On the left you see Erwin Blumenfeld's 1950 Vogue magazine cover. In them days editing software stretched stretched as far as paint and a paintbrush, nowadays on the other hand, we have access to incredible computer software such as Photoshop. My version of this image (right) was made for our Unit 2 Re-creation project. I took my inspiration from Rankin's re-creation of Blumenfeld's image where he used modern tech to create a modernized version of the cover. Rankin went down the road of making the image a bit less serious by getting his model to cheekily stick her tongue out and lick her top lip. He also added the nostrils of the model into his version of the picture to fill a bit of the plain space left in the middle, this i liked, however the cheeky tongue i didn't think best to add into my re-creation as i wanted a formal re-creation with the twist of using modern technoligy such as digital cameras and editing, and high quality lighting equipment, whilst getting as close to Blumenfeld's original as possible. Which in my opinion i have done quite well for a days work.
