Photographer Highlight- Man Ray This week I would like to bring attention to the photographer Man Ray. Man Ray was a very talented man who explored several artistic mediums (painting, media, photography, etc.). Although he had his own fair share of strange obsessions (woman and eroticism) he produced many wonderful piece of art and photography. Not only was he a photographer but he was also very influential in the Surrealism and Dadaism of photography. I chose to highlight Man Ray because I am drawn to several of his photographs. One in particular being Les Larmes from 1932. He is also known for the "Rayogrammes" which are created not with a camera but by exposing objects on photo-paper and emphasizing shadows and light.
