Eliot Porter-
Eliot Porter was the first photographer i researched and i was really inspired by how he captured the beauty of nature with such bright, vibrant colours that still felt natural and true to the original scene. It inspired me to work in colour for this photobook project, as I usually tend to switch to black and white for my still images. I was particularly taken by the far left of his images below, and i recreated it with a little series of three images below depicting the changing seasons.

Robbie Lawrence-
I was inspired by his use of softer light and dark green colours that i tried to bring into my own work. I was particularly interested in the far right image below and the way the reflections appeared through the window, which I attempted to recreate in the last of my images just below. Overall i do like Robbie Lawrence’s work a lot, but i was more inspired by the narrative of the specific project i researched than his general style.

MY WORK-
Katrien de Blauwer-
What i took from looking at Katrien de Blauwer’s work was her way of connecting images together through their similar visual form. I decided against using her style of chopping images up and joining them up as one singular image, but I am going to take inspiration from her work when sequencing and pairing images together in the photobook itself.
