Artist Challenge - Edward Steichen

[Tina Mac]

*Edit - I have decided to extend the deadline for the artist challenge in light of the busy season. I'll send out a reminder after the first of the year!*

Thank you for selecting me as the winner of the Yousef Karsh challenge, and thank you to all that participated.

For this challenge, I've chosen Edward Steichen. Steichen was the first modern fashion photographer and a passionate advocate for photography as an art form. To see some of his work and biography, see link below:

How exactly does this challenge work?!

[Tina Mac]

@shyanewiegers Just take a photo that is inspired by Edward Steichen's work (see link above or you can also do a google image search for Edward Steichen to see some of his work), take it and load it within the challenge time frame, tag it as "artist_steichen" and you have entered the challenge! It's also nice to post it on this thread to show everyone your work!

Can photo's taken outside of the 12/27 - 1/9 date apply or do they need to be taken during that time as well?

[Tina Mac]

@myhrhelper In order to be considered as one of the finalists, the photo does need to be taken and uploaded between the timeframe of the challenge.

@tinatmmc

have just thought that my pic was taken a while back but was only creatively processed on the 27th- does that count?

[Tina Mac]

@mjkthorpe Sorry...your shot is brilliantly edited for the challenge, but it does need to be actually taken during the challenge time frame in order to qualify to be one of the finalists. Again, sorry...

Ok, here's what I came up with. Self portraits are harder than I expected, LOL

I really want to thank you for this challenge. For me, it will be an on-going experiment. I'll let you know if I ever really get the shot I'm looking for. Here is my photo inspired by his work with shadows, especiallly Fred Astaire—Top Hat in “Funny Face,” 1927.
