CamJustin-Weegee

For my picture, I chose to take the picture according to Weegee's way of photography. Weegee captured pictures mainly in a non-consensual manner to humiliate or degrade people, mostly famous people. The picture has amazing and clear quality but was not modified in any other way besides changing the color to match a 20th century camera. The style I was leaning toward was a style captured in a modernistic view. The photo was captured without industrial or urban objects but has a strong presence of close ups, a subject that is not allegorical, narrative, or historical or any manipulation of the picture besides changing the photo color. I was able to capture most of the Modernist styles excluding the urban and industrial aspects and used it in way to replicate a photo in Weegee's style. Weegee's style of taking photos is mostly clear images that give off dramatic, intimate, and emotional energy in black and white. Most of the time, these photos are taken of famous people and used for media purposes.
