Re-photographing

After having used photocopies of images in my previous work I have now begun to look at the idea of re-photographing photographs taken by well known photographers. I was inspired in doing this by Sherrie Levine's series After Walker Evans series in which she  famously appropriated a Walker Evans exhibition catalog First and Last.

The pictures that I have re-photographed are taken from William Eggleston's Los Alamos and Stephen Shore's Stephen Shore. I chose to use these specific books because they are two of my favourite photography books.
