Richard Tuschman takes painting by Edward Hopper and recreates them in stunning quality and painter like effects. Edward Hopper has always been a huge influence on photography because of his subject matter being so similar. I am a fan of his paintings because of the loneliness and forlorn looks his figures have, I always wonder what they are thinking or going through at the time. Tuschman focuses more on Hopper's paintings of women looking forlorn or lost. Whats most interesting though is his attention to detail, in the images above the light and shadows are the same, the woman is represented the same way and even outside the window the same landscape is shown. The effects of the photographs visually is compelling aswell, you have to do a double take to check whether they are actually photographs because of the painting look they have so strongly. I don't think I will try to enhance the image to a painter like quality because I want them to have a modern day twist and associate with people nowadays.
