Duplicating Photos

[soey]

u see this particular image and u just love it .. u find model and do the same thing exactly.. similar outfit , styling and lightings as well ..

i remember my one of my course instructor said there no wrong in copying. as he also said that doing an art exam. u see what others drew and u did exactly the same thing and thats not cheating.

what your views?

Actually nothing wrong with it. You went through the process of getting it as close to the image seen. You might even face why you can't get this certain effect etc.

Of course do tweak your image a bit to form your own stye.
