Research Log

Cameron Davidsonhttp://www.camerondavidson.com


This photo is typical of Davidson's work he typically does aerial landscape shots which look pretty cool and usually portray depth really well but he also does some portraiture, this may be useful if I was to do a landscape project.

Ben Heine http://www.benheine.com/

 Ben Heine is a photographer and artist, a lot of his work is based on 'Pencil versus Camera' where he will take a photo with part of it replaced by a pencil drawing.  His photos are usually portraits or small sections of landscapes and quiet often show form, depth and colour.


I find his work interesting as it is quite imaginative to look at something and go 'yeah a dinosaur will look good right there.'
















Edward Westonhttp://www.edward-weston.com/edward_weston.htm

Weston's photographs are all black and white due to the time he was alive and so they all display tone well.  All of his photographs have a very similar style but he photographed a range of different things from Landscapes to nudes and natural forms.

Ellen Von Unwerth - http://www.ellenvonunwerth.com/

Ellon Von Unwerth is a photographer and director who specialises in 'erotic femininity'.  A lot of her photographs contain complete or partial nudity or contain 'kinky' circumstances which is typical of her work.  Her work would be good for studying form especially that of the human figure.

 Anne Hardy is known typically for creating large scale photographic pieces of work and sculptural instalments. they are typically composed of a variety of different things therefore several different element could be look at.

 Adam Gibbs's work typically shows depth, colour and form and is generally focused on nature.  His work would be useful if I was to do a landscape project.


Nicholas Samaras - http://www.underwater-photography.gr/#/photo-sets/

 Nicholas Samaras is a relatively new photographer who focuses on a more modern approach to his work, taking underwater photos of both wildlife and people.  I think his work looks really good and I would be really interested in trying this but don't have the right equipment for it.


Michael Bosanko's work consists mainly of this really awesome looking 'light graffiti'.  It's created using a long exposure in a very dark room and someone in front of the camera with some form of a light source which they use to 'draw' in the air.  I think this creates some stunning effects and I would love to try this in my own work.

Ansel Adams - http://www.anseladams.com

These photos are typical of Ansel's work, he mainly has wide landscape shots but does have some close-ups of natural things and some portraiture.  His photos are good for showing form and depth.

Michael Kenna is an English photographer best known for his black & white landscapes.  His work typically portrays depth, tone and repetition really well.

Sam Taylor-Wood - http://whitecube.com/artists/sam_taylor-johnson/

 Sam Taylor-Wood is a English film-maker, photographer and visual artist.  Her work typically features things you don't normally see like portraits of people suspended in the air or in the middle of doing a flip.  I chose her work as it portrays form, shape and sometimes depth.












Jerry Uelsman - http://www.uelsmann.net/

 Uelsman is an expert in photo manipulation using only a wet darkroom with no digital aid.  He constructs his work from layers of silver halide negatives peiceing together each aspect a layer at a time.  His work shows tone and usually depth.

Charles Austin (HighVerbalFan) - https://www.flickr.com/photos/highverbalfan/

 The only thing that is really typical about Austin's work is that none of it really fits the 'norm' but other than that he does portraits, conceptual photography, close-up insect photos and just random photos of things he found interesting or events that happened in his life.





Jay Maisel - http://www.jaymaisel.com

 Maisel is an american photographer whose work is best know for capturing light and colour in everyday life but I would probably look more at his reflection work.
