Photographer Report (Vincent LaForet)

1. Vincent Laforet
2. 1975-20..
3. Vincent began his career when he was just 15 years old.  He started out as a photojournalist and had internships with newspapers.  By the time he was 25, he had become the youngest staff photographer for the New York Times.  He has publicized to move to commercial photography and motion work.  He is now married to his wife, Amber,  and has a son Noah, and a daughter, Eliana
4.  Vincent is a famous photographer for a variety of subjects but what I see most is people and having them in a "tilt shift" aspect.  Many of his pictures appear to be "miniature" or "fake".  He mentions on his blog..."I have a terrible weakness for gadgets, love to meet interesting people every day, refuse to make an image I’ve seen before – basically I love to try new things".  He really shows each personality of each of the people he takes a picture of.  Also  on his website he photo shot a commercial add for famous footwear.  He states  that "He loves toys" such as the cameras and all that they allow him to do in photo shooting.
5.  I really enjoy his pictures that he shows and the way that I can relate to the "tilt shift" method because I just recently used that for a project.  Also I love the "moving camera" too because video is often just as interesting as a simple photograph.  My opinion of his work is miraculous.  He truly has an eye for the camera.  He makes his pictures so fascinating by the different effects he uses in each photo. It is great because he really knows how to pull in the viewer into each and every one of his pictures.
