Thomas Demand (German) is a very interesting photographer. At first glance you think that he is just taking a picture of a room, but it turns out he actually constructs the set and then takes images. Usually the images have a cultural or political meaning. He aims at identifying the difference between what is true and what is constructed. It is nearly impossible to tell the difference between the two in his photos. He starts off by using a photo, then recreates it out of cardboard, then takes the images. The models he makes are life sized.
Robert Doisneau was a french photographer who took pictures mainly during world war 2. His photographs are very interesting and he caught very candid-seeming great moments. It was probably difficult using the camera available at the time period. I really like the image of the fallen horse and the cyclo cross. A lot of his images are of daily life, and Doisneau as a photographer was very interested in the simple marvels of daily life. He is renouned for his image Kiss by the hotel de ville.
