Back in the 1930's there was a very accomplished photographer working tirelessly named George Hurrell.  George Hurrell is known for black and white images with very dramatic lighting.  He would use this style with famous Hollywood stars and was very sought-after.  I am currently taking a photography class and our assignment was to pick a photographer and mimic images they have taken/their style.  I chose to mimic George Hurrell and I am so glad I did because I learned so much and it has made me a better photographer with more knowledge!

Inspired by George HurrellI originally thought this was by George Hurrell and later realized that someone else made this image, from inspiration from George Hurrell.. so I guess I replicated a replica :).
