Texture on Water Inspired by and In The Style of Adrienne Adams

I felt it important to incorporate Adrienne Adam’s style of texture on water after focusing on the reflections side which required a smoother texture.  Now however I  am emphasising more motion based textures of the water.  This I believe shows the structure of the movement of water rather than water itself, it shows what water does as it is surrounded in its natural environment of wind, objects and depth of water, factors influencing the structure of water.  I particularly like how the structure of water changes, adapts and is determined by its natural environment but also the idea of how essential it is in supporting life.  The structure of water is in a sense a structure of life and so this fascinates me particularly.  Adrienne Adams used gentle texture to show the structure of water as something as subtle and therefore considered as taken for granted as a structure of life.  I wanted to emphasise the structure as being a bit more independent and also influential too.  I achieved this by ensuring the framing to be centred towards the actual object I want the viewer to focus on most.  Whereas before I took the camera and shot the photograph from a distance using the zoom heavily, I wanted to show the textures as sharper and have a stronger depth through aperture and so now shot with a macro setting, far closer up.  I think I made the right choice here, as I believe I showed the structure of water as playing a more significant role within its natural environment than Adrienne Adams.  I wanted to capture this because water is essentially a vital part of our world and its structure also is one of the structures that ensures life on Earth survives.  I am happy with how my shoot went overall because I explored different structures of water and how its influenced and influences other objects through its own structure, particularly clear to us through its range of textures.
