For Part 2 of the Photographer’s Research, you will need to choose 3 images by the Photographer you can recreate. This is the purpose of the Project. You need to post the 3 images by your Photographer, their title and their source or link. Alongside or underneath the image by your Photographer you will post the 3 EMULATED or Imitated Images you created and edited.
5. Compare and Contrast: You will need to compare and contrast your final 3 images with the 3 images you choose by your photographer. Write about each piece (3 sentences.)
The first picture I recreated was a picture of a watch. I used my dad's watch that had a silver band with the 2 hand clock. I chose this because I think it is something everybody has and it can look really cool in a picture.
The second picture I took was of a bracelet. I used a bracelet that has a charm in the from and an adjustable 2 strings so it kid of looks like the twist in arky's picture. I chose this because again I feel that a lot of people will have a bracelet around.
The last picture I recreated was a picture on an iPad of a website. I used my old iPad and just pulled up a random website so it would look similar. I chose to do this because I feel like it is something that has been a recent topic of electronics.
6. Personal Artist Statement: Your images should tell a story. In 5 sentences tell me about your images. Use Visual Literacy vocabulary to enhance your report.
My first image of the watch I used a black background so it would look like the original picture. I also chose this because I feel like most people don't really wear this kind of watch that often and more people wear Apple Watches or electronic watches. The picture I took on my iPad was just a random website because I thought most people are doing a lot of things they used to do in person or on paper on the electronics now. The last picture I took was a bracelet. The original bracelet had more of a design and looked nicer but this was the bracelet I think I could make look similar. I also used a black background on this picture so it could look more like the original.
