Week 8 Homework

By: Elliot Erwitt

A.   This is a photo of Arnold Schwarzenegger holding a picture of him hitting a front double biceps pose in the same clothes in the same room. He is also flexing while holding the photo.
B.   There is minimal use of light, since there are so few shadows. However it does appear that there is a window to the left due to Arnold's left side being brighter than his right side.
C.    There is no mood to the photo. It appears bleak, but Arnold has a slight grin on his face.
D.    This is a photo of Arnold Schwarzenegger holding a photo of himself.
E.     The photo appears to be a photo about who Arnold is. He is flexing in the smaller photo, and he is the GOAT bodybuilder, so this is definitely a portrait of Arnold himself.



Recreation:

Response:

Creating the recreation was easily the funnest time I've had making a photograph in this class. I consider myself a bodybuilder so not only is the recreation effective at mimicking the original photo, it stands true to me. It took me about an hour to get this photo thought because I had to build a tower of chairs to balance my phone at eye level. Lighting was impossible to get right and I had to zoom in on this photo to get some furniture out of the photo. Besides that I think this photo came out really well.
