Perspective. Can you still be considered a photographer if you did not take the photo? What if you, as the photographer, had no control over the composing of the photograph except to give someone else the camera? As the photographer, you knew little information about the person with the camera but enough to expect a specific type of imagery? That&#8217;s your control, to know a statistical piece of data of the person. Our identity translates into a photograph on it&#8217;s own. My perspective as the photographer does not matter here in this context. Only my knowledge that the photographs will be this way over that way and for that to be the only intent. </p> <p>-Mariah Tyler 2013</p>http://mariahsphotobox.tumblr.com/post/47602814213http://mariahsphotobox.tumblr.com/post/47602814213Wed, 10 Apr 2013 00:35:07 -0500photographythe role of the photographercontemporarysomewhat postmodernmarcel duchampthoughtsprojects<p>spending time looking through the Yale College of Art Website&#8230; </p>http://mariahsphotobox.tumblr.com/post/47142140648http://mariahsphotobox.tumblr.com/post/47142140648Thu, 04 Apr 2013 17:55:52 -0500<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/63127590" width="400" height="300" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p>I have some pretty talented friends. </p>http://mariahsphotobox.tumblr.com/post/46915594503http://mariahsphotobox.tumblr.com/post/46915594503Tue, 02 Apr 2013 00:01:09 -0500talentfriendsvideo artartvideo<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/756148f3dccd634bd7d007a12c7daec6/tumblr_mkaffixUeF1ql9532o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Mariah Tyler 2013</p> <p>inspired by Cindy Sherman</p>http://mariahsphotobox.tumblr.com/post/46366435663http://mariahsphotobox.tumblr.com/post/46366435663Tue, 26 Mar 2013 16:52:30 -0500lightingphotographymariah tyler<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/0642417e5cde1c8e3984a66a1cd39dcd/tumblr_mkafdwMLBT1ql9532o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Mariah Tyler 2013</p>http://mariahsphotobox.tumblr.com/post/46366353838http://mariahsphotobox.tumblr.com/post/46366353838Tue, 26 Mar 2013 16:51:32 -0500lightingphotographyportraitmariah tyler<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/bf7bf25eaf4411b9243fe9442798e6d8/tumblr_mkaestXACt1ql9532o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Another attempt with soft light. </p> <p>Model: Melissa Brito</p> <p><strong>Mariah Tyler 2013</strong></p>http://mariahsphotobox.tumblr.com/post/46365278623http://mariahsphotobox.tumblr.com/post/46365278623Tue, 26 Mar 2013 16:38:53 -0500soft lightstudio lightingreflectorlightingphotographyportraittrackrunningmariah tyler<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/34e1d20dd2f2836caa6d27040cc6e449/tumblr_mkaep6YTT71ql9532o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Attempt at making soft light not appear so soft.</p> <p>Model: Melissa Brito</p> <p><strong>Mariah Tyler 2013</strong></p>http://mariahsphotobox.tumblr.com/post/46365097788http://mariahsphotobox.tumblr.com/post/46365097788Tue, 26 Mar 2013 16:36:42 -0500Lightingsoft lightphotographyportraitmariah tyler<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/4c6e412428aac6117d7cf38300091e17/tumblr_mjje2gnEt11ql9532o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>A photograph of the crowd</p> <p><strong>2013 Mariah Tyler</strong></p>http://mariahsphotobox.tumblr.com/post/45177482455http://mariahsphotobox.tumblr.com/post/45177482455Tue, 12 Mar 2013 02:27:52 -0500photographymariah tyler<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/ce32bac80903e89d37e3ddaf15d8c33c/tumblr_mjjdqdZu7n1ql9532o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.alexprager.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Alex Prager</strong></a></p>http://mariahsphotobox.tumblr.com/post/45177255994http://mariahsphotobox.tumblr.com/post/45177255994Tue, 12 Mar 2013 02:20:37 -0500photographyalex prager<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/5ee75e5a2a74eb7cfe34e51c791700b5/tumblr_mjjdkhdbml1ql9532o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>2013</strong></p> <p><strong>Mariah Tyler</strong></p>http://mariahsphotobox.tumblr.com/post/45177139136http://mariahsphotobox.tumblr.com/post/45177139136Tue, 12 Mar 2013 02:17:00 -0500photographymariah tyler
