artists worth emulating...

Good afternoon all...
Here are a few artists that I will be trying to emulate for our next assignment... 


numero uno:
Pablo Picasso
 
Picasso used a lot of simple shapes to make very interesting and complex portraits.  
They are very simplistic and are more focused on the 
actual subje
ct than the background or its
 surroundings. Maybe try some cropping and pasting... you never know where this could lead... He should be fun to try and emulate. 

numero dos:
Garry Winogrand
I want to try and capture a person the way Winogrand did.  Even 
though most of his p
hotographs are a crowd of people crossing the street or on the subway, he is still able to make you focus on one individual.  A face in the crowd... a portrait thats not set up perfectly, but rather a spur of the moment, indecisive masterpiece.


numero tres:
Reza

Reza is a photographer that has been featured in National Geographic numerous times for his portraiture work.  I really like the way he incorporates movement into his shots, similar to that of Winogrand, but instead of a crowd there is only the individual.  




as for now... i have to go to class... i'll post a few more later
