Changes for proposal.
I might possibly change the makeup. I may still use corresponding colors for eyeshadow to match with the animal mask for each girl, but I might make it less dramatic. I may even now use a few guys, without any makeup of course!

Proposal 1/8/10
For my project, I wish to emulate the photographer Seattle Miles(who's Flickr link is here.) I admire outdoor life photos and would spend all day outside in the cold just to get a few beautiful shots. I appreciate this artist because he/she uses various subjects, and still can make them work with the outdoors. I have a few specific ideas of what I wish to accomplish with my emulation, and where I will go. I have this photo in mind to emulate. I adore photos that have a large aperture, such as F4.5. Since it is Winter in this photo and it is currently Winter here, I will be able to produce photos that are in the style of this photographer. Also, for the five photos, all of mine will have a large aperture with one point of focus, the subject's face and some of the neck/shoulder. The background, snow, will be out of focus and will emulate the style of "Seattle Miles." For my 5 photos , I will use humans. I have an idea of going to a costume store or a store where I can find either masks of animals, or something of an animal that can be put onto a human face to emulate the animal subject. I will possibly buy an elephant trunk that can be strapped around the head to make the human still look recognizable as a person, but also show the concept of animals in the outdoor life. I will use the same aperture setting and take the picture around the same time of day to get pictures with the same natural sunlight in each photo. The pictures of the humans will most likely be of the face and the neck at the most, since I want to focus on the theme of animals in the outdoor life. I will photo-shop my photos to look similar to those of Seattle Miles and have my assistants wear solid colors, maybe which go along with whichever animal I have them pretend to be. I think that if my models decided to wear a pattern, that may distract the viewer away from the face. I want to use humans because I believe it is creative and not something you may see everyday. I am looking forward to this emulation project and am eager to take many wonderful photos!
Depending on what I can find at a costume store:
*use slight amount of makeup to match the animal (if using girls)
1.cat-- cat ears/whiskers/SOME black eyeshadow
2.bunny-- ears/possible nose/SOME white eyeshadow
3.elephant-- trunk/SOME gray eyeshadow
4.puppy-- puppy ears/SOME black and brown shadow
5.pig-- pink pig nose/SOME bright pink eyeshadow

POST TWO 1/7/10
1. Zen Media
The photos that I have posted on my blog by the Flickr user-name, Zen Media, are digital. In these two prints, the photographer does not use artificial lighting, as it is obvious that they are outside. Many of Zen Media's pictures show nature and outdoor life. It seems as if this photographer appreciates outdoor life and adores capturing it. Both of these photos include water and both look to be during the Winter season. In the first photo, it is photo-shopped to black and white and it appears as if a medium/large amount of contrast was added, this is obvious because of the darkness of the posts on the dock and the difference in the whites and blacks. In the second photo, it looks less edited with photo-shop. However, this photo isn't all black and white, it just seems as if the editor took of a lot of the color quality out, but not to a point where it was edited to full black and white. Contrast may have been added in a small amount to enhance the dark values from the lighter ones. It is very possible that this photographer could have used an assistant, or even a tripod. However, these photos would not REQUIRE an assistant to capture what he did here. I appreciate pictures of outdoor life and especially in the Winter.
2. Abenedetti
The photos by this user are appearing to be digital photos, but I am not positive. The photographer is not using artificial lighting because these are underwater shots, most likely taken during the day under the sunlight, used for as the light source. Yes, these photos are photo-shopped. In the first picture, it seems as if the colors were dulled down a little and the values were increased, most likely by adding contrast, or "curves." The blue's are very blue and also the white from the sunlight is very white. In the second photo, it looks as if a bit of vignetting or masking was added. The blue in this photo looks darker, but it also could be because of a different reflection of the light in the water. Contrast isn't as obvious if it is added to this photo. The photographer needed the models for this photo as assistants, and those were probably the only assistants he needed.
3. Seattle Miles
The Flickr user, Seattle Miles, has many photos where he captures animal life, or wildlife. These two photos appear to be digitally photographed. In both photos, it does not seem like the photographer used artificial lighting, as they are both shot outside and the light seems like natural sunlight. In the first photo, the photo of the penguins, the colors seem to be somewhat enhanced and contrast is probably present. The sky is very blue, but that also could be how it looked that day or the quality of the original photo. In the second photo, there is a great point of focus, the animal. Photo-shop may have been performed, but in a minimal way. There is not much color to this photo to begin with, and since the background seems like a tree with snow, the photographer may have used some contrast to have the animal stand out more, and have the animal look more contrasted against the snowy backround. The photographer most likely worked alone on this photo, other than using the animal as his "model."
