Chosen Photograph:
Above shows my chosen response to edit and enhance in response to my chosen advert. I have chosen this photograph as I feel my model is placed in one of the best positions and it is also one of my clearer images. As well as being clear I feel even though this photograph is slightly bright it gives me room to adjust this and experiment with it.
My aims for editing this photograph is to generate a response that clearly shows a resemblance and a link towards the original photograph and to also show some suggested inspiration towards Cindy Sherman.
Editing Process:
To being with I started by adjusting the brightness and the contrast of the photograph, the photograph I was recreating had quite dark tones and wasn’t too bright so I was trying to recreate and generate this.
Next, still keeping in mind the style of the original photograph I was recreating I decided to add ‘noise’ to the photograph to create a more believable recreation to create an almost blurred image without loosing any sharpness on the features.
Finally I went back in with the brightness and the contrast editing for the final touches to create it more similar to the original I was recreating.
Final Outcome:
This shows my final edited outcome, overall I feel happy with the way the photograph turned out in resemblance to the original. I feel I have created a successful photograph with what my aims were and that I have personally met them.
Lillie : the photo-shoot are coming on really well, very controlled and mature.
Research (concept vs context) : remember to include a detailed blog post tracking the way that women’s roles have been perceived over time.
1 : The Male Gaze and the history of women in art ( eg : Manet’s Olympia vs Roy Lichenstein’s Masterpiece)
2 : Feminism and equality (Cindy Sherman, Guerilla Girls etc)
3 : branding, marketing and propaganda (East vs West is interesting!)
4 : how various artist (male and female) have challenged the notion of the patriacarchal society
