Info/Background:

Raised on the Channel Island of Jersey, London-based artist Alexander Mourant (b. 1994, UK) is
drawn to the friction between interior and exterior worlds, as well as photography’s power to
represent existential ideas. For his recent Aomori series, Mourant captured the blue depths of Japan’s
ancestral forests with a lens filter developed specifically for the project.

An Example of his work, Blue Photography:

• In this photo You can see moss covering rocks and ground on the left hand side and on the other side there is rocks and banks and trees to do this photo he would of used natural lighting, the light is coming from the bottom left hand corner.
• To get the colour blue he has taken a piece of blue glass  from a church window and had it specially cut to fit the lens of his camera. this meant that all the pictures he took were blue.
• Mourant has captured the moss on the left hand side and has made it look like water is coming down the banks, when i first saw this picture I first of all thought it was water however when I looked closer I realized it wasn’t.
• The trees on the right hand side has been made abstract as the lines from the branches are filled and the leaves look like they are block.
• The lighting is coming from the left hand corner, the light is catching the moss and making it white as if it has been over exposed

This is my example responding to Alexander Mourant work, Instead of using glass over the lens, I changed the white balance setting in the camera, I liked this setting as the photo was green however When I changed the white balance It went to this light blue. The light Is coming from the Left top right corner catching the branch in the middle,
