Jessi's World
The first picture below shows Christina's World by American artist Andrew Wyeth. From Wikipedia:
"Christina's World is a 1948 painting by American painter Andrew Wyeth and one of the best-known American paintings of the middle 20th century. It is a tempera work done in a realist style, depicting a woman semi-reclining on the ground in a treeless, mostly tawny field, looking up at a gray house on the horizon; a barn and various other small outbuildings are adjacent to the house."
I thought it would be interesting to create a photograph inspired by Wyeth's famous painting. It was taken on a wheat farm in the Palouse area of eastern Washington. Third photograph is a pull back shot. Last is the model, Jessiann Loomis, a fourth generation wheat farmer, with the finished photograph.
