Out of Henri Cartier Bresson, Immogen Cunningham, and Alfred Stieglitz we were to choose one to describe. I choose Alfred Stieglitz with this photograph of a mother and her two small children and a baby. The qualities that drew me to this photograph was not just the black and white but realness of this because nowadays everyone photographs preset places and people who look their best. For a digital artist, this is a great example to go off of for the point of photography is capturing raw truth for you can always make up a false perspective.

 Dan Winters

Research

I am not sure what to write here but I will try. Dan Winters wasn't my first choice for I wanted to photograph a female and I couldn't find a willing female to be my subject I asked my teacher (Prof. Maloney) if she would she said yes but said only if I couldn't find anyone else and if they fall through on me. Luckily I found a willing subject but I had to change my photographer to imitate. I went back through each photographer listed and finally found one that would look great with my subject. Dan Winters's photograph of this shirtless man with tattoos. It's simple and has a plain background I know the studio has a similar gray sheet to hang up.  The color palette is a little weird I know they edited this with either Lightroom or Photoshop to get that grayish vibe/texture. The high key I think in this photo is the shirtless part along with the shadow and bandana. The low key I would have to say is the tattoos. I will need to have a bandana and luckily I had a black and white one in my backpack. I would like it if my subject would get these tattoos or let me draw them on. I don't have a silver cross so I might have to leave it out. Post-production work on Dan Winters's photograph would have to be the color pallet texture. I will need my model to have a similar skin tone and some amount of muscles, tattoos would be nice but I can photoshop them in, to the best ability.
