This was a simple shoot where I just thought the layout and the lighting was really effective, the composition looks very lonely as the mood of the picture shows that this setting has been used but it's been left.

Elizabeth Carmel

Unique and expressive landscape photography is what Elizabeth Carmel focusses on by using and experimenting with vivid colors and artistic compositions to create new, captivating visions of the natural world. Carmel wants her photos to show positiveness experiences of the world into fine art and believes that experiencing the Earth's beauty has the power to help nourish and unify us, so she believes that a photo should have a story behind it.

Her photos aren't specifically like mine but it's the context of Elizabeth Carmel which I like as her beliefs are like mine, I feel like a photo could look very striking such as a flower or a model walking the streets of london with the most fashionable clothes on but I personally like photos which tell or give us something, something personal which we can relate too. Hidden meanings.

 

This is a image of Carmels on her website and I chose it as I think it' stunning. This photo was taken during sunrise and you can see this by the light blue sky and light pinks on the mountain. She has captured the moving water in the river this would have been done by a 3/4 second shutter speed. Taking this and looking at how I could inspire from I think reflections such as water would be interesting and deserted places like this setting, it looks so peaceful by the colours, calm water, the mountains.

I found this picture when looking at the thought of Loneliness and it really captured my eye. It looks at loneliness in a really different way as the emotion of space is huge, it looks secluded and mysterious. The photo looks edited with the black and white as it seems to have a blue-ish tint, but this photo would have been taken on a bleak grey day probably around the afternoon. I am going on a lovely walk with my family where I can look at lakes and shadows, more or less looking at the composition and ISO.

Glenside Hospital Museam

 

 

 

 

 

Throughout this course we are studying a essay and what to do it on, with my theme of Loneliness I have steered a bit against it but still with the concept of loneliness but looking at Mental Illnesses. Glenside Hospital Museum was a great place to look at in Bristol for inspiration. It wasn't just knowing the history of it and the illnesses, it was focussing on how Mental Illness was portrayed through photographs.

 

I noticed it was more telling a story of what their lifes were like, it wasn't staged, it was very natural and very basic. Techniques weren't thought of that much, they couldn't have been edited/photoshopped, shutter speed, ISO, they had to work with what they did have such as looking at lighting.
