Notes on proposal

-make sure that there are houses in the picture

-have a good height on the shoot so you get the whole view

Emulation Project proposal

For the proposal, I choose to emulate Ansel Adams and his way of taking pictures of the outdoors/nature pictures. I really like how he does not change anything he using what nature gives him and takes that picture. I like how he did them in black and white, it sorta feels like when he took the picture everything else in the world stopped just for this one picture. If these pictures were in color I think you would a feel the heat or chill of them, depending what kind of picture you were looking at. Ansel Adams did photos of these big outdoors pictures where you can see everything below. Like in Grand Canyon he took it from a height so you can look over and see the view of where he was. In most of his photos he makes you feel in the photo and see what he is seeing. Where I live you have some spectaclur views from some views. You can see the horzion and the houses and fields of the people around the area. Since Adams does nature photos I was thinking that I would take pictures of scenery like him. His scenery is of famous landmarks, mine will be of landmarks in my area.I will photograph certain views from the area that I live in because each one of Adams picture had a beauty in it and so will mine. There are some views that i really like where I live and I think i will photograph those views. Adams style is unqiue because its of views that are more or less famous. People know where they are and I like that, but when I try to emulate his kind of style I want it to be somewhere that not many people know where it is. I am going to need to go to a high height so the viewer can see everything. I always have to make sure that there are houses of some sort in the photo.

Ansel Adams did film photos and they were in black and white. Since he does pictures of nature and the outdoors his lighting his whatever light is outside at that time. He didn't use props because he was using the nature that was already there. I do not see any any photoshop edits in his pictures. Well since he was outdoors you can not have assistants that set up the Grand Canyon so he would have worked alone. Adams liked doing his photos outside and using nature which I really like.

2. Richard Avedon

Richard Avedon did digital photos and he started taking pictures for fashion Harper's Bazaar, then later in his life he started his own studio which he provided pictures for Vogue and life. He changed the way that the models modeled he made them show emotion, were in other photographers do not. Since he worked in a studio he did use artificial lights and he did have assistants to help him along with models. His fashion picture have lots of emotion to them and you can feel that emotion unlike other photographers that do not have the models show emotion.

3. Hiroshi Sugimoto

Hiroshi didn't seem to have one style that he liked and always did it, he varied his styles in all his pictures. They look like they were set up so working in a studio or something, and since working a studio you would need some artificial lighting. Some of his photos seem photoshopped but not all of them. Because some pictures did not always have the same tone of color in them or that something looked darker then it should. In most of his pictures he seemed that it was something that he could do on is own.
