Part 1
I am very proud of this image. I was going for an imitation of Kirkland’s classic look from the photograph on the right. A good friend of mine, featured on the left, has a very classic style to her. I then used Photoshop to make the colors and background of my photo more classic, such as using warmer colors and making the image look a little more blurry. It was very fun to do given that this is a new skill for me.
The hardest part of this assignment was trying to get inside my photographer’s head to see what effect and purpose had behind his works. I felt this was the way to best create images like his. This was hard to do because art is subject to our own perspectives. To understand the Kirkland, I had to change my perspective. However, it turns out this is a great way to improve my photographs. From now on, I will try to remember to change my perspective, or how I am seeing the photo before me, in order to consider new way to improve my images.
