Free+Choice

==The artists that have influenced me the most for the free choice assignment, include Arnold Newman, Edward Weston and Nancy Burson. I like Arnold Newman's dynamic composition in each of his portraits, I hope to portray a dynamic intriguing composition in my portraits. I like Edward Weston's timeless black and white images they create a contrast and value to the image. As soon as I saw how Nancy captured bare photos of people faces, with a simple background I knew she would be in my final three master artist. Therefore I choose to put the one that she took of a women aging overtime because I will present my photos in a series similar to that but with face expressions and different colors to bring out my personality.I will develop a complex composition by taking portraits of me from an angle and by posing to create angles within the piece. I will use the rotating and cropping tool on photoshop to highlight the composition in my pieces. The two main elements I will focus on for this particular project include movement and value. I want to create value in my photos by editing the colors of them to make them stand out and show my personality. I want to create movement to show how I am living in the present and that I am happy with my life. Presenting my final images as still would not reflect my identity or personality therefore movement and value is everything in this project. The concept of the project is to display my personality through a series of photos, I haven't decided how many yet or where they will be taken. By varying the movement and value in the photos I will make the series unique to me and my artwork. == Work Cited [|"Arnold Newman." //Arnold Newman//. N.p., n.d. Web. 12 May 2014. ]
