The Original.
Vilho Setala - Little Men, Long Shadows
My Re-Creation
I started this project thinking that recreating the tonal values and the lighting shouldn't be too hard. I was way off. I used a desk lamp as my lighting source, and it seemed to have a limited threshold. After about 40 minutes of trying to maneuver my setting and the lighting just right, i finally settled. I wanted to bring in more light to the left of the image, however doing this would create a new set of shadows. I also wanted to increase the exposure of the image, just a tad but doing this would have completely whitened out the right corner. My favevorite part of this project was the Haagen Dasz I got to enjoy, which served me with the popsicle stick in the image.
I wasn't able to find very much information on "Little Men Long Shadows" but apparently Vilho Setala was one of Finlands art pioneers.
