The artist that I chose to emulate was Bret Monroy. He is a digital artist who is world renowned for his skills in photoshop and illustrator. Bret has written several book like “The Photoshop WOW Book” and “The Official Adobe Photoshop Handbook” and has many web based tutorials. He started his career in digital art in 1984 with a Macintosh 128 and he thought of the computer an artistic medium. He is probably considered one of the pioneers of the digital art form. He uses his Photoshop skills that he has learned over the years to give his photos the things that he thinks the picture lacks. Such as in his photo “close-up 3” where he took a photo of some iron bars then added in the rust and decay on it. Photoshop has helped define his artwork by being able to give it the detail and color that he is known for.
There are several reasons that I have chosen to emulate him. He shoots a lot of city scape photos that contain a large amount of color and detail, which is something that greatly interests me since my major is architecture. It seems that he shoots HDR photos frequently, which would explain how he gets the detail so crisp and the colors so vivid. That is what I did with my photo to try to get the same detail and color as him. I like his use of lines and symmetry like in the photo “old chair” which makes your eye move throughout the whole photo. It also has such vivid color that it makes the photo stand out and not just another picture of a chair. I tried to recreate his use of lines and symmetry with the lines of the buildings and in the road. I then used Photoshop to make the colors really pop in my photo.
Bret Monroy is truly an amazing artist and photographer and I am happy that I was able to try to recreate one of his photos.
