For this series, I wanted to study the works of the most infamous paintings from art history. While in university, we take classes to learn about the styles of the art that came before us and the painters who created them. However, as photographers, we don’t spend the time dissecting old paintings and recreating them as other fine art students do.
For my own self-exploration of the master paintings, I look as the lighting and style of the original painting, then created a photograph based on my own interpretation.
