Of course as photographers we draw inspiration from all mediums of art, including paintings. I have always been fascinated by historical paintings and have an interest in creating photographs that have a painterly style to them. When I was given the assignment to recreate an old painting for my History of Photography class, I was extremely excited. I decided to recreate a self portrait by Joseph Ducreux, the French painter: "Yawn" - 1783. Below is a comparison shot of the painting on the left and my photograph on the right.
