Emulating a Professional Photographer

Part 1

I think this was my most successful image because it takes not only inspiration from the professional photographer's subject but his lighting style and overal composition of the photo. I aimed to match his dark background and side lighting to create an image close to his style.

The most challenging aspect of this challenge was analysing what methods the photographer was using to get his final affect. For example getting the quality of image he had on the bubble wrap was very difficult but he managaged carefully placed lighting.

In the future I will create stronger images by looking at the work of other photographers and being inspired by their lighting, compositon, and subject choices.

Comment on Riley's Blog Post

Hi Riley! I think you picked a great photo to represent your work on this assignment. The photo chosen manages to feel like a picture also taken by Nigel Shafran without being an exact copy of his subject, The style and lighting matches the emulated photo well and the shadow captured behind your subject brings attention to the darkness.
