Utitled by Philip Lorca Dicorcia

         I chose Philip Lorca Dicorcia's photogrphs. He is a photographer who takes photos of portrait. Before I choose him, I looked other landscape photographer. However, I thought a portrait of person can show the pictures' emotion and mood rather than landscape. The reason why I chose this photographer is color, light, and characters in his photos. He usually uses light to emphasize people. As you can see these three examples, in his photos, most of backgrounds are dark and achromatic color. However, the lighting parts are not dark and they are colorful. The colors can maximize what he wants to show and makes photos not simple and bored, Also he uses props so there aren't only people in the pictures, the props support the people'e emotions.  

        I hope that I can emulate him as much as I can. I want to focus on to the light, color, and people's facial express. Because I will take photos of people, I will not maximize landscape or back ground. If the landscape and back ground need to express some portraits, I would use them but not maximize them. I may edit them with dark color and put bright color to the people so that i could emphasize what I want to tell through the pictures.
