Evaluation

For this assignment we have been asked to replicate a famous photograph. We have been given six weeks to complete this assignment. I photographed Molly doing a pose which was the same as another photograph. My work is about 'flexibility' and how you can replicate any image if you use your imagination and get the right equipment, and take all of the points from the other image into a count.

 I developed my idea because i was looking for photographs of the internet and wanted to replicate a famous fashion photograph. However i also wanted to do an image in black and white and that was very challenge, so i developed my idea to make it more challenging for me. Throughout this assignment i didn't change my idea as i still wanted to base it on fashion. 

I used a variety of equipment, i used: 

- The studio

- Camera

- Studio lighting

- Boxes

- Model

All of these pieces of equipment helped me to replicate and image. I learnt how to change the studio lighting  so that it was the same as the photograph i was copying. Also I've learnt to use my imagination when copying an image. 

During this shoot i came across a few problems. I found that the boxes we were using were to small, so to resolve this i change the boxes so that they were bigger and easier to use. Also when my model was putting her feet on the boxes they kept moving, so to overcome this problem i put a few heavier objects on to the boxes to keep them in the same place. When editing the image, i edited it to much when liquifying the image so i had to re-edit the image so that it was edit to much. 

I am pleased with my outcome, because it looks very similar to the famous photograph. I was pleased with the way it worked as well because my model didn't let me down, and was the right person to ask. However if i was asked to do this assignment again i would change the photograph i had chosen to replicate and make it more interesting. Also i would change how i edited the photograph to make it as close the the famous photograph as i could.
