Your choice of the following Photographer to research and replicate: Photographer Research Project
You will research the work and life of a photographer. You can choose from the following list or pick a significant photographer of your choice.
After your research, you will need to create a series of 10 images that replicate the photographer's style as well as write an essay that answers the following questions:
- What is the photographer’s real name and year he or she was born? Is he/she still alive?
- What is their style of photography (ex: photojournalism, editorial, documentary, advertising, portraits, magazine, sports, war)?
- Are there any special photography techniques this photographer uses in his/her work? (Think about composition, depth of field, history…)
- Who does the photographer work for?
- What type of cameras and lens does this photographer work with, and why?
- What type of lighting does this photographer primarily use and why?
