NANCY HONEY:

MY IMAGES:

This is challenging as you need three different subjects and locations to pull together one image which have got to still have a common theme throughout all three images. For example i used the theme green, mirrors and the top. I also tried to include a sense of femininity by adding the ballet shoes. The sunlight gleaming onto the girl whilst she’s wearing the top – links with the sunlight also reflecting onto the top (on its own). I like how the wind is blowing the ribbons on the ballet shoes as it is pointing as the same direction as the sun coming through the shutters. I strategically placed the shoes on a mirror table next to the grass this correlates with the theme green and juxtaposes with the mirror in the other picture. When editing these images i used lightroom and put a green tint on each image to saturate it slightly and bring out the green colours.

Although this can be quite time consuming and has to be carefully planned out, I still aim to develop more images in this style (three to make one) as its different to what I’ve experimented with before and it fits with the theme observe, seek and challenge.

These photos were taken across Paris, but mostly in the centre. I photographed tourist areas, such as the Pantheon and the Eiffel Tower, and the Sacre-Couer, as well as various metro stations.

These images were taken mostly in central Manhattan, with some in Central Park, and some taken from the Hudson River. I am happy with a lot of these images and I think the lighting managed to work really well for me, considering the time of year.

I don’t have many photos from London, and a lot of them were taken with the intention of using them for typologies so they do seem similar in places for this reason.

I do have other images of London but unfortunately these are all taken on a phone camera and for this reason I don’t think I will use them. Because there aren’t many images from London, I am less likely to include them in the final product, but hopefully I can make them work.

These photos were taken in the centre of Amsterdam, the train station, along the river, and on the river itself. I like a lot of them and I think that they show a lot of the typical essence of the city.

I took these images in the centre of Athens as well as tourist attractions and heritage sights such as the Acropolis, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, and the Roman Forum of Athens (Roman Agora) I think that a lot of these are quite strong and I am happy with how they turned out.

These specific five images that i picked out from Sherman’s work are the ones i have re created as shown above. Overall i would say i have successfully attempted to play with Cindy Sherman’s style after going by a specific plan and focusing on the mis en scene and clothing. The only major difference would be that Sherman’s images have a more vintage black and white tint on them.

SELECTING MY BEST IMAGES:

I carefully went through and edited any images i liked into black and white (to match Cindy Sherman’s theme) and rated them with stars.

For this first photoshoot I will be creating a set of images in response to Cindy Sherman, I will attempt to re create them as much as I can.

HOW?

I will use specific props and clothing items such as suitcases, handbags and long flowy dresses to match the aesthetic that the woman in Cindy’s pictures create.

WHEN?

As these pictures will be in black and white it doesn’t limit me as to what time of day i should take the pictures however a few will be taken outside therefore i will be taking those specific images in daylight. I do plan on taking all the pictures in the day anyway.

WHO?

Using my friend which i will provide with outlifts, probs and makeup.

I WILL RE CREATE THIS IMAGES:
