Portraits
After watching the documentary on Richard Avedon, we tried our hands at shooting the same style of portraits he invented. Each portrait needed to have a white background, black and white filter, and a square frame. My partner and I photographed each other with different expressions and conveyed messages through our eyes. In the beginning, shooting was difficult because we had trouble letting down our defenses and showing our natural expressions, but as we continued on, we felt more comfortable to show our vulnerability.

You did a good job of following the steps of Richard Avedon. I like how you captured different emotions however a couple of them seem a little staged. You used the black and white and the square frames well. The only thing I think you could work on is not creating a shadow. Good Work!
ReplyDeleteI really like all of your photos and you really captured Richard Avedon's style. I love how the photos conveyed real emotion Nice work!
ReplyDeleteI like these pictures a lot! They all show great emotion! Really good job!
ReplyDeleteThe last one turned out great. I really like the deep black and white that you used i think that added a lot to the photos. The last one i think is the closest to avedons work. good job
ReplyDeleteYour photos turned out very well in particular I like your fourth photo. Your photos bear a striking resemblance to the style of Richard Avedon
ReplyDeleteJessie,
ReplyDeleteyou did a great job at capturing your models emotions. Each image has its own uniqueness and different emotion. One suggestion that i have is for you to not use flash for these photos. The shadows hinder the photos from replicating Avedon's style. Overall, good job!
