Photo Recreation

Take photographs which emulates both the Ansel Adams' shot of Georgia O'Keefe and Wilber Cox and the Annie Liebowitz shot of John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd as the Blues Brothers. Pay attention to the spacing between the subjects and to the photographer's point of view. Experiment with the angle of the shot and with various backgrounds.
