Ralph Gibson

Ralph Gibson was an American art photographer born on January 16, 1939. Early in Gibson's life he enlisted in the United States Navy and had became a photographers mate until 1960. He then continued his studies at the San Francisco Art Institute. Following his time at the institute, he began his career as an assistant to Dorothea Lange for a period of time and then went on to work with Robert Frank on 2 films. Gibson went about his life having a very successful career, accomplishing many things and winning many awards.
Ralph Gibson created many Photographs and Monographs, but was best know for his photographic books. His images often conveyed fragments with erotic and mysterious undertones. I really think that Gibson's artwork was truly amazing to me and really spoke about the true photographer that Gibson was.
I had chosen the Photo below because, as said above, it conveys erotic and mysterious undertones. This image is really interesting and appealing as it is really kind of mysterious as her hand and right eye are completely black. I am not sure how Gibson was able to achieve these sort of images but they are magnificent.
