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.

  3. Nice photos. I like how you incorporated a naturalistic feel to your set. My particular favorite are your photos of the rain drops. I really like how you got up close and shot from different angles to capture, in detail, the small raindrop. It adds a lot of depth and detail to your photos.

  4. These photos definitely give off a nostalgic feel to them. I like the contrast between the light and dark in each shot, and its impressive that you got this without editing. I think the last two photos are the most interesting because of their texture.

  5. Nice Series. I really liked the consistency of the tint you used on all of your photo's i think that you used very nice angles and gave great perspective. the photo of the branches on the cement is a little blurry so i would try to take it from a different angle and with less blur.

  6. i think that overall thesse photos are great kyle. i enjoy the color that you used in every picture. i especially enjoy the picture of the raindrops on the table because it is very in focus unlike the picture of the sticks which is not quite in focus.
