Emulating a Professional Photographer by Ritu Patel

Writer's picture: Ritu PatelRitu Patel

Most successful image and Why?

The portrait of my mom is my most successful image. I consider this one of my favorites because I think I use Steve McCurry's portrait style very closely. I use background control to emphasize my mom in these beautiful Indian tradtional clothes. Steve McCurry also uses background control to emphasize the man in the red turban.

Most challenging aspect

I actually really enjoyed this challenge since I could try and recreate a famous photographers style. I think the hardest part of this challenge was to find moments to capture. I just didn't want to capture random pictures but wanted to make sure they looked apealing to me and the viewer.

In the Future

In the future I plan on incorporating all the lessons I have learned in this class about compostion, lighting, and more. I plan on trying to go out and explore to capture more rare moments in life. I also plan on learning out to make my black and whites images more appealing.

Comment on Amber's post:

Hi Amber,

You did an wonderful job on this assignment. So much so that when I went to your page, I didn't know which images were yours vs the famous photographer. This tells me that you mastered great skills in photography. I really like how all the images are in black and white. I personally think it very hard to captures pictures in black and white but I think you did a great job here. My favorite of all of them is the middle one. This image makes me feel so calm and at peace just like the ocean water. I cant see the color but I can imagine the white/blue water of the ocean. This is a beautiful scene you captured here.
