• Ansel Adams

As I have already covered where the links are between them and myself, I will keep this brief.

Here, on the left there is one of Ansel Adams’ interpretations of the Yosemite National Wildlife Park. It displays a large tree dubbed “Cathedral Spires” as the centerpiece of the photograph. Surrounding the tree is some grassland with some more woodland in the tree’s immediate vicinity. The tree’s backdrop features a seemingly near-vertical cliff face, however we are not informed of its height. On the right is my own image taken from my first photoshoot. My centerpiece was the ‘wing monument’ found on the waterfront of Elizabeth Marina, between Castle Quay’s Medical Practice and Wellness Centre buildings, both visible in the photograph. This matches well as the two subjects have a very similar skeletal structure.

On the left here is Gabriele Basilico’s image of a ruined structure from his Beirut collection/exhibition of “Architecture and the City”. The images from this exhibition were captured after a fifteen year war, where most buildings were either damaged or destroyed. The buildings are visibly battered and unsafe, however there are cars parked right outside. Comparing this building to the second visible in the photo, we can see how some were affected more than others. My image contains the only remaining structures of Grosnez Castle, a medieval fortress built on the very top left hand corner of the island, close to Les Landes Racecourse. As there are no surrounding buildings or roads, I couldn’t replicate Basilico’s image exactly. However I still think the two are similar.

I believe that I have provided a clear and informative relation between my artists and myself. I have achieved this by keeping their work in mind and taken considerable care with how I have composed my images. This is proven by the similarities seen in the images provided. Image composure and subject positioning/structure is very important when attempting to replicate something such as an image. This is why I was very cautious of how I approached my photoshoots.
