With this assignment, I had chosen to replicate the works of Julia Margaret Cameron, an 1815-1879 photographer who had taken pictures mostly of women from what I can perceive. I liked the idea that Cameron had the intent to only photograph her friends and family in her photography activities rather than taking to public and photographing strangers in turn for money. This was one way in which I replicated her work, by choosing one of my close friends and offering to take her picture. With this pose, it is stated that Cameron would often photograph with the intent to capture qualities of innocence and virtue. In this case, I had chosen to take a candid photograph of my friend who was admiring lights, and rather than in a studio-like setting, I had chosen to go out into public to enjoy the majority of the natural world, and with this, I had told my friend to just act joyful as I would photograph her. This is turn created for a really nice photograph, capturing the innocence in which was just admiring the natural lights and beauty of the mall on a cold night. With a twist, this photo was based off if her famous image of then celebrity Dame Alice Ellen Terry, where she was photographed at a wall with no expression on her face but at the same time not looking at the camera. I had noticed that the background was mostly blurred out and somehow focused purely on the portrait figure of the person. Through this, I blurred part of the background out so that the natural image of the person would come out more thoroughly, and imitated the pose with the position of the hands. I had toned down the highlights of the picture to show the lines and natural structure of the person since silvertonish filter i had put on really lightened the natural features. The reasoning for the silver toning was to create a more realistic picture within the era of the 1850s, showing the black and white colors and had turned down shadows and contrasts to give the picture more of a blocky, static, and pixelating feel, which would in turn replicate the photo more from the 1800’s.
