Recreation of an Iconic Image!
WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: Iconic Images
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Learning to recreate iconic images is a powerful exercise for photographers to master, as it acts as a "masterclass" in technique, lighting, and composition. By reversing-engineering famous, timeless photos, photographers gain, in essence, a practical understanding of how to evoke emotion, tell compelling stories, and develop an, in essence, "intelligent eye".
HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: You will follow along with instruction and use what we have learned to create amazing photos!
What is considered a famous image?
With billions of image available to view, what makes some of them just photos and others famous?
