Theme or focus of images

The photographer Steen Doessing shoots fascinating fine art landscape photos as like the 5 photos I found most interesting from his range. My favourite in particular is the bottom landscape picture of the trees and the light gazing through the clouds I like how he uses most common objects look so surreal and interesting to look at. The photos above seem like they are taken so simply but to get the perfect photo it takes time and consistency so I think he waited for the perfect point in time for the clouds to break and let the light crack across the field. The chosen photographer Steen Doessing is French so I think that the pictures are taken somewhere in the France region possibly. I don’t know exactly the date or time for these pictures but by the looks of the weather my guesses would be around the autumn to spring time of year but I’m not sure as it’s hard because there shot in black and white.

Composition

I think the photographer chose to have certain objects in the picture weather it was in the distance or straight up front on the picture. On one photo in particular I think maybe the photographer had zoomed in to block out any unnecessary light, people or objects that could potentially effecting the outcome of the image. For the bottom one I think the photographer has zoomed into the certain trees he wanted in the shot to exclude any other trees or any other objects killing the shot. On one photo the photographer has stood directly mid centre when taking the photo which looks good because both sides of the pier look completely I identical making it seem like a reflection.

Techniques used

Think shutter speeds, rule of thirds & depth of field

The selected photos have all been taken or edited into black and white so it’s hard to see how bright the environment was when taking that photo. On this photo I think there was already a lot of light coming through into the photo as you can see the sunlight breaking through the clouds so the shutter speed wouldn’t have had to be on for that long because there is already enough natural light coming into the picture. Considering the ISO used in the photo it looks like it was taken using a high ISO because the picture looks so bright but I think the photographer adjusted the ISO to make the picture look not to over expose but just right to keep the black and white balanced. He uses depth of field a lot in his pictures for example the photo taken on the beach with light house has been taken from an angle pin pointing those two objects being the main desire of the

photograph. By doing this he’s took it using a high depth of field to blur out the background which isn’t much wanted to create the objects to stand out and show that’s what the photo is focusing most on.

Strengths & Weaknesses

What you do and don't like and how it can influence your work

What I like about the photographs is that although they are all black and what and not much use of interesting colours but still stands out and is eye catching. I think this photographer and his photos can influence my work by inspiring me to shoot some ordinary objects but by using the technology and skills to affect them making them look better than what they seem in person. But what I don’t like is the black and white I think just a little colour would really bring the photo together and make it stand out.
