Dorothea Lange Draft #1










In this photo series, my goal was to capture moments using photography that shared similar concepts and elements found in Dorothea Lange's work. I decided to focus on documentary style photography by going to an art class and photographing each students facial expressions while doing art. I tried to capture an emotion in each photo while also showing the project they were working on.

  3. Great photos Ingrid. What captivates me the most about this set, is that each one of your photos express a different type of artist and emotion. You really were able to capture the true essence and being of the individual in their natural form.

  4. I think you did a great job of capturing the facial expressions. The models all seemed very concentrated on their work, and it looked like they didn't know you were there.

  5. These photos capture nice intimate moments of your subjects. I also like that you can slightly see the art in each picture. However, I don't see much emotion in each face. Maybe try photographing pictures of people doing other things that give them different facial expressions, all of these have similar expressions of concentration.

  7. Great Series. I really like how you captured people working hard on art. i also like how you were able to capture a lot of emotion in the peoples faces whale they were creating art. i especially like the photo of eva. i think that you can see lost of emotion in her face and also see the art she is producing. in your next series i would recommend more angles like the angle you used in this photo because you can see the art and the emotion.

  9. Great job Ingrid! I don't know this photographers work but you did a great job at capturing the concentration in peoples faces as they work. I like that the focus of the photos isn't just on the people or their art, but both of these
