Tony Hertz: shoot three

For my inspiration oft his sea and cave shoots I decide I would go to portlet as this is where many rocky surfaces are present,I wanted to focus on the form and structure to the pieces and additionally the water and strength and action water can produce.I wanted to capture both the water aspect and then the more rural textured surfaces of the rocks and coves within the sea bed wall. Once again I chose Tony hertz due to the way in which he demonstrates emotion and beauty through the action of nature and does this in order to have a creatively different outcome symbolising a different tone to the image itself. I additionally wanted to focus on his themes so using textures and tonal features and changing the editing and also the camera settings to create different overall feelings to each location within the beach itself.

This is my favourite image,I like how there are many different textures exposed through the rock formation and how tonally from the centre the piece it gets lighter. Additionally the angle I have taken means that you see the rounded continuing wall throughout the left side of the image.Additionally this focuses on the conventions of beauty and the beauty nature holds and how it can be seen as more than just a powerful source over humans. conceptually this image symbolises a convention for feeling abandoned and a lack of life, this is an expression of human behaviour seen through the natural development of nature. 

Here I wanted to capture an angle to present how large the wall is and again a romanticism and power to the image that nature holds, it presents the massive presence that nature holds over humans and also the unpredictability of behaviour seen through the masked tonal range. The pushed back tones additional symbolises a lack of safety and a possible code of unpredictability that the nature is about to change and a fear as a reaction to the scenarios isolated feel. 

Here I wanted to capture the way in which the water has movement and power and again how the low angle enables the shoot curve and illusion of a continuing shore line.This image was taken in quick shutter speed to capture the life and movement of the water much like the artists himself .

 overall analysis:

Overall I do not think I will continue to concentrate on the behaviour and power nature has over people and will revert back to human behaviours, attitudes and traits.Although like my first water shoot I could combine water and nature once again.The more rural images without water were more effective as they presented more interesting textures and showed more force and size to the image as the water was not presenting an aggressive behaviour.
