As the magazine I am making is a fashion themed magazine, the first parody I chose to do was based on 'The Girl With The Pearl Earring' by Johannes Vermeer.
My sister agreed to pose for the picture in the same way the lady has done in Johannes Vermeer's painting but we took the picture against a plain background which could be later removed. My sister also dressed in a casual jumper but with a Chinese silk scarf around her head to show the fashion in the 21st Century is casual but also has an element of sophistication to it.
After we got the picture right, I put it into Photoshop and put her against a black background. This helped to make it obvious which painting I was recreating.
The second parody I chose to make was based on 'The Whistler's Mother' by James Abbott McNeill Whistler.
My friend Emily modelled as Anna Mcneill Whistler did in the original painting and we took the picture in the Lower School reception area which is similar to the background in the painting. To make it more relevant to my magazine and more modern day Emily posed in the painting in her normal every day clothes to represent fashion in the 21st Century.
I then put the image into photoshop to put the same curtain in my image that is in the original painting and changed the colour balance so that the image had more enhanced green tone to make it clear what painting I was recreating.
