Landscape photography: Capturing large scale photos of ‘beautiful’ areas of nature such as mountains, rivers, sea-scapes. Can also be focused on man made areas or disturbed landscapes but the main interest is in the sublime especially for romanticism.
These are a mix of photos by Ansel Adams, Fay Godwin and Don McCullin. These photographers are renowned for their outstanding landscape photography.
Romanticism
Romanticism is a mindset not a movement that became popular in the 1800’s. The artists, photographers and musicians all had the same objective of conveying emotion in their work and provoking emotional responses in the audience. They focus on Nature being more powerful than man and the powers of the sublime.
