My final project for Photo II is emulating another photographer's work. I chose Richard Avedon, because I love his truthful, unapologetic style. I read a bunch of different sites' biographies of him, and they all mentioned a famous photo he took of Audrey Hepburn, but I never found it.
So I modeled this photo off of what I imagine the photo looks like. It is described as blowing out all of Audrey's face except her striking features; her eyes, her eyebrows, and her mouth, the things that made her face famous. I suspect Audrey's photo was in black and white, but she had dark hair so the contrast was flattering. Mandy has blonde hair, so I left the color partly in, to flatter her striking blue eyes.
Hope you enjoy it, this is the longest description I have ever written, but it should be -- this is my final!
Edit: May 27, cleaned up the remnants of the background that I couldn't see on my laptop.
I have never seen the original photo myself, but I think this one pays a lovely tribute regardless. All the light in this is just beautiful. Leaving the color in for this model is a good choice...I don't believe there would have been enough contrast otherwise. Lovely photo all around!
What a gorgeous photo! Even before reading the description, I thought 'hm, that looks like that photo of Audrey Hepburn.' You really did a great job in paying homage to that photo
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.

We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
