Landscape Photographers in Depth

 

Sebastiao Salgado

The image is about a soldier of some sort. One thing that I like about this image is how it captures the hidden stress and emotions that occur before a battle. One element of art used in the image is color, or the lack of it, and one principle of design used is contrast. One interesting thing that I learned about the photographer was that he was born in 1944, which goes to show just how relevant photography can stay over a long time.

Kwasi Boyd-Bouldin

The image is about living in a transresidential environment. I like how familiar the image feels, and it is the most relatable of the three I chose. One element of art used in the image is form, and one principle of design used is harmony. One interesting thing that I learned about the photographer was that Kwasi was the lead photographer for the Netflix series "City of Ghosts".

Caroline Foster

The image is about the magnetic pull that mountains have on explorers. I like this image because the person in the middle isn't the main focus of the photo, but rather emphasizes the mountain and trees. One element of art used in the image is space, and one principle of design used is emphasis. One interesting thing that I learned about the photographer was that she has worked with many large clients, including Google.
