Imitation
Emitation
Imitation - a thing intended to simulate or copy something else.
Emitiation - Being inspired by a piece of work and building off of it.
For this project, I was imitating/emitating Irving Penn's photograph of The Hand of Miles Davis. I had my model imitate the placement of the fingers, then had the idea of taking more images of the human body and exploring contrast.
