Reflection Reason why I chose this artist was because his name was the first one on the list, he takes photos of people, and the recent photos are not older than I am. There are photos that I like, like the photo he took of G-Dragon. There are also photos I don’t like. I like how he shoots photos of celebrities, since they are people that I have seen on tv. But the way he shoots has no variation. Most of them are standing and just posing. That’s about it.
