I particularly like the photographs taken by Fay Godwin, as they are in black and white. This gives them a vintage feel and also a sense of mystery. Some of the photographs taken she has been able to catch the light perfectly so that rays of sun are beaming down in a forest. This to be seems magical and could be a setting to a story, it would also seem that these photos were not taken by chance and that she has waited for just the right moment.
Henri cartier-bresson
Bresson creates interesting photographs of different places at different times however, they all have the same feel to them and each of them contain people. I particularly like these two images as there is the use of structure, each in a different way. They are both images of staircases but one is jagged whereas the other is seeming to be perfectly rounded, spiralling upwards.
Steven Klein
One of my favourite photographers is Steven Klein. His work to me seems to draw the eye better than an old fashioned photograph. He has taken pictures of famous celebrities that would in their normal lives would be idolised and seen as beautiful, but in his photographs seem to have an outrageous twist.
Ansel Adams
Similar to fay Godwin, Ansel Adams takes black and white photographs that have a magical element to them. He takes into account all the details around him and incorporates them into his work, making a beautiful delicate picture.
Sara Moon
Sara Moon often creates photographs that are slightly distorted, out of focus or have black smudges on them. I like these effects as I think they add something different to her work. There is something elegant yet scary about her pictures, like something you would have seen in the olden days hanging on the wall. She tends to use vintage colours with a more sepia effect on some of them to make them look old fashioned.
