These images are based on Richard Avedon's 'In The American West'. I have imitated his images by asking my models to have quite blank expressions and adding captions with their names and where they live. I think that Avedon shot his images on a film camera, I didn't have one so I used a digital camera and used photoshop to recreate the colour and tone in his images. I shot my photographs in colour then used photoshop to make them black and white. After I made them black and white I applied a brown tint to make them look more like Avedon's work. I then noticed that the background was looking quite yellow toned and Avedon's were very bleached out. To alter this I used the magic wand tool to select the background only and not my model, then altered the levels to make my background a bright white. I then selected the inverse to select my model and made them a bit darker to create a contrast between them and the background.
I am really pleased with my images and think they do a good job of imitating Avedon's work. I really like this style and the sepia tones.
These are the images I was trying to recreate - Taken by Richard Avedon in his set 'In The American West'
