Deman is an international photographer who is known for her unusual environmental images. Similarly to Briggs, Tanja has a unique take photography. She has inherited a modern look on landscape photography which appeals greatly to me. Tanja was born in Split, Croatia. Her work is inspired by concepts of physical and emotional perceptions. Tanja uses geographical formations, architectures and specific spaces as places  of inspiration. She experiments with complex ideas to reinforce her photography.

Tanja’s work includes photography, collage, film, and public art. She also investigates the relationship between man and nature. She observes modernism within the natural landscape. Her work reflects on the dynamics hidden beneath the surface of built and natural environments. The images below are both examples of Deman’s work, however they are very different in the form, perspective,and context.In each image, she is showing the beauty within the surroundings, however the images are very contrasting. One of the images are in color, whereas the other is taken in black and white. Although both the images are of the environment, one is taken underwater, and the other is of an urban scene. You can see that she is trying to portray different things within these photos.

Luigi Ghirri was born in 1943 and died in 1992. He was an Italian photographer who produced colour photographs of landscape and architecture. His images always consider the balance between people and their surroundings.  Ghirri works in series, photographing parks, beaches, and urban scenes. His use of colour is well known to create expression.  He uses his native homeland, Italy, to produce his images.

 

 

I believe Luigi Ghirri relates to the work of Tanja Deman because they both have a slimier interest, which is considering and experimenting with the balance between Nature and Man, They both also take inspiration from their homeland to create the images that they want. For the period that each of the them are working in, they are very up to date, and like to inherit new ideas. They both also have very modern perspectives.

Both the photographers create very ascetically pleasing images. The colors that they use are also very slimier. I love they way Ghirri uses angles and shapes to  create a symmetrical looking images that is pleasing to the eye. Tanja also uses this technique for a few of her images as well.
