I chose Sam Jones as the photographer I wanted to emulate. Sam Jones started at like a lot of photographers do, as a boy with just a disposable camera and a pocketful of dreams. Sam dreamed of someday taking pictures for his own magazine or have his own show, and not being controlled by a company but working for himself. At a young age Sam grew to love the popular bands like the Rolling Stones and The Clash. As his love grew for music he became obsessed with the record covers and their elaborate design. From that point Sam knew he someday wanted to photograph famous people so his pictures could appear on records and in magazines. Sam is now living in California and works taking pictures of famous celebrities all across America for magazine covers, movie posters, and portraits.
In the picture I chose, Sam's subject is the comedian, Will Ferrell, who is casually sitting in a hot tub surrounded covered in bubbles. I chose Sam because I find celebrity pictures interesting because I can recognize the model in the picture. I chose this specific picture because Will Ferrell is acting serous while lounging in a tub of bubbles which is ironic and hilarious.
To emulate this picture I got into a bath tub wearing a cowboy hat and wearing a beard of bubbles. Though similar my emulation is a reverse of Sam's picture. While Sam's model is pale and has a dark background, my model is tan with a white background. My model has a shorter beard of bubbles but has a proportionate amount of chest bubbles compared to Sam's photo. If I wear to emulate this photo again I would have done it outside, gotten more accurate bubbles, and found a more similar hat.
