The genres I have enjoyed so
far in photography were Landscape, Documentary and Portraiture this is because they were the three which I found most inspiring. I found the photographs I took responding to these genres were my strongest. I also liked taking the pictures myself of the landscape and documentary this is because with landscape the scenery is amazing to look at and when you capture it makes you feel proud. With documentary you have to tell a story and while doing this you have to capture different images to tell the story so in my opinion this was extremely different and intriguing. The portraiture was also very interesting being able to transform peoples faces drastically just by using props and photoshop editing.
I was extremely inspired by Angelo Merendino’s work you can see all the emotion that he has put into his work, and just by looking at it, it makes you feel sad and helpless. I also thought the way in which he documented his wife’s illness was very intriguing and memorable. The shots in which he took were mainly close ups, this could represent his wife’s proximity to death. His work is different from other photographers mainly because it is very personal and shows a lot of emotions. By doing this he has let other people into his life and has show how much this illness has changed his life and destroyed him. Through out the illness he helped his wife and photographed her though good times and bad, but no one really knows how she felt although you could try and guess through her emotions it was probably 10 times worse than we imagined.

I was also inspired
by Tony Howell’s work this is because it is bright and full of life, his
pictures are like what you would see in a dream. Most of his images contain
water; this could show that he is trying to portray the natural beauty of
nature through the tranquility of the flowing water. When you look at his
images they are very calming and peaceful, showing nature in a wonderful way. His images are extremely
eye catching and because of the bright colours they draw you into the image and
force you to look at them for longer.
I researched into different types of portraiture and I think the one that I thought was the most interesting was the fashion photography it's the one which draws me in the most and the one which gets my attention. A fashion photographer which I found the most different and unique was Terry Richardson this is because his images are not the same as others. His work is more individual and you can tell just by looking at it. I think fashion photography can show peoples personalities and can also bring out confidence in people. It is extremely creative and is very unique in different ways. I will incorporate the fashion photography into my landscape pictures by adding people into my panoramas. Or even taking pictures of fashion photography whilst having landscape images in the background.

For the weird and
wonderful project I intend to do landscape this is because in my opinion landscape photography is beautiful to look at and does restrict you on what you have to take pictures of. Also it is about nature and your surroundings and I have many ideas in which I could use to do my landscape photography.
