Hans Neleman is a Dutch born photographer. However, he lives and works in New York. His more recent work for advertising campaigns are very new edge and this is the same with many of his portraits but my personal favourite image is in 'American Photography Five', and is a very warmly lit image. This image has been side lit, maybe using natural light but something has been used to defuse the light. For some reason, on my personal opinion, the phone seems to be floating which makes it stand away from the image background and look 3D. Many of his images from the series created for Data Logic are of the similar lighting but they have different subject matters, however they all tie in together and work greatly together.

Stephen Shore
Shore is a self taught photographer from New York, but works all over the USA with his interesting concept on American scenes and objects, he was also a big person within colour photography at the time. The two images I chose to talk about are from his 'American Surfaces' series. I can't strangely talk about them much separately, but when placed together (like they are in the book) move can be said about them. They are strong images in their own right, with good uses of colour and exposure in both, but the composites work better as a pair. However strangely enough as a two they remind me of TV dinners.
