for my masculinity and femininity project I based my project based off of Claude Cahun and Cindy Sherman my creating or recreating some of the photos they have made by using techniques they have used in the past through out my work.

comparison

in my opinion, I believe that I have captured the basis of what I wanted to achieve by when I created the images. however I wanted to put a little twist on one of the photos for the first Cindy Sherman image bellow I had it as a coloured image with a light pink lighting to still give it a girly feel even though I had a male model. And then for the rest of the images I wanted to recreate the artist images to the best of my capability. I was mostly inspired by the vintage photos of Cindy Sherman and Claude Cahun and therefore wanted to make my photos look vintage by using photoshop and adobe light.

studio portraits

for the studio portraits we had to come up with outcomes that used the different lighting techniques such as Rembrandt, butterfly and chiaroscuro. and also have images inspired by artists such as Henry Mullins.

inconclusion I think I came up with photos that fit the criteria that was given as I was able to have a chiaroscuro, Rembrandt and butterfly lighting effects while also trying to fit the style of the artists Henry Mullins.

however, if I had to go back and do it again I think I would try have more photos than I took to experiment with than what I had to help create additional images and diamond cameos as I didn’t get to create as much as I would have liked. and to also experiment with different multi-exposures.
