and would like to research more of him.
