In the Style of...

In the Style of Diane Arbus.
I wanted to turn this photo into black and white to get the full Arbus effect. I also loved my friend Patty's daughter Jes' expression. It so perfectly captures that awkwardness that I feel comes through in some of Arbus' photos that involve children.

In the Style of Margaret Bourke-White
Bourke-White went to the top of the Chrysler building, I managed to make it up to the top of one of the dorms on campus.

In the Style of Nan Goldin
Nan Goldin was all about capturing her life, her moments, and her experiences. For me, these two make up a major portion of my life. I love their expressions and the snapshot quality of this photo.

In the Style of Paul Strand
I kept thinking about Paul Strand's shadows and shapes, and immediately the steps to my apartment in the late afternoon came up. I feel that the overlapping shapes and shadows recall Strand in an interesting way.
