Monday in Photography: The Gaze

Today we took pics of each other reflecting different gazes that we looked at last week. We tried to respond specifically to the following photographs by Cindy Sherman, Julia Cameron and Richard Avedon.

INTENTION: To experiment with different styles.
THINGS TO CONSIDER:
- Where the person is looking
- Body language
- What is in the background
- The composition (How much of the body do we see? Where is it within the frame?)
