Richard Avedon - Annie Leibovitz - Cindy Sherman




 * 1) Write a brief wiki page about the artists you are working from and tell how and why they have influenced you. After going through numerous artist through the list I found some of Richard Avedon, Annie Leibovitz, and Cindy Sherman's work interesting and unique. Before starting me research I had a small idea of what I wanted to do, but after looking at these three artists and many more my idea has grown and I have a better idea what I want to do. They have shown me ways to go above and beyond with the work I plan on doing.
 * 2) Explain how you will develop a complex composition. What Photoshop or other techniques will you use? The way I'm planning on taking the photographs is by having them more close up so you can observe the detail and texture of the facial features. I will enlighten these pictures and make them more abstract with Photoshop as well.
 * 3) Choose at least one principle of design that you will focus on and try to use with this project. Explain what it is and why you're using it. The principles I want to focus on is unity and emphasis. I'm going to take several pictures that are different, but with the concept I'm going to create will unify them together. With emphasis in each picture I decide to use their will be a main focus to each frame.
 * 4) Explain how you will develop a complex concept, going beyond just a pretty picture. Will you develop a series? Will you merge many photos into one? What will you do to make sure your image(s) are complex and unique? I am planning on creating a complex concept by thoroughly thinking about a creative idea before moving forward and shooting pictures. The way I will make my models pose with how they look and feel will make it go beyond just a pretty picture and into something with a work of art, another thing I plan on doing is using different lighting to make the photos more dramatic. I'm thinking that the best way to show off my work is through a series of pictures displayed.
