(Walker Evans/ American) – 1937
For this assignment I actually used a photo of Walker Evans himself. Searching through his work I found many great portraits he took. But along with that was many photos of himself, this specific photo along with another stuck out to me. Comparing the two photos you can see they are not exactly the same. Body positioning, facial expressions, and hairstyle are different. I had my subject have a smirk mostly showing content rather than a sense of worry or anxiousness like the photo of Evans. The positing of the hand on the face is moved further back as well Lighting is different as well due to the fact the subjects cause a shadow to land on his face. The overall look is the same, but I wanted to show that similar images can have two very different feelings.
