So here be my first photographic assignment for Prof. Jason…. Arghhh!   Oops, I think I missed National Speak Like A Pirate Day. Oh well.

The idea of the assignment was to choose a “famous” Photographer (okay, as an aside, “famous” caused a few problems as the word and idea can be so subjective), then pick one of their photographs to try an emulate as best as we could. The second part of the assignment was to create an original photo which we thought was a direct opposite from the famous one we had copied. Then there was a written element… which I haven’t gotten to yet. *shame, shame, Carolyn!*

This is the photographer I chose. Zhang Jingna, or better known around the net as, Zemotion! www.zhangjingna.com I’ve been a huge fan for awhile now! Ever since I stumbled across her at DA a couple years ago. This is her original, that I tried to copy. http://zemotion.deviantart.com/art/Obsession-86490152

Okay, so I probably didn’t do it nearly enough justice, but here’s my copy.

And then, here’s my opposite. Don’t know exactly what I’m going to say yet, but I had a blast making it! Almost no photoshopping at all on it! Just a wee bit of dodging.

Guess we’ll see what the Prof makes of them. Cross things for me!
