What vision or ideas did the photographer want to convey in their photographs?
Laurie loved making a factional reality. She liked making the unreal abstract world of dolls look like the possible and the real.
What photographic techniques did your photographer use when photographing, developing, and/or presentation?
She had moderately dim lighting or it was so that the lighting was focused just on the scene she was creating. When looking at her work, she makes you think a few different things such as 1. Is that real? and 2. Why did she choose to do this?
Who or what motivated your photographer to be interested in photography?
Laurie clams that life itself (and a little childhood imagination) is her inspiration to making the real world play out on the miniature scale.
Many of Laurie's photographs were played out in scenes. For example she had a series called "Cowboys" and it was a sequence of cowboy-like-dolls played out to make up almost a scene without actually spelling it out to people that it was a scene.
Like Laurie, I made a sequence as well that I have titled "Forgotten"
Laurie also has many photographs like the one I have here titled "Pink House." She symbolized many things in pictures like this such as women sterotypes, feminism and reality meeting the make believe.

"I'm Mr Shinny!!" So i do indeed like your photos that you took. I could really get the emotions that Laurie Simmons was trying to get out. And I think that you did a very good job with it.
All your photos represent Laurie Simmons ideas very well and all have the Feminist feel to them. I really like the last one alot! That ones my favorite and I really like how the background is all dark where the light focouses on the house and your legs. It was set up nicely!
i think all of your pictures are really good but i really like the last one. i think the lighting on it is really cool
Very Simmons-esk. Well done!
