Personal investigation final

Inspiration from Woody Gooch- (artist research further down blog) Shoot plan- In this shoot I am planning to work in inspiration from Woody Gooch and his minimalistic compositions. After researching into his work I noticed he uses a lot of negative space and usually positions the focus of the image in the bottom third of the composition. In inspiration to this i am intending to create some very minimal compositions using the rule of the thirds to compose this image using the lower thirds so there is lots of negative space around the subject (similar to Woody's work).

I would like to explore Chris Burkard's style of photography into my work- he takes a more editorial approach which focuses on documenting a place for publishing purposes. Therefore I decided I would try and shoot in a similar kind of way focusing on capturing ima...

 Chris Burkard artists reasrch- Chris Burkard is a professional landscape photographer who captures inspiring landscapes at the farthest areas of the earth.

His photography takes a photojournalist approach and takes more editorial based images.  I have chosen the images above as they are based on surf landscapes/ seascapes which fits my theme following surf and skate culture, I will be analysing these images. The pictorial space in these images is very deep, he creates depth by capturing the background in high quality and bright lighting to make it stand out against the foreground. Not many shadows are used in his work so therefore there is a lot of bright det...
