The photographer I chose for this assignment was Berenice Abbott. I specially looked at her work documentation work of New York in 1935. The image I chose was Daily News Building, November 21, 1935.
My photo imitation:
While creating this image I tried to follow the subject matter that Berenice photographed. She photographed what changed in New York City and I saw this building as something that was just under construction last semester. I know much did not change, but I see this building as one of the main buildings here on campus. I chose Berenice because I typically go after people who take portraits and I wanted to try my hand at photographing architecture, when I saw her image I was immediately drawn to it. Old main immediately popped into my head because I walked past it everyday last semester and I always wondered exactly what was going on up there. I tried photographing some other buildings that have changed over the years, but this one felt the strongest to me and I felt like it had the strongest connection to Berenice’s work.
