Mara

Mara's work has the special gift of being all over the place yet can pull it all off as Mara's work. She works with portraits, still-lifes, street photography, and flowers. One thing that flows through all her work however is her constant use of strong shapes and angles. She generally does not use studio lights and just works with the light around her. She has both profound colors in her photos and Strong black and white photos. Her work is truly sporadic.

I chose these 2 specific pieces of work from Mara because, 1 I truly feel these are very strong photos, but 2 sum up her sporadic style. The first one expresses the still life photography. It demonstrates her use of bold colors and sharp angles. The second photo sums up her portraits. It has beautiful contrating colors. The emotion feels very real and candid though it is fabricated.
