For this assignment I️ chose Alexander Rodchenko as a source of inspiration. He studied art in Moscow and was considered to be one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. This image is called Girl with Leica and was taken in 1936. I️ enjoy Rodchenko’s use of bizarre angles and no straight horizon lines. This picture in particular stuck out to me because of the use of shadows and its almost 90 degree angle. This is the photograph I️ created in response to the historical image. I️ tried to find the intense shadows and angles to create a similar effect. The shadows in my image are not as dramatic or moody but I️ still feel as though I️ got the general effect that Rodchenko goes for. Even though my shadows are not as intense, I️ feel the texture from the bricks and the lines in the windows make up for it.
