His work is pretty amazing actually, there something that no one would ever take a picture of or even want to lay it out so they could take a picture like that. People that take pictures like that is unique or either they have that much time on there hands! They have that one thing in the picture that captures your eye!
H.Cooper Per.1
Personally I don't like his work at all. I find it to be boring and it doesn't have anything cool that stands out. I would prefer to see more pops of color.
K.Derschmidt P.1
For these photographs, I think these shots are much harder to capture than regular photos. One reason people might like these photos more than photos of people or things that are more recognizable, is because it allows the viewer to have a broader range of thought to determine what the item is.
J.Richardson P.1
I actually really like Ciro Totku's pictures. I thought they were pretty good. That's because his pictures are very unique and something I have never really seen before.
B. Watson Period: 1
Someone would be attracted to his work because the way that he takes the photos it makes you want to look. The pictures make you want to look because of the color and the shape and form of the pictures.
A.Deeds P.1
I like his work because it requires some actual thinking not just pointing and shooting. I would like to do this type of photography because it is complicated and it is up to the viewer to make what ever they want of it. Abstract photography is creative and thoughtful.
M Silva P. 1
I have a mixed opinion of Totku's work. Some of them are interesting, but others I don't think have a purpose and aren't very eye- catching. Abstract isn't my favorite type of art.
K.Kolsut Period.1
I think his work is very interesting. My favorite is the plastic lake one. His work is very quirky.
-A. Haunschild
I dont like his work, its of random objects and its really up close on all of them. Most of them you can't even make out what it is. And the black and white ones just look like paint on the way. He could change it up a little instead of everything being up close.
T.Horne P1
It's a little bland for me, because i like to have a main focus. other people might like photos like this, because they might be more into abstract detail. I don't believe i would ever have a photo like this on my wall.
I think that Totku's work is very interesting to look at and I found something that I liked in every photograph. One of his photos I could see myself hanging above my couch would be Constellation Orion. I think this photo is beautiful and it's just interesting to me, personally.
M.Christensen p.1
I think that his work is Unique. He puts a lot of effort in to setting them up how he likes them in a scene. He sets the scene and the mood of the picture to his liking and so there are no other pictures like it.
-S.McQuown period 1
I think the work he does is pretty cool. i really like the lake mad of plastic. but there are some that i didn't really notice either.
G.Taylor P.1
I think the art work is really different and it's not something you always see. I like it because it's different from most art. I would be interested to see how the artist made this pictures and what they before and after pictures look like.
D. Riley P.1
i really like Totku's work. i love looking at abstract pictures, but when it comes time for me to make my own its so hard for me. im not very good at thinking outside of the box.
T.Hess P.1
His work is unique and interesting it has pretty backgrounds. Someone would probably attracted to this type of work because it is colorful and also not but the way the photo looks attracts a persons eye. I could see one of the colorful pictures above my couch because they are pretty.
V. Smith P.1
I think his photo's are good and only certain one's are really good. They're like boring almost, nothing makes them stand out. I personally like most of them but it's nothing I would be like they check out this guy, it would be hey check out this picture.
S.Quintanilla. Per.1
I think his pictures are boring. There's nothing living in them and it seems like there's just random objects. I don't like them and I couldn't really see any of them hanging above my couch someday.
M.Orton P1
I personally like Totku's work! I like the abstract pictures because its not something we see to much of on advertisement. Its something outside of the box and its great to see people to go outside the box in art.
J.Rosales P.1
I don't like his work personally. I think it's boring and plain. Someone might like it because it's different. I would put his ocean picture above my couch if i had to.
S. Matheson Period. 1
Totku has a very unique, abstract style, I actually really do like it. When photographing inanimate objects, there's no model that can mess up a pose, all of the control is in the photographer. A photo of his that I could see on my wall would be the one titled, "My pilot" in album 1, my eyes were just drawn to that photo out of all of them, I can't really explain why I like it.
T. Losness, Period 1
I really enjoyed Totku's work. His images were interesting and drew my attention in. I liked not knowing what some of the images were. His images are different and more intriguing that normal photos of people or places. I would hang the Water Mounts photo in my house for sure.
A.Champ p.1.
I think his work is very interesting. It's definitely not something that you see everyday, which I. I think some things are kind of plain and boring.
G. Williams P.2
I like his work. i think it is all really creative but it looks like he gets lucky with some of these shots. My favorite picture is the one in album 3 where it is like the sky and it has green and pink. That would be a picture i would hang up in my house.
K. Nagel P.2
His work is cool. It is very plain. I really like it though.
M. Melhus. P.2
His work is really unique. I dont think it would be easy to get these pictures. I like them, and I think people would put his photography work up in the house or at their work.
T.Fryett P.2
I think that this work is so awesome. Its creative, and you dont know what it is, and it looks awesome and challenging not only for the eye but also the artist.
A.Lindberg p.2
Some of this work is really good. But some of it is a little blah.. Nothing really to some of them. The ones that i like have a lot of color and you can see whats in the photograph.
T.Beard Per.2
Totku's work is very interesting. It's very beautiful to look at, and you can't really tell what the photo is of. Seeing his work really helps seeing what a good abstract still like can look like.
M McClure P. 2
People might like this kind of Photography because it puzzles the mind. It's something that will make you keep going back to the same photo and wonder, "I wonder what that is". It's something thats will attract people from all over just because they don't know what it is.
A.Herberger P.2
I think his work is very good. The pictures look like they are almost not real, which could be good or bad depending on how you look at it but I see it as a good thing. He is very talented at what he does.
I think his work is very interesting. I also think it's very cool looking. I would hang the pictures of the ice above my couch it's pretty.
A.boland p.2
I think that totku's work is very.. different. His uses of lighting and shapes in a very unique way. I enjoyed looking through his pictures and wouldn't mind having a couple in my possession.
M.Preston P.2
Totku's work is amazing. People like his work because you van try to make a meaning of the pictures.The picture with the long hallway and the red door at the end was my favorite picture. It reminds me of the hard work and fear that can come from going to a new place.
K.Seibold P.2
I dont really like his work. I thought it was plain and not very interesting. but i liked the one with the boat on the water with a mountain in the background. that is the one i'd hang above my couch.
I think his work is really really cool. I like how you can't really tell what the picture is of so you have to use your imagination. My favorite picture is the one with the sky thats like green and pink. I could see that hanging in my house someday.
S Lovell
P. 2
I really like the photo called 'Sity Sunset.' I could for sure see it hanging in my house someday. I like it because it's unique and it has pretty colors in it.
C.Rankin
P.2
I think that his photos are pretty cool. They are pretty good. Its something that I haven't really seen much of.
A Sauceda Period:2
I think his work is very good. The pictures look like they are almost not real, which could be good or bad depending on how you look at it, but I see it as a good thing. He is very talented at what he does.
M.Whitman p-2
what i think of the photos is they were very fascinating. They were not the coolest things i have seen but they were okay. I would rate the photos a 6 out of 10.
T.Fischer Period.2
I think that toku's work is very interestingly posed. I think that this work is polished as in cleaned up a bit and not natural. I think that I would try to make things look more natural.
A.Willis P.2
Um im my personal opinion their work is boring to me because of the lighting and colors. and what their photographing just isn't interesting to me. So I wouldn't hang their work in my house at all.
A.Thomson P2
I think somebody would be attracted to this photo because it is seeing everyday things in a way you would never think to see them. I think his work is very well thought out and he does a great job setting them up. I would hang the picture of the first snow at hirayama lake because it looks like a mountain but at the same time it doesn't look like a mountain!
B Ennis Period 2
I like this one A lot http://www.totku.com/volfram.html Its blue and yellow and I don't know that's the one that drew me in the most. I like his work but I feel like he needs more color photos, because I like the color more. Someone could be caught up in the idea of all the different things that picture could be.
T.Tinker P.2
:D Fiiiinnnn!!!!!! Pictures are all different n allow you to use your imagination to figure out what its a picture of. With infinite possibilities. If I was going to hang a piece of his work up it would be something from category 2, 4, 5, 6 or 7
I can see why some people would be attracted to this kind of photography, just because it offers incomplete scenarios. Though I can hardly say it is stunning to me. It seems like you find a corner of a play house in chucky cheese and take a picture of it. This kind of photography makes no sense to me. The only one I would think to hang would have been the image involving the island and boat.
J Meier
Per2
His work its definetly artistic and creative. In some of the pictures you cant tell what the object is and that can be a good thing for abstract.
A. Sprague p 2
I think that people are attracted to this kind of work because all it is is art and what the photographer pictured in his mind before they took it.
I think his photos are very calming and simple. I'm not sure how I like abstract art. It looks nice and so simple that it is intriguing. And yet it's kind of confusing and doesnt always make sense.
R. Drake Period 3
My opinion is that this persons photography is pretty cool. Most the stuff you cant tell what it is, which makes it good abstract photos. I like these kind of pictures, mostly because they are just interesting to look at and guess what the things in the images are.
K.Kruger Per.3
I think that his work is really cool and interesting. I like how he sets it up. And i also think that he takes his time on taking it.
S.Snyder P.3
I think people would be attracted to this type of photography instead of recognizable things because you can find your own meanings from them. Instead of looking at it and getting one meaning that the photographer wants.
B. Comiskey P.3
I think that these images are okayyy, but their not that great theirs nothing that my eyes goes directly through it.
N,Vega. P3
I like his work. I think most of them are really cool looking, and unique. someone would be attracted to those pictures because they make you think what they are. I would rather look at these pictures than look at recognizable pictures because, you have to look at it for a while to think about what it it.
S. Kutsch
Per. 3
This type of photography can attract all types of people. It doesn't take much to look at a picture but these photos make you think and try to get you to understand them, which I like.
E. Angier P.3
I think his work is really interesting. I think he takes his time on taking these photographs. I like the way he sets up his pictures.
M Cordill. Per 3
People might do this art work because they dont like working with people. Maybe they dont know any want or even want to photograph something else.
B. Little Per.3
HIs work is framing with archetectural images. He makes them and frames them very well, i pooped. His work reminds me of pretty flowers and windmills with water.
D.Podloujnyi Per.3
his work is defiantly creative. some the pictures you cant tell what it is and others you can but the ones you cant are very abstract.
B.Nowland P.3
Its different style of picture. I don't like it because its to confusing. I don't see anything in the photo.
D Guisinger
P.3
My opinion of his work is that you can hardly guess what some of the pictures are. I like how it makes you guess what they are, but in fact you will never know, unless you are him. And i like how he uses color to emphasize some his pictures.
L.Katzberg Period 3
I like his work. Its colorful and makes you think. Also I really like the one of the island and half the cloud though it doesn't look really abstract.
S. Jost per 3
I like his work. I think that his works just abstract enough to were you can still sorta see what it is and that cool. Abstract looks like its going to be hard.
E.Wymore Period 3
His work is very simple but it is interesting to look at. In some of his pictures I can't really tell what it is but that's what I like about it. You have to put time into looking at it.
S.Orozco P.3
I feel that many people would be attracted to this kind of photography. It doesnt have alot in the photo but the photes are nice. They have messages inside the image.
T.Munoz Per.3
I personally really like this guys photos. They are very cool looking and well planned out. You can tell that he takes his time to set up his photos.
B. Leonetti Per 3
I think Totku's work is the perfect definition of abstract still life. Looking at his pictures I have no idea what most of them are. His photos keep me interested, though. People would be attracted to this because it keeps you interested and guessing. On page one, the photo with the four boxes or whatever, I would hang that about my couch someday.
R.Simmons
Period 3
I really like his work. It gives of an interesting vibe and makes me want to continue looking. I think that's why most people would be attracted to his work. They don't always know what they're looking at, and that's intriguing.
J. Gallagher Per.3
I think that people like it because its out of the ordinary. They can be cool pictures, or they can be cool, and weird all at once. I like them even know they are weird.
A.Stumbaugh P.3
i really dont understand the concept. this person takes pictures of the most random stuff and some how he gets the most perfect writing and some of the most interesting pictures that i have ever scene. i dont think that i would be good at these kinds of photos because i would not what to know what to take pictures of in order to create this style of photography.
J. Benjamin P.3
I think that the project he did was a little strange. The pictures always look cool but it is just weird things that he puts together. I think that the colors look good swell.
k. Polkk period3
I think he is really good at what he does. The pictures he takes are really cool, I like them. Personally i would hang them up on my wall or something.
c.brewer p.1
This photography is very eye appleaing. Many people could look at this art work all the time. He has a awesome style.
J.Martin per.1
