This artist decided to go for a cowboy landscape image I really like how they have made it look like a cartoon with the could and the way the the focus is a bit off in a way. However, I don't like how the horse is half cut off in the frame because if it was not in the middle but a little more to the left then i feel like the image would be a bit better. I also really like how the lighting is in the photo because i like how the clouds or mist is all light blue but there are also specks of dark blue in there as well because i really think that it defines the image in a way.

The artist has chosen to make a landscape image withe no objects or people within the the frame. This picture give off a really dull look as it is mostly all shades of brown and grey and the lighting in it is sort of off as on one side it creates these really dark shadows which looks to be going over or forming a hill where as on the other side of the photo there are some faint shadows in places but the rest it is mostly light. I also realised that this photo is not framed in the center it is sort of taken to the left side. Which I think is a good thing because if every photo was framed in the middle there would be no story to tell because they would all look the same.

Liz Nielsen is an American photographer who lives and works in Brooklyn. Most of Nielsen's photographs are done without using a camera and is sometimes described as light paintings. She is known to work in the analog colour dark room which is where she exposes light sensitive paper and exposing is through a traditional colour chemistry each.
In this piece of work she has cut out different kinds of shapes with black paper. This is to show and define the outline of her garden. In this photo I can see a bunch with some gardening equipment and a pipe on the side. However I would say that she could have added a bit more black so that there wasn't so much light because this photo is making me feel like there is something missing and I think that it's because of the amount of space is left. |
Geraldo De Barros is a Brazilian painter and photographer. He was well known for his fotoformas which is a series of photographs that uses of multiple exposures, rotated photos, and also abstract forms. This is so that he can capture a phenomenological image. I really like this image as it is unique and eye catching. However i'm not sure why the tree is floating and I don't like how the tree is cut out because you can see where it has been cut out and I think it makes it look sloppy. However, I like the detail of the tree against the black background because I think it makes the tree pop/ stand out more and gives the image character.

This was my first test of making a photogram of my minimal landscape experiment. I feel like this went really well because its not too bright but not too dark as well.The only thing i would change would have to be the way the lighter thing are a bit dark and grey I just feel like they could be a bit lighter.For this project I used ampeture 5.6 enlarger eight and I exposed it for only 5 seconds. but I feel like it could have been under there a second or too longer.

This was my second test at the mineral landscape experiment I think that this test went a bit better because the lighter bit is more bright and less grey which I think was an improvement as in the last one more dark and dull and some parts of it blended into the black. but with this one u can see the lighter parts more clearly. In this test i think i need to work on making the tree lighter because it's still a little dull. I think I like this one more this time i used ampeture 5.6 enlarger eight but I exposed it for 6 seconds instead of 5 which is why I think some parts came out darker than the other. In my final test i want to make some parts a bit lighter than others.

today we went on a trip to the expedition of photography in London. the artist that caught my eye the most in there as a woman named Mandy Baker and she explored landscapes in photography as well. her work mostly consists of litter in the ocean and how much plastic the is in our bodies of water.This really amazed me and realise how much plastic there really is.One of here pieces was a photo of what looked like jelly fish but it was just two plastic bags of floating in a dark background another on of her pieces wasn't a photo but a piece of are i think she did and it was some of the plastic she collected but the gradually got smaller and smaller until there was nothing. i really liked here woke because i liked how she used the lighting in her photos to manipulate the way it looked. I also like how not all her photos were not framed in the middle because it made it a bit unique in a way. This was some of Mandy Baker's work.

This is my video for my slide project I like how the colours of my slides have shown through nicely on the projector. However, I do think I could have done more than I did even if it was jut adding music in the background. That is something I will think about for the next video I do. However because it was my first time making something like this im quite proud of how it turned out.

In this video Dafna Talmor explains how and why she wants to make a utopian landscape. She makes utopian landscapes because she wants to discover and create a landscape that exists in her mind but not in real life things she wishes she could see in the real world. In this video she explains how she gets this overwhelming feeling when sh is out with her camera because she knows that there are no limits. Talmor makes her slides by taking a range of her own landscapes and the deconstructing them and adding another one to make it stand out more.

In the video Dionne makes different collages with a rang of different photos. She does this by tearing these images up and putting them together to make a constructed landscape. Her landscapes remind me of Dafna Talmores utopian landscapes because she makes a landscape that isn't real in the real world but is in her imagination. This video made me feel really relaxing in a way because i like how it is in a blank quiet setting and i like the sound of paper tearing. However I found it quite confusing. Because it was really random and the finished product really unique. I also noticed that she took most of her images from what looked like magazines or books.

This was my response to Dionne Lee's constructed landscape video. I definitely think that there is room to improve however for my first time iI am pleased with the results. I also want to improve on the time of my video because I do think that that it is a bit too long

This is one of his pieces of work. This one caught my eye the most because it reminds me of the blue hour. However it also reminds me of a massive ice glacier but the camera is placed inside of it. I like the lighting because i like how it progressively gets darker. Rolfsen actually didn't mean to make this project he did it because he was inspired by the colours and the inside of the bag so he took photographs of it. He took the photo by placing his camera inside of the at the angle he wanted and then he took the photo. This photo gives me an uneasy felling in a way because it looks like a cave with no way out in a way. I like how he's got different tones of blue in this piece of work because it makes it more nice to look at and it isn't just one tone or. This makes his work less dull or boring to look at.
