Photography which interests me.

Landscape / location photography -

What interests me about this photograph is the use of colour and mix of nature with a human
aspect of buildings. The shot in which it has been taken is aesthetic and captures
an interesting front view of the coloured buildings. I like the overall composition and detail of the image,
mostly the abstract effect the reflection of the housing lights onto the lake has. I also like how
the colours of the houses are different and not in a particular sequence, making the
whole landscape shot overall pleasing.

Nature photography-


I like how the close up photograph focuses on an interesting texture and two colours by using shallow
depth of field whilst still allowing many details to be obvious in the background. I have taken the photograph
in natural light and the photo includes a variety of natural colours - the blue sky, a green palm tree. The idea
that both the water in the fountain and ocean behind are moving intrigues me and tells a story as to
where this photo may have been taken etc.
The lighter shade of blue in the foreground and darker shade in the background is aesthetically pleasing in
terms of colour.

The process of adding an object within the frame of the photo or placing it in a position in front of the
camera to create an actual aesthetic effect projected onto the photo is something which I
would like to experiment more with. Using my lensball and prism has allowed white light and rainbows
to naturally be created. I enjoy the concept of making these effects naturally rather than photo-shopping
/ image manipulating them.

City light photography -
I like how this photograph contrasts natural colours and settings, from the sun setting in the background
and city/ night life shown in the foreground. The blurry, bokeh effect on the city lights makes the photo
look aesthetic and adds an aspect of something interesting / different, rather than normal lights.
I also like how the angle of the photo captures the main city from a distance and a quiet road. I like the
concept of the photographer focusing on the quiet road rather than moving down to a busier city, though
there is a glimpse of it in the background. There could be many meanings and stories behind this photo,
by showing a road leading to somewhere. The idea of telling stories through photographs interests me,
therefore this part of photography is something I would like to explore
and intertwine in my work for / in future projects.

( Example of a photographer that interests me )
Brandon Woelful 
Though portraiture is an aspect of photography which is not my first interest as much as other areas, it is still an area I would like to research and experiment with. Brandon Woelful's work is an example of an aesthetic I would like to experiment with, by further creating bokeh effects and bringing objects into photos to add depth and interest to the photo.
The colour scheme of the photos in image manipulation include blues, purples, white etc. Having a select theme to symbolise and have as a signature look is an aspect I would like to include in my photography.
