Masters+Photo-+Giordano

Madison Giordano

I am using Annie Leibovitz, Arnold Newman, Richard Avedon, Cartier Bresson, Katy Grannan and Austin Mann for my inspiration. There is a trend between these 6 artists, they are all portrait artists.
 * 1) Write a brief wiki page about the artists you are working from and tell how and why they have influenced you.

 As of right now I am going to use the principle movement and photograph people in action and use lines of the body to force your eyes throughout, but this is still in the air depending upon how I shoot the pictures. My concept is to take pictures of people in action in different places, showing how people live their lives. Even though people may be different we all do the basic things the same; laugh, smile, talk, frown. My pictures will be interesting and fun to look at. I will either make them polaroids or photo strips to give the same feel of just pictures. They are complex because how I post them will be either tacked onto a board (my craftsmanship will be complex).
 * 1) Explain how you will develop a complex composition. What Photoshop or other techniques will you use?
 * 1) 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.
 * 1) 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?
 * 1) Site your sources
