Historical Re-Enactment



Historical Re-Enactments of paintings have been a long standing practice in photography. Before the range of the medium was known, many photographers recreated fine arts masterpieces, not being able to break with the traditions of painting and drawing. We were asked to take this concept and make it modern. I chose Gustave Caillebotte's "On a Bridge in Europe." I love the light, and loneliness in the painting. I wanted to keep the same kind of setting and mood, just modernized.This photo shoot was very interesting. We almost died in a few different ways to get the final shot.
