GonzalezCesar_Weston

My inspiration for this assignment came from a talented photographer that goes by Edward Weston. Edward was a photographer located in California in the 1900s and was known for having his subject matter as natural forms that move away from industrial settings to organic shapes. When I first came across Edward Weston, I was surprised by how much I liked his work because I usually enjoy all the photographer's work that we have learned about so far. Still, he was on another level of quality, in my opinion. It was something about how his whole ideology behind photography and how he created his work immediately caught my attention. Now my thought process going into this assignment was to follow the modernism techniques. In order to follow this technique, I had to take a close-up picture of the object, so in my case, a banana. In this photo, I also tried to capture the beauty of the banana by using Weston's techniques. In this case, I chose to have a dark background with a natural source of lighting while taking the banana to be the centerpiece of the project, leaving the picture to have no context, just how Weston would have done.
