Personal reflection
I picked Andy Warhol as my photographer at first because he was the only name on the list that I recognized. I knew only of a few photographs of his. As I researched, I found out the variety and plethora of photographs and artwork that Warhol created and inspired. This project even pushed me to try something new in the pop art image I created. Andy Warhol started out from the humblest of beginnings and rose to become a household name with the humblest of professions. Andy Warhol is and will always be an inspiration to
my photographic life.Slide15
