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.

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.

At this point I knew i had the majority of my final images, and i knew what specific shoots i had yet to do to fill in the gaps, so i decided to try and experiment with organisation and building my narrative through the images. Drawing from the work of Katrien de Blauwer, who uses images with similar forms/structure to pair together, I chose to go through all my images and match up those with similar lines or shapes. Obviously not all matched up perfectly, so I also used their colour scheme and how they fit with my project idea (winter->summer). In the end I only had a few images left, and I worked out what sort of images i needed to resolve the problem. I also chose to keep some images solo in the photobook if i felt they just worked best that way.

The images below are sorted into a rough order of what i expect them to be in the photobook, but i know that i’ll probably change this around and switch it up as i add the final images, so for now it’s only a placeholder. They start off with the “winter” photos, and progress through to summer.

Some of the images above that still need pairing won’t be used in the final book if they just don’t work, but some could also be individual images.
