An-My Le Video

I thought that An-My Le's work was different because of her interest in the relationship of people's activities to different landscapes, specifically in the area of military and war activity. She is not so interested in the psychology of people, and the way that she photographs almost builds people into the landscapes through different techniques. In the photos that she took of actors reenacting war scenes the actors become part of the wildlife in a way because of the way that she frames them and how they blend in. I liked that she shot those in black and white as well because it related the photos more to the history, and I'm sure it would be difficult to distinguish those from actual historical photos. I also appreciate her choice of shooting in color at certain times and not at others. I agree that at times color can bring out much different things in a photo than black and white would. I think you can really change the meaning and focus of a photograph simply by choosing either black and white or color to shoot it in.
