Artist's Biography – (50-75 words): Philip Dicorcia was born in Hartford, Connecticut in 1951. He studied at Boston's School of the Museum of fine Arts and received a Master of the fine arts in Photography from Yale in 1979. Di Corcia pieces were first shown, in 1977, in-group exhibitions around the United States and Europe. His first personal show was in 1985; since then he's had one-person exhibitions in galleries all over the world some including: Museum of Modern Art (New York), Whitechapel Art Gallery (London). His style was to set up lights on the street and take snapshots of people. He would also set up scenes that looked like everyday moments, but were actually carefully planned.
Personal Reaction – (50 – 75 words): I love his work. The lighting in each image is just amazing. I really love how in almost every picture there are two sources of light coming from different directions and just creating this beautiful light on his subjects. I would take photos the way he did. My favorite piece is untilted. I love how he took a picture of the light source and there is a light source on the light source. The focusing is interesting as well.
