Imitation Assignment

For my imitation assignment I chose Erwin Blumenfeld, one of the most influential fashion photographers in the 40s and 50s. I thought his work with transparent objects and reflection to highlight his subject was inspiring and beautiful. In my shoot with my dear friend Mary, I attempted to use some of his techniques (read: transparent scarf) to create photographs that embodied Erwin Blumenfeld"s work but I didn"t try to recreate a specific photograph. Here is one of his most famous pictures of Audrey Hepburn and a few of my best shots. Enjoy!

Assignment 3: Motion

To give the feeling of motion in photography, you can use blur. You can create motion if there is none by giving motion to your camera, or by changing the shutter speeds. If you use different (faster) shutter speeds you can see things that the human eye can't by freezing motion. For example, you can capture a hummingbird mid-hover so that it hangs completely without motion in the air. Motion is a great way to create a story and to make photographs more beautiful. Here are some of my favorite motion pictures that I took this week:
