Lori Nix (born 1969) is an American photographer known for her photographs of handmade dioramas.
Lori Nix was born in Norton, Kansas in 1969. [1] She graduated from Truman State University in 1993. [2] She went on to study photography at the graduate level at Ohio University, and moved to Brooklyn, New York in 1999, where she has lived and worked for almost 20 years. [3]
Nix considers herself a "faux landscape photographer", and her work is influenced by extreme weather and disaster films. [4] She works without digital manipulation, using miniatures and models to create surreal scenes and landscapes, building dioramas that range from 20 inches to six feet in diameter. [5] They take several months to build, and two to three weeks to photograph. For many years Nix used a large format 8 × 10 film camera [6] [7] but in 2015 she started photographing her dioramas with a digital camera. Nix works with Kathleen Gerber, a trained glass artist, constructing most of the scenery by hand from scratch, using "foam and glue and paint and anything else handy." [8] After the final photograph is made, Nix harvests the diorama for pieces for future use and then destroys it. [9] [10] [11]

David Goldblatt HonFRPS was a South African photographer noted for his portrayal of South Africa during the apartheid period. After apartheid's end, he concentrated more on the country's landscapes. Goldblatt's body of work was distinct from that of other anti-apartheid artists in that he photographed issues that went beyond the violent events of apartheid and reflected the conditions that led up to them. His forms of protest have a subtlety that traditional documentary photographs may lack; Goldblatt said, "[M]y dispassion was an attitude in which I tried to avoid easy judgments.... This resulted in a photography that appeared to be disengaged and apolitical, but which was in fact the opposite." Goldblatt also wrote journal articles and books on aesthetics, architecture, and structural analysis.
