Photo Recreation
For my photo recreation, I made a copy of Steve McCurry's Afghan Girl photo for National Geographic. Steve McCurry is a specialit in taking pictures of foreign cltures for National Geographic. To take pictures, he dresses up in local clothing, finds people he thinks well represent the culture and takes their portrait. This Afghan girl was a refugee in Pakistan in 1983 afer the Soviet Union bombed her village. Her poor status and the traumatic experiences shes gone through are reprsented in the picture by her torn up clothing and the ditrustful glare she is giving the camera. To recreate the photo, I wrapped my sister in a head scarf and made her do the crazy eyed look the Afghan girl was doing.
