Jordan Matter




Jordan Matter is a photographer that is well known for taking pictures of dancers in unique locations and ways. He began his career as a professional actor, and became a photographer by chance. Matter's grandfather (Herbert Matter) was a highly successful photographer and his father (Alex Matter) was a film director. So, you could say being around the camera is in his blood. Images of humanity moved Matter and made him interested in how to take intimate pictures of people. Matter is also known for his 10 minute challenges, where he only has 10 minutes to take pictures of dancers in different locations and in unique ways.

  1. I love the weightlessness captured in these photos. It really adds a depth and deeper understanding to them.

  2. I adore how Jordan Matter is able to capture these shots so clearly with his subjects being in motion. He would of had to time his shots perfectly in order to take these shots. Thanks for sharing!

Last Blog Post

This is my last blog post for my senior year, so I'd like to say that I am so glad I took DMA classes throughout high school. I've learned so much and I wouldn't be where I am today without my experiences in the classes. I will be attending the Savannah College of Art and Design this coming fall and I couldn't be more excited. I'm thinking about majoring and working in the film industry, however, I will be pursuing all and any forms of art in the future as well. From a fellow artist: take the opportunities that you are given and work hard doing what you love.

Speed Painting

This a painting made in Photoshop by a guy who goes by the name " The Concept Painter " on Youtube. He does lots of Photoshop speed painting videos and also air brush videos. This particular painting took him 3.5 hours to complete and was made using a drawing tablet similar to the ones we use in our class.

Another Comic Book Artist (Woo!): Annie Wu

 If you have talked to me for more than one minute, I am a huge nerd. So, I am making another post about comic book artists. This time it's Annie Wu. She's a comic book artists who lives in Chicago, and is one of my inspiration artists for my sustained investigation. A lot of her work is dramatic with deep and dark lines with bold colors which is makes style perfect for where I first found her work. I first saw her work in the Black Canary book in 2017. Eventually, I will talk about Marvel comic book artists, but not today. If you want to check out more of her work, here is her website:  https://www.anniewuart.com/
