#15 - Emulation

Emulate a Photographer and Power Point Presentation

First, research a famous photographer's work that you enjoy.  Give a brief description of the style of the photographer you choose in the beginning of your PowerPoint. 

Pick three photographs by that photographer and try to duplicate those images using your own style and/or variation.  You don't have to copy the image, but instead be inspired by the photographer's work.  Put the orginial work on a PowerPoint slide and then your work on the next slide.  You will be presenting this to the class on the 30th.

Here is a short list of photographers to get you started:
Diane Arbus
David Hockney
Edward Weston
Elliot Erwitt
Annie Liebovitz
Mary Ellen Mark
Ralph Meatyard
Jerry Uelsmann
May Ray
William Eggleston
Eugene Atget
Walker Evans

Create interesting photographs of objects or people that are broken and/or scraped.  I want you think think about this literally and figuratively.  Here are some examples:








Some of these are more unique and interesting than the others, but I want to give you an idea of what I am looking for.  As always, pay attention to composition and lighting and make your photo interesting!
