Eggleston

Monday, April 8, 2013

Here are a few of the photos from my latest photography assignment. We had to pick a photographer from a list, and re-create three of his photos. I chose William Eggleston. I loved his use of color in photos, and how he believed in capturing the beauty in the mundane things of the world. I felt that I related to him in this way, so naturally I chose him. The first image will be my own followed by the image it was inspired by.

To be perfectly honest, these were not my favorite photos I have ever taken. The girls that I had help me were absolutely STUNNING! The sun was just not my friend this day. Oh well, you can't love them all! Here are a few others that I edited just for fun. 
Also, for more of Eggleston's amazing work check out his Artsy page! This page is a fantastic collection of Eggleston's photography, and it also has information on his upcoming shows and articles he has been featured in!  It is really amazing, so definitely check it out!
