Charles Harris was an African-American photographer from Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania. He was known for his photographs of residents and prominent visitors to Pittsburgh, including musicians and baseball players, which often appeared in the Pittsburgh CourierThis photo was created during 1940-1950.This is a portrait of woman wearing belted dress with buttoned front, eyeglasses, and knotted pearl necklace, posed in front of window with venetian blind, in interior with scalloped edge plant pot, and small round sink
I was inspired by the blind shadow collocation of Charles Harris. I decided to use blind window as the background. In the first two pictures, I put the lamp on the right side to create the light affect so the light would be reflect on the face. My roommate is holding her cat so it’s more relaxing. Since the lady in the original photo seems causal and nature. The last photo is the closest to the original one. I asked my friend to put her phone as the light source next to blind window so the shadow will be on the wall.
