EMMA KAPPEL – Project 2

The artist I chose to imitate was Imogen Cunningham, a female artist who specialized in abstracting things like the body and nature. Her work has always inspired me, especially in the way female photographers portray other women in nude photos compared to male photographers.

My Imitation

Best Attempt
Attempt 2
Attempt 3

Imogen Cunningham inspired me to start exploring the nude form and ways to abstract it starting my Junior year of high school, which later became the base of my senior project. She handled all of her photos with such delicacy, and all of her images were so beautiful that I often turn to her work in both digital and manual work. For my best attempted photo, I wanted to challenge myself in recreating her image, because something about abstracting two different bodies in the same way seemed interesting.
