Assignment: Best Copycat

I just finished a History of Photography class, and two of the assignments were to photograph "In the Guise" of a photographer we had learned about in the class. Essentially we were copying the style of the photographer, or the idea... These are my best copies:


This one has the inspiration photo on the top. Carleton Watkins took this photo of Yosemite called "The Best General View." It is now a place where millions of tourists flock to take the exact same picture, in the exact same spot that Watkins did. I was on tour in Wyoming and decided to take the best general view of Wyoming.




This photo was actually in my store of photos I had already taken, and I turned it in anyway. It worked for copying the style of Henri Cartier-Bresson. If you haven't seen his work, you should look him up. He's fantastic.

That's all.

A Bit of Childhood

This is my niece Rachel. I found these pictures just now from when she was baptized and we went to the temple to take pictures.






She is a 9 year old girl thru and thru! What a cutie!

Yes, I know it's a little lame, I'm blogging on a Friday night... I even have a fiance and I am at the library procrastinating the lingering hours left before finals.

But I wanted to start posting my work, so here it is. These are from last semester, McCall was so beautiful, and so patient in my first try at a Bridal shoot.
