1. Choose a famous photograph to work with. 2. Your recreation does not have to be an exact replica of the image, but should evoke the same mood/feeling/intent as the reference. The viewer should be able to recognize the inspiration for your work. 3. Think about the elements needed to recreate the image: model, clothing, accessories, props, setting. Do you have access to these elements to create a successful interpretation? 4. Lastly, think about lighting and point of view. 5. You can edit in photoshop if necessary.
