After my first tutorial and some more thought on what I
could realistically focus on, I have decided to begin with Landscapes. The
other two subjects I previously took an interest to were so open and broad I didn't know where to begin and knew I would struggle the place identity relationship
theories and others linked.
I am still really interested in this subject but I
think I can happily begin with Landscapes as a starting point and progress my
knowledge further with it.
Last semester John Blakemore gave us a lecture about his
life as a photographer and the work he has made along the way. He went in depth
into one of his first projects in Wales where he shot the landscape of this
specific location (will go more in depth in next post) and I then responded to
this lecture and I too photographed in Wales.
My boyfriend lives in
the Valley’s in a town called Abertillery, and every time I stay there just me
and Sean take the dog for a walk in the forest up the mountain at the top of his
street. I had never photographed the landscape there before because I saw it as
an escape and just me and Sean time, although I know some photographers would
be shocked by this.
My images became very personal to me so I really was proud
of them, but will look into this more weather this can change our views on
landscape photography, and different reasons in taking landscape images and the
power behind that.
