I chose to utilize the stylistic qualities of Imogen Cunningham. Specifically, the use of natural light, selection of subject, and simple background is something I really enjoy and is also practical for this assignment. Her style of straight photography was appealing to me because of the raw nature of her images. The naturally seductive symmetry of the Echeveria is captured, along with the focus being sharp enough to detail the occasional hairs of the local cats, and the ash from the recent fires in the environment surrounding the plant. I used my Apple iPhone Pro Max 11 with a 2.0 zoom and Apple’s Silvertone filter. I wanted to be able to exhibit the plant as I saw it but bring it to the audience as it might have been seen in the early 20th century. While Imogen’s photos of plants seem to be primarily studio work, my photo of the succulent in situ is meant to be a bit of a nod to Eugene Atget.
