Brendan Austin is a photographer who explores the illusion of how paper can be manipulated to represent nature.
His photos often consist of scrunched paper placed that replicate the look of mountains
This inspired me to attempt to re create this illusion.
ISO Sensitivity is a standard set by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that represents sensitivity to light as a numerical value. A higher number indicates a higher sensitivity and a greater ability to capture light. The ISO Sensitivity is set and changed in the shooting settings menu.
Shutter Speed is also a useful tool when it comes to ISO as using a longer shutter speed to allow for more light to enter the camera allowing for the subject to be properly lit without noise or grain in the photo. However this does lead to movement blur
This is demonstrated here in this photo , as there was less light in the area and therefore a lower ISO was used in order to allow for the subjects to be seen clearer , this led to noise and grain in the image that’s more noticeable when zoomed in.
Demonstrated here is another example of using shutter speed as a replacement for ISO to reduce noise and allow exposure in the photo.
These were my raw images which i then decided to edit in Lightroom
The aperture is the opening in the lens that allows light to enter the camera and onto the sensor or film. The size of this opening can be adjusted by changing the aperture settings. Take a look at the picture of a lens aperture above. Notice the adjustable blades that can move to adjust the size of the opening.
This is depicted here , the foreground and background is in focus although the focus is clearly on the subject.
f/29 , ISO 250 1/60 seconds which explains how the photo is all in focus.
Ralph Eugene was living as an optician whilst simultaneously creating images that surrounded themes of children , masks , movement and dolls giving his photos an eerie feeling
“Creative pictures must be felt in a similar way as one listens to music, emotionally, without expecting a story, information or facts.”

To take inspiration from Eugene I decided to edit one of my aperture photos to reflect the style of his photos.
This image inspired me as i was drawn to the use of light to create a silhouette so i decided to incorporate them into my work.
I then converted the image to be black and white following the theme of Ralph Eugenes images
Famous for his use of water , light and colour to create inticing and eye catching imagery
Ernst Haas (March 2, 1921 – September 12, 1986) was an Austrian-American photojournalistand color photographer. During his 40-year career Haas trod the line between photojournalism and art photography. In addition to his coverage of events around the globe after World War II Haas was an early innovator in color photography. His images were carried by magazines like Life and Vogue and, in 1962, were the subject of the first single-artist exhibition of color photography at New York’s Museum of Modern Art. He served as president of the cooperative Magnum Photos. His book of volcano photographs, The Creation (1971), remains one of the most successful photography books ever published, selling more than 350,000 copies.[1]
Ernst Haas pioneered the use of color photography at a time when it was considered inferior to black-and-white as a medium for serious creative photographers.
controls the amount of light that enters through iris in the lens and is measured in f/stop , you can adjust this by changing said f/stops.
Depth of field is defined as what is in focus in front and behind the subject , shallow depth in field has limited things in focus often with a blurred background this requires f/stop of f/2 or f/4. Depth of field is defined by aperture the higher the number the more in focus an example of this would be f/16 or f/22.
As seen here the high aperture is f/2.8 meaning the depth of field in lower keeping less in focus
