I Covered Laurie Simmons for my artist emulation and what she portrayed in her art was giving life like features to inatimate objects.
My Second Picture is titled "Runaway Bottle" and for this one i added legs to make it seem as if the bottle was running away from something. I made it a little more realistic by using the burn tool to burn a shadow behind him. I believe this one is like Lauries work because she likes giving human characteristics to inatimate objects.
My First picture is titled "Cologne Model" and i thought that the curves just worked to make it kind of have a life like feature. I thought this kind of just works because its not human but makes you think of a person as some of lauries work did.
The Third Picture which is by far my favorite picture is called "Banana Man" Which is a picture of a computer lab with a banana photoshopped into the picture and added arms and legs as if the banana was human with no face.
-What vision or ideas did the photographer want to convey in their photographs?
--Laurie always liked to place stuff in her own way like taking pictures of doll houses and adding different thing that striked her imagination like unique people etc.. She was big into
-What photographic techniques did your photographer use when photographing, developing, and/or presentation?
--She incorporated alot of human charcteristics into her work sometimes they were real people some times they were dolls but most of the time she would give those human characteristics to inatimate objects like putting legs on the end of a gun so it looks like the gun could walk. She also used paper dolls, finger puppets, ventriloqust dummies, and costumed dancers. She trys to portray a eerie dreamlike quality in her work.
-Who or what motivated your photographer to be interested in photography?
-- The media and how they called he a feminist from her subjects of ubjectifying people expecially woman. Media Construction on gender views also pushed her views in photography. Mining child hood memories always effected her work.

The first one came out very good. i think you got the idea right; they would've looked even better if the background lighting was a little clearer/brighter.
I like the idea's of your pictures, they just could have been put together better. Your "runaway bottle" looks too fake and what Laurie did made her pictures look more real and just added legs for the more person feel.
The ideas are simmilar to laurie Simmons, however her settings/ background were simple and clean and your eye could focus on the subject and not be distracted by the background. Also her lighting was very dramatic in contrast with your florecent lighting. The last one I think turned out the best, even though you could have maybe played with preportions more between the table and the little people.
Well V.C., the first one is prime. The shadow effect thing makes it look like it is actually part of the picture. I know Mrs. Mooney said you did it wrong but it is very very goooooood. Also it is beautiful.... like YOU!
I think that the banna man it is vary intersting i like the scene for it cause it really shows the size and how it is like a mini world and the same with the top image it shows that well and that one is a little more intersting becuse it is aculy running and the light shows a night look so there could be alot going on. with the middle image that is more catoony then the rest with the pink bug and with the standing body it is much differnt theen the other 2 and it has it own speccialty
I think that you got the overall idea of your artist, but I think that all of the pictures aren't as clear as they could be, and the edges could've been more crisp.
I like the concept of all the pictures; I like the bottom two the most. Giving inanimate objects legs is somewhat strange but humorous and I think you did a decent job at it, therefore representing your artist well. Nice work.
