Photography a-level Year 2

The Work of Ansel Adams is all made with some of the "primitive" forms of technology at the time, as all of the images, as all of his images we're taken with cameras that required film, which is why they were all displayed in black and white as at the time the technology wouldn't allow colour on regular film, but colour would be on slide film that were used in a way that resembles a presentation. Ansel Adams' work is of nature and its indescribable beauty, as some of my work of the past mirrors his style, for example the close-up of the leaf is similar to one of my latest photo shoots in a forest area in coulsdon. Taking many close-ups images of nature rotten man-made landmarks and detailed plantlife.         

Joe Cornish Joe Cornish is a landscape photographer who personally I believe has a vast amount of beautiful images of the the countryside, and is possible the work I will follow up with further in my coursework. His use of colour makes his work look unique, as the sight of the sun looming over the horizon adds a heartwarming feeling to the viewer, as colours such as yellow, orange and blue gives the image some biblical imagery. As well as this the images by Joe Cornish reflect a very good mood as during my research into landscape i saw lots of images that display subtle dark themes, for example large amounts of the image being covered in darkness or having realistic or modern themes such as Civil war of terrorism in third world countries, but because the images portrayed are close to home they have different themes. 

Charlie Waite's style in Landscape photography is very interesting because of his choice to have range of different images that show heavy amounts of one specific colour, for example in one of the images above the picture is mainly purple and blue, whereas in Charlie Waite's other colours are presented which show he's not prone to repeating himself, as in other images images can heavy amounts of green, grey and blue and also occasionally white, this may present the different moods that are felt throughout the different seasons. As some of his images have actually been taken during the event of a thunderstorm.
