Photo Emulation
I emulated a photograph taken by artist Alex Prager. She is a contemporary, self taught photographer who lives in Los Angelos taking movie stills. She mostly photographs women dressed in 50s housewife clothes, or in this case 50s children's clothes. She generally photographs them in a way that it reflects the contrast between the past and the present. I chose her because her photos were really colorful and interesting. This photo caught my eye because it evoked questions such as What is the girl looking at? and Is she scared, or just curious? I recreated this picture by putting my friend in a similar outfit, having her hold a Big Gulp from 711 and stand in front of a beige wall. The light in the photo is coming from the same place, so the shadows on each picture are similar . My photo evokes the same mood as Alex Prager's in that it makes the viewer wonder, what is she starring at?
