Photographer Inspiration Assignment

Many famous photographers are well known because they have their own “thing”. Examining a photographer's own individual style can assist new photographers in finding their own style. In this assignment, you will be choosing one famous photographer whose work you admire and you will echo their techniques. If the photographer you choose has one particular photo that you’d like to take inspiration from, that is okay to do as well.


 * 1) Take at least 20 new photographs, implementing a skill/concept you have learned about in this class (i.e: rule of thirds, bird’s/ant’s eye view, negative space, converging lines, etc). [25 pts]


 * 1) Assure that your photographs distinctly convey your famous photographer’s specific style. Dedicate a day just for discovering the style of the famous photographer you choose and how you are going to emulate that style. Here are some examples: [20 pts]
 * Edward Weston ( [|__http://www.westongallery.com/weston_edward_pages/weston_edward_thumbs.htm__] )
 * Weston focused a lot on shape and form in his work. He paid close attention to the relationship between depth and lines.


 * Vivian Maier ( [|__http://www.vivianmaier.com/gallery/street-1/__] )
 * Maier was engrossed with taking photographs of random people she saw on the street. Her photographs really seem to tell a story about the subject being photographed.


 * Ansel Adams ( [|__http://www.artnet.com/artists/ansel-adams/__] )
 * Adams was very focused on landscape photography. The wide range of values in his photographs are what make them so powerful. This can be achieved by converting a photo to black and white.


 * Annie Leibovitz ( [|__http://www.vogue.com/tag/photographer/annie-leibovitz/__] )
 * Leibovitz photographs her subjects in a dramatic and exaggerated manner. She is well known for her crisp and well lit artwork.


 * 1) Create a sub folder in Google Docs called __Photographer Inspiration__ and then upload 20 images you photographed and edited. [15 pts]


 * 1) Create a page on your home wiki called __Photographer Inspiration__ (with your initials in the name). [15 pts]
 * Post your 6 best images on your __Photographer Inspiration__ page.
 * Make sure to create a link at the top of the page (before your photos) to your Google Docs page called __Photographer Inspiration__.
 * Create link to the Tully Photography Home Page as well as the “Your Pages” link.

 * Saved as a jpeg and named 1st initial, last name, inspo, and numbers 1-20 (i.e: efergusoninspo1)

Make sure the link from your resource image page appears on your assignment page and give a citation to the artist you took it from including a link back to their page. [15 pts]
