FINAL OUTCOMES

This post covers my final outcomes from the whole landscape project. Some of these were photographs that i had printed and some are purposed for the blog.

The first of my final outcomes is this composition of 2 photographs of mountainous landscape in Madeira. I chose to put these two photographs together as one of my final pieces simply because i believe the photos show my raw camera skills and show the true beauty of the landscape as opposed to my previous projects in which my final outcomes were fairly edited and although the raw camera skills of those pieces were good the editing could be seen to ‘take over’ the raw skill. I believe that the exposure of all the photos that I have chosen for my final outcomes are well suited to the condition in which the photos were taken. These 2 photographs have taken inspiration from and are a response to the romanticism landscape photographer Ansel Adams.

Outcome 1

For my second final outcome I have chosen this 3 piece composition of black and white photographs of rocks and water. I believe that these photos represent the harmony of land and ocean as the water covered rocks show how the ocean adds to the aesthetics of the land. the monochrome of the images helps to focus on the detailed textures and shadows of the images by enhancing the light and dark within each.

Outcome 2

For my third final outcome I have chosen this 3 piece composition of photographs of  minimal, colourful and bold architecture which show a really interesting combination of shape, pattern, shadow and colour.  Also the combination of the 3 primary colours is something that I believe is rather aesthetically pleasing. These 3 images are a inspired by the abstract photographer Yener Torun.

Outcome 3

For my fourth final outcome I have chosen this 4 piece composition of photographs of houses positioned in and on top of natural landscapes to show how industrialization/property building effects the natural landscape (but not always in a bad way), which is the idea I was aiming to present from the start of the project. Also I believe that the 4 photographs are all very well matched as the colours and exposures are very balanced.

Outcome 4 

For my last final outcome I have chosen this photograph of a shoreline with the sunset and two horses. Similar to my first outcome I feel like this piece presents the pure beauty of the landscape and displays my raw camera skills so therefore deserves to be one of my final outcomes. I feel that the dusk exposure of the image is very effective as it enhances all the different textures within the image such as the smooth clouds and the rough, jagged sea. The silhouette-like dark figures of the horses are the main focus of the image as the sunlight draws the viewers eye right towards them.

Outcome 5

Overall I feel that my 5 outcomes achieve what I wanted to present by the end of the landscape project as they show the harmony between Urban and Natural landscapes. Whilst taking inspiration from the photographers that I have looked at over the project. Also with this project I have been able to produce aesthetically pleasing outcomes whilst purely showing my raw camera skills without any over-creativity which I have been more inclined to explore in my previous projects.
