Before        &              After

When recreating this picture, I first turned the saturation down to make the picture black and white. The ring that she is wearing in my picture is picture so I decided to colorize that picture with a purple tint. Then I erased the purple tint off of her body so that she remained black and white. I then wanted to blur the area around her body so that the picture was focusing on her. I erased the blur on her body so the image was only blurred around the edges. From there I made her nails and eyes purple along with pieces of her jewelry. After I did this, I made her bottom eye lashes more defined by adding small black lines beneath her eyes. I used the filter tool to make her lips look glossy so they were slightly defined like the woman's lips were in the orginal picture.

Upbringing? Jacques Lartigue was born in Courbevoie on June 13, 1894.

Art experience? He took his first photographs at the age of six, using his father’s camera, and started keeping what would become a lifelong diary.

Artistic Background:

Did your artists work in other artistic Mediums (paint, clay etc?) Photography was not his true vocation. In 1915 he attended the Académie Jullian: painting was to remain his professional activity and from 1922 onwards he exhibited in the salons of Paris and southern France.

Why is he or she a photographer?  He took his first photographs at the age of six, using his father’s camera, and started keeping what would become a lifelong diary.

What inspires his/her work?  Jacques-Henri Lartigue took pictures of fashionable beauties, French high society at play, and motor racing exploits to private moments of happiness with his three wives and lovers.

Has your artists encountered any hardships or successes in his or her life that are directly reflected in their work? His reputation as a photographer was not truly established until he was 69, with a retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the publication of a portfolio in Life.

"I take photographs with love, so I try to make them art objects. But I make them for myself first and foremost - that is important."

"Photography to me is catching a moment which is passing, and which is true."

Your image:

Why did you select this image?

I selected this image because the picture looks very feminine and emphasizes the jewelry she is very. I look jewelry and I thought I could remake good.

How would you describe your photographers style? (in your own words)

The photograph seems like it was taken of a woman in a high social class because the photograph focuses on the jewelry she is wearing. The picture style is feminine and classy.

After researching the photographer what have you found most interesting about his/her photographic style or image production?

The most interesting thing about this photographer is that he takes pictures of “fashionable beauties” and I look clothes and jewelry that are in fashion.

How are you planning to recreate your photographers image?

I want to reproduce the image in color with someone wearing extremely sparkly jewelry so that I can make it look like some of the jewels in the jewelry is shining. I also want the person I take the picture of to wear red lipstick like women use to wear back in the day.

What images do you anticipate taking to recreated this image? (i.e. describe the shots you intend to take to reach your final goal)

I want to take the image exactly like it looks in the original photo. I will have someone leaning their hand against their head while wearing pretty jewelry.
