It has been said that imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. Imitation is also how intelligent beings learn and grow throughout childhood and beyond. Art students have always apprenticed with teacher/artists, often imitating their work repeatedly until they had absorbed and understood a particular style, not only in their minds, but in their beings.
Each month we will honor and emulate a different (and sometimes well-known) photographer. The title of the project,"Epigona", is the plural form of the word Epigone: "one who is a follower, disciple or imitator of a well known artist, or style". We'll all have a chance to pay homage and to learn from great photographers, many of which will be pulled directly from Utata Editor's Greg Fallis' popular Sunday Salon series.
The photographer which we have chosen for second project is Debbie Fleming Caffery. Greg originally introduced many of us to her work in a Sunday Salon last summer. Re-familiarize yourself with her images and back story.
So, in a nutshell, please venture forth and take photos in the style of the chosen photographer.
Participating in this Utata project is simple! You need to do/have the following three things and then all you have to do is tag your photos utata:project=epigona-caffery (read about other tagging options) and you're all set! Have fun!
