Series Draft 1






     In this week's assignment, I was tasked with trying to emulate Josef Sudek, the photographer I researched. Sudek believed that photographers should not try and manipulate the photograph after taking it, but instead getting just the right lighting and spacing, even if it takes several attempts, so all of these shots are unedited. I noticed that most of my favorite photographs of his were in a sepia tone, so I decided to go with that style as well. Many of his characteristics that I wanted to try and emulate were his simple household objects in photographs, his usage of water,  and the landscape/city street shots. I also tried to emulate the nostalgic/melancholic mood that Sudek had in most of his photos. The landscape shots were hard to emulate in the city, so I decided to use the side of the living wall as an attempt to recreate his work.
