Alex Prager
Alex Prager born in Los Angeles California in 1979. She is now 35. Alex never attend a school for art she was self taught. She gained inspiration from movie directors such as Douglas Sirk and Alfred Hitchcock, and fashion photography. Her photos have the same quality as movie stills and still life. Alex takes realistic movie scenes and creates them in her own way. She uses bold colors, unexpected angles, dramatic lighting and featured feature women disguised in wigs, dramatic makeup, and retro attire. I chose her because of her unique point of views and scenes she chose I also liked the eye series she had
Photo Emulation
This photo was taken by Alex Prager. It is the photo of an
eye. The space between the eyelid and the eyebrow looks highlight by a light. There
is a shadow of the upper lashes in the same space as the area that appears to
be highlighted. The photo was taken at an upward angle this angle created. It is
definitely an interesting point of view. There is only one focus and that is
the eye.

I tried to recreate the highlight by using the flashlight on
my phone, by doing this the shadow of the upper lashes was also created. I held
the camera at and upward angle and at a bit of a slant in order to create the
slant of the picture. To make this picture more alike if I were to redo it I would
try and match the angle better.
