I was attracted to the unique style of Aaron Sisikind. I decided to imitate by the pattern, form and textures. Sometimes it takes time for myself to know what the picture is. I keep all the pictures in black and white since the colors would distract the attention from the objects itself. The other reason is also because the original works are in black and white.For the first one, the original picture was a peeling wall. There is not a lot of walls near the place I live. However, I saw this tree’s texture is similar to the peeling wall. The tree is also formed with a lot of small parts.The second picture was some of the paper which were burned on a wall. In the middle of the picture, there is a blank part.There were some burning wood in the backyard of my house.The white part of the wood is the texture left after burning. I took several pictures from different perspective. The fourth picture is a small pond with some plants and the water went through in the middle. The day I went out it was a raining day. There are some pipes besides the house. When the pipe drop water to the soil, it will form a small pond. I capture the moment when the water drop a few into the soil. The following picture is some paper falling off the wall. For making the wood look bigger so I put my camera closer to the object itself. The fourth picture is some of the rocks were binding by ropes. I found there is a big rock with some of the grass on it. It looks similar but less heavier. The grass is closer to a decoration on it. I was into the extraordinary textures whether it’s real or not. I decided to discover more of the textures from the nature. The two pictures are the trees branches and the cover for a water pump. For the editing part, most Aaron’s works focuse on the details of the objects. I made some changes to the photos to look more clear. Also, in the process of editing, I did not choose to blur any parts of the photo.In the original photos, they are usually in darker version of black and white. Therefore, I also make the black part darker so it would separate the colors clearly.
