Mood Boards

 This mood board consists of the artists who I am basing my work upon. Seen above is the work of Storm Thorgerson, Duane Michaels, Gregory Crewdson, Richie Valezquez, Tyler Spangler and Sister Corita Kent. I have attempted recreations of all six of these artists and am pleased with most of the recreations and will be making further attempts once I have my tablet. This may allow me to produce more work of a higher quality and be able to replicate their styles better.

 Seen above is a mood board consisting of my own work inspired by the aforementioned six artists. Some have only one piece whereas others have several pieces. I am pleased with how most of these turned out and am excited to take these ideas further, namely the environmental photography stuff. The Thorgerson, Michaels and Crewdson recreations could be a lot better if I spent more time on them. 

 Once I have my new tablet, which—once re-ordered on the 29th of this month due to the original order being cancelled—should arrive around the 31st of this month or the 1st of November, I will be able to set it up, bring it into college and work further on these pieces with more attention to detail, more time to make further adjustments and tweaks and more precision especially regarding the graphic design elements, this being the Valezquez, Spangler and Kent recreations.

 The Kent recreations are from my graphics course and were not created specifically for photography, although I plan to print those pieces out—or to create them entirely traditionally—and photograph myself alongside them, much like how many of Kent's photos include her stood next to her own work.
