January Photography Competition: Copies of the Masters

Giving it a go....another Cartier-B i'm afraid.

1)Mexico, 1934 (after HCB)

Bloody hard to recreate- lighting, as always, key, location difficult, body position uncomfortable, going commando in those jeans painful.

Oh yah there's a larger version on my flickr profile without Henri's amatuerism getting in the way :p

only joking i could never outdo his greatness. Besides...i don't even look Mexican- i have an Englishmans tan i.e- none at all :cool:
 
Okay:

Entry 1 (after Andy Warhol's Mona Lisa silk screen).

This was done more as an experiment and to get me started using various effects and techniques in photoshop, I'm not going to pretend it's much cop or startlingly original but there you go :p

Not even my photograph originally, of course, but then the Mona Lisa wasn't painted by Andy Warhol in the first place either!

I'm spending my time looking at photographs by the Masters, not something I'd ever done before. I think this is a great theme, cos it really making me think differently about photography - I notice most of the Masters use black and white, whereas we mostly use colour in these competitions. Anyhow, I hope to submit something, at the last minute, as usual.
 
Open Question


Most people seem to be doing replica-ish shots, which is all good, but i was thinking of entering in the style of shots. Is that Ok, or is it best to stay within the replica-ish framework?

Thanks! :)

To answer your question, I personally did replica shots cos i feel it's the easiest option...interpretation of existing photography and/or the stylistic application is a bit harder and I think it should be considered. That's just my opinion... best to check with jeff leigh as it is his theme.

I think it's a lot more interesting to go for style rather than straight replica. So far what I've entered was really about going for a laugh rather than genuinely try to learn by duplicating approach.
