As a recent assignment in my latest photography class I had to choose my favorite “historical photographer”. After Googling and reading books from the library for a few days, I chose Elliot Erwitt. If you aren’t familiar with his work I encourage you to take a look at his website (click here) To my surprise I choose someone who almost always shoots black & white when I love color so much.
There’s 2 major reasons I picked his photography – I have more but let’s be honest, you don’t want to spend all day reading my blog.
•1st is his sense of humor (mostly due to perspective) – He has an entire collection of ironic/funny photos titled “phototoons”.
• 2nd he loves dogs and does great photos of them.
Part of my assignment was after choosing this photographer is to take a photograph that emulates what you like about that photographer’s work. Elliot Erwitt has several photos oh dogs from the prospective of the ground featuring the dog in full frame and a portion of the owner’s legs. I highly encourage you to do a google image search of “Elliot erwitt dogs” to see what I’m talking about.
Anywho- Here’s some shots from my attempt to re-create that myself.

Fun photos! Any picture with a dog in it gets my vote :)
ReplyDeleteThose are cute! I checked out his phototoons, too. Hilarious! I wonder how many of those are staged...
ReplyDeleteNo offense against your husband but his hairy legs fit right in with your 2 totally cute dogs (hahahaha).
ReplyDeleteSeriously though - amazing photos - you are very talented!
I'm stopping by from Blogging buddies.
