Elliott Erwitt was born in Paris and is still living to this day. He took the his first steps of photographer by going to Italy and France to take pictures. Few years later, Erwitt was drafted into the US army. This did not stop him, while being stationed in different places, he still took pictures. Erwitt also because president of Magnum Photos for three years.
Elliott Erwitt composed this picture by setting a dog in front of a plain background. The were is a somewhat shadow casted below the dogs chin, and on its left side. The dog also had a big flower around it's neck. I placed my dog in front a plain background. I casted a shadow in the different direction though. The shadow gets casted on the wall instead of the dog. My dog also has a huge flower around her neck too. I also made my dog point her snout upward to mimic the dog in Erwitt's picture. I put the picture in black and white too. This picture I feel displays a rich superior mood. The way the dog has it's snout up in the air and a big flower around it's neck.
