Crisman is a commercial photographer. Crisman specializes in environmental portraits, and sources of interest are small American towns and the rural life/population. I liked the consistency of Chris Chrisman's photography. The photographer usually shoots straight on and for advertising. I like sports so I chose a baseball shot to emulate. The subject is Joey, who dressed in a baseball uniform and regular house lighting to recreate the photo on the left. I used photoshopped the background of the photo but the lighting is not filtered. The player looks posed with a bat swinging but is captured because of the fast shutter speed, unless the player is just posing. I emulated the above photo by shooting straight on with no up/down, left/right in the picture. The rule of thirds is used by lining the left and right shoulders of the baseball player wit the guidelines. The photo is vertical and should stay vertical because otherwise more of the background would've gotten into the picture and the length height/skinny) of the player would not be as shown. The bat over the right shoulder leads the viewer's eyes from the top right to the bottom left corner. Sports are very interesting and baseball season has started so the subject is captivating. The mood created by this picture is victory. The smirk on the player's face seems to be proud, like he had won a game or competition. The simplicity of the background is successful in this photo. To improve the photo I would have gotten some blur to add the element of motion into the photograph. The thing I would change in my emulation would be to find a better background and edit the color of the uniform to give it a sepia tone. Also my picture did not come out as clear as planned.
