Erwin Blumenfeld (1897–1969) was a photographer and artist born in Germany. He was best known for his fashion photography published in Vogue and Harper's Bazaar in the 1940s and 1950s. In addition to fashion photography, he produced an extensive body of celebrity portraiture, fine-art photography (including black and white nudes), drawings, and Dada collages. He made photographs while a resident of Germany, the Netherlands, France, and the United States, and has been called "one of the most innovative and influential photographers of the 20th century." I took a series of photos inspired by the work of Erwin Blumenfeld using different pieces of glass to distort the face and create an abstract image. The type of distortion in these photos is very similar to that of Blumenfeld's because of the chopped up effect that the glass gives to the photos. Bill Jacobson is an American photographer. He received a BFA from Brown University in 1977 and an MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1981. These are the photos that I further edited to produce a response to Bill Jacobson's work. These are some photos inspired by the work of Bill Jacobson. In his work he distorts the face so you can still see it but it is slightly blurred or out of focus. These photos were taken in the dark room and because of the darkness the photos come out slightly blurred if you move the camera while taking the photo which creates a similar effect to that of Jacobson's work.
