Photographer Image - Migrant Mother - Dorothea Lange
Main Features of Photograph: - Woman with dark hair looking past camera - Two children resting on mother’s shoulder - Ragged clothing, shirts - Black and White
This is my version of the Migrant mother image. I tried recreating the image in terms of mood by mimicking the facial expressions and body language. I used similar clothing and background. Unfortunately, I could not get another young model to mimick the second child.
Painting Image - Girl with a Pearl Earring - Johannes Vermeer Key Features: - Black background - Blue and Yellow headscarf - Pearl Earring - Brown Jacket - White shirt - Portrait Orientation - Side view - Mouth open
Mimick Image
Our week 4 studio task really helped with this assignment as we practised mimicking Avedon images. For the assignment I wanted to create a more accurate portrayal of my chosen images so looked more into detail on clothing and background instead of just body positions.
