Digital Photography 2 Famous Paintings

For your final, you will create a modern photographic version of a famous painting! 
Click here to see which paintings you may use. 

You should have a strong concept for a narrative that should be conveyed through your photo.  Change the original narrative of the painting to one of your own.

In general, place your "models" in similar poses and spacing as the figures in the paintings, but make it modern by changing the setting, costumes, emotions, etc.

For this final project, you can utilize your photography skills AND your capabilities using Photoshop should you choose.  Your photo can be manipulated.  It does not have to have a naturalistic look.  Edit as much as you would like, but keep the essence of the original painting.

Senior projects are due to be critiqued on Thursday, May 27.  All others are due on Tuesday, June 1.
