Clasics Examples

August Sanders

The background is kept to a minimum, just to give enough information but does not overpower the actual portrait and the person

Bruce Davidson

This is a totally other genre, where the people take a smaller part in the picture

Assignement #1 - Emulation Terry Richardson - the SFW Results

Assignement #1 - Emulation Recherche Terry Richardson

Terry Richardson is one of a kind. His approach is rather unique, not always on good taste, but never boring. He can manage to make striking images using ofter only a point and shoot and flash directly on camera.

Here are some of the images I may attempt to emulate

Photoshop Workshop

Avedon and Ansel

Richard Avedon (May 15, 1923 – October 1, 2004) and Ansel Easton Adams (February 20, 1902 – April 22, 1984) two renowned photographers form two different fields of photography, yet using the same subject; America



Richard Avedon, known for his portraits of celebrity

And mostly for his book, the american west

Ansel Adams took pictures all over the world

but he is  famous for his striking photos of the american west

These two photographers with a different subject,show the world that surrounds them, emulating their vision of their country through people and landscapes

What are the differences between Steichan and Arbus?

Edward J. Steichen (MEdward J. Steichen (March 27, 1879 – March 25, 1973) and Diane Arbus (diːˈæn ˈɑrbəs^[2], March 14, 1923 – July 26, 1971^[3]), two photographers of the early 20th century with wildly different styles and purpose.

Diane Arbus
She liked to photograph the marginal



not always in their most flattering attire


Representing the freaks, the deviants






























Edward J. Steichen was a pioneer in the modern fashion photography

Photographed celebrities and actors 

With elaborate composition and lighting

The differences are striking, obviously. One shows people in their best light (literally) while the other one shines light on a different reality.  It's like comparing Max Abadian and Terri Richardson.
