• What does Landscape mean? A landscape is the visible features of an area of land, its landforms, and how they integrate with natural or human-made features, often considered in terms of their aesthetic appeal.

• When did landscape emerge as a genre in western culture? ​ After the fall of the Roman Empire, the tradition of depicting pure landscapes declined, and the landscape was seen only as a setting for religious and figural scenes. This tradition continued until the 16th century when artists began to view the landscape as a subject in its own right.

• When did classical landscapes emerge as a genre?​ In the 17th century the classical landscape was born. These landscapes were influenced by classical antiquity and sought to illustrate an ideal landscape recalling Arcadia, a legendary place in ancient Greece known for its quiet pastoral beauty.

• What prompted the rise of Landscape Art during the late 18th / 19th century?​ religious painting declined throughout the rest of Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries. That fact, combined with a new Romanticism — which emphasized emotion, individualism, and the glorification of nature — promoted landscapes to the well-loved place in art which they continue to hold today

• When did landscape photography originate? According to records, the earliest known evidence of a landscape photograph was taken between the years of 1826 and 1827. It was an urban landscape photo taken by a French inventor by the name of Nicephore Niepce.

Photoshoot 1:

These are some of my photos before and after editing

I have used Lightroom to edit all of these photos from this project. Below I have shown some screenshots of what type of filters/edits i have used to accomplish these photos. My photos were taken from sunrise to sunset to show some good lighting. I used different shutter speeds and exposure to be able to get different effects in the photos. However some of the photos that have been taken at sunrise I made the exposure too low therefore not letting enough light in. This is why I have edited the photos so your able to see more of the surroundings of the photos. For most of the photos I moved to different places of the coast to get different angles and perspectives. For the sunset photos I went down to Gorey and St Catherine’s and for the sunset photos I went to Gronez and St Ouens. Next time I would bring a tripod to be able to take photos with longer shutter speed

This is my contact sheet, overall i have taken 201 photos for this photoshoot.
