Rural Landscape Photography

Fay Godwin

Rural landscape photography takes more focus on natural land, affected by humans, but in the less densely-populated areas, such as farmland or the countryside. Photographers such as Fay Godwin created pieces that capture a small piece of the sublime with humanity’s small additions to the natural landscape in these areas, like farmland, fenced-off pastures and meadows.

This works well with the concept of the new topographics, as it combines elements of nature with man-made structures – while still showing humanity’s impact on the natural world.

I could try to take a similar photoshoot, travelling to the more rural areas of the island, and taking photographs of farmland and fields to create a dramatic composition.
