Emulation

Photo taken by Harry Callahan.

Harry Callahan was a very versatile photographer. I chose this photo because he took portraits of people, and would crop most of their bodies out, leaving just the head and sometimes the neck to be seen. This unique style of cropping is interesting to me.

Callahan ventured all types of photography, abstraction being one of them. I chose this photo because of how he chose to crop the subject at the bottom. Also, the organic subject against a harsh black background is interesting. With the intense light on the subject, it leaves little gray areas, making the photo have a more graphic feel to it.

Harry Callahan experimented with multiple exposures. This photograph is a multiple exposure of a tree. I chose this particular photo because it reminds me of an abstract painting.

Callahan spent a lot of time photographing Eleanor, his wife. I picked this photo because there's something mysterious about it. the only thing lit up enough to see is her backside. This photo is interesting to me because its very moody. I get the impression that Eleanor is struggling with something deep and emotional within herself.

This photo is of Eleanor, Callahan's wife. I chose this photo because it has a more photo-journalistic feel to it. Callahan always has a strong light source in his photographs. What attracts me to this photo, is that her upper half of her body is darker and fades into the background, while her legs are illuminated from the window.

This picture is of two people conversing with each other, and it makes it a decisive moment, because the photographer managed to capture the natural emotions of the people as it was happening.

I picked this photograph because I love how everyone around the two people kissing are not in focus, and slightly blurred.

I selected this photo because there is so much movement going on. I love the movement of the water in mid-air, and the positioning of the polar bear's head.

I chose this photograph because I like the slight blur in it. It represents a decisive moment because her hair is in motion, and if this would have been taken at any other moment in time, the picture would be completely different.
