- Duane Michals
Duane Michals is an American photographer who creates narratives within a series, blending image with text in a format like cinematic sequences.
He received a BA from the University of Denver in 1953 and worked as a graphic designer until his involvement with photography in the late 1950s.
He first made significant, creative strides in the field of photography during the 1960s and manipulated the medium to communicate narratives.
When I researched him, I surprised at his various photograph style. Some images were really simple and calm, on the other hand, some images were quite fancy using different materials. I like both styles of his works.

Dr.heisenberg's Magic Mirror - Duane Michals, 1998
↳ Actually, I saw this sequential image for the first time in digital art class. I tried to guess the meaning of this image, however, it was quite difficult to understand.
I can see a woman who are looking the mirror and a big mirror which is reflecting her strangely. I thought the reflection that is in the mirror expresses the part of her face which she wants to cure. I like this image because I always look in the mirror, so it looks like me.
↳ This image is an everyday photograph in the toilet. It was familiar to me because it is the outgo preparation process of most people including me. The reason I chose this image to introduce on my blog is that it is difficult to express implicitly, although it means just one process by using a material.
"Michals repeatedly emphasizes the importance of capturing not the appearance of a situation, but the experience."
⇢ When I saw this sentence in a web page(http://adcglobal.org/hall-of-fame/duane-michals/), I realized the importance of experience. Experience of all part will be helpful for my life later. Actually, I also like his works, I really respect his mind.
