Portfolio

These are the photos that I think followed my visual recipe the best and best represent my replication of John French's photos. The elements that I think made these my best images were the fact that they all were in black and white which made my photos very cohesive. Another element that helped prove these photos to be my best was the fact that I had my models use props as well as have them make angles with their arms to help create negative space against the edge of the frame. 

Fall Series #4

In this draft, I focused on brightening up the background and seeing how crisp I could make the black portions of the photos. My goals this week were to use different props and to continue to add angles using model's arms against the edge of the frame to create negative space.

Fall Series Draft #3

This week I continued to study John French's photos and continue to capture images of models with different props and different styles of clothing. My main goal this week was to have my models us their arms to create angles against the edge of the frame to create negative space.

Fall Series 2

My visual recipe was consisted of needing a model, then dressing them in different outfits,  and then finding a background which was a blank wall. All my photos are in black and white to really capture the essence of John French. John French's models used props such as bags, jewelry, and cigarettes. I used bags as props as well as jewelry. My genre was fashion through portraits. The mood throughout my pictures was fun and happy which made my models more comfortable. One of my biggest goals throughout this process was to make sure the models were having fun with this as well as making sure my photos were posed which would replicate what John French did with his models.
