To recreate the work/style of Brent Stirton I had to again create a similar composition to three of his original images, one of which I had to capture in black and white focusing on a tree in the foreground of the photo then the other two images I had to under expose the image to gain detailed and colorful skys and then use the flash to light up the subject. I edited the images as well boosting the colors to try recreate the amount of color Stirton uses in his images I also had to edit the black and white image making it more exposed to match the exposer of that of the original image Stirton had captured.
To recreate the work/style of Martin Parr I had to capture images of 9 people, edit each of black and white, lighten them to make them look aged, crop and resize them into the same sized squares, then I had to create a grid layout on photoshop, then place the images in the grids spaces to create the cube effect. The I took photos of the 9 people, grouped in threes and repeated the editing steps to create the second half of the project.
By looking at other photographers work and attempting to recreate their images I have learnt how to capture images differently, how to use composition and camera techniques better, that to get the best images possible you need to take a number of shots and keep changing the composition to get the best results. I've also learnt more about photoshop, how to create a layout of a grid for example, I've also gained a lot of knowledge on documentary photography and now understand it a great deal better.
