Time passes, and we are assigned a bit of new experimenting with photography. While I researched a photographer whom I have learned a lot from. My partner did her own. For this upcoming assignment, we ended up switching photographic styles with each other based on the research each of us did. She had produce photographs similar to my photographer, Viviana Sassen. I had to work on Diane Arbus, a famous street photographer from back in the day. From the research that my partner did on Diane, she produced a style that was very raw. The people that she shot were very different, the freaks and the geeks from the mid 1990’s. All her pictures were shot on film and black and white with minor color tints. I unfortunately did not have access to a film camera so I shot on my digital.
For this project, I called up my friend/model whom I have worked with in the past. We dressed her up in a ridiculous outfit and shot around Brooklyn. It was a very early morning, and my birthday. We ended getting really good shots. Here is an example of Diane’s work alongside one of the pictures that I took. Diane top. Mine is bottom.
