Amir Farokhpour - Task #1

I really enjoy Struth's family portraits so i decided to do a portrait for this task. In most of his family portrait shots, the people posing have a unique expression, i could barely find any shots with people smiling. Most of the models have a strong, deep facial expressions which i tried to achieve when doing this task. I will probably redo this task, I originally had a different idea but couldn't make it happen before the due date.

Eric Watters Task 1

Dundonald St. Toronto

After much analysis of Thomas Struth's work, I decided to go in the direction of his beautiful architecture photos. The detail in his photos of city buildings inspired me to take photos of everyday buildings I would normally just walk by. After taking photos of commercial buildings, I found that this photo of the 3 houses was the most interesting.
Some issues were with the rain blob on my lens that I didn't notice until the editing process and my indecisiveness on if I like the tree or not.

A quote by Thomas Struth that I found really interesting because it also relates to me: "Oh yeah, I need to be in a picture mood. The objects I'm shooting have to attract me - they have to invite me to take more photos of them. If I'm not feeling it, I just stop. But to be honest, I'm also someone who likes to do nothing."
