(Oxbow Archive — Joel Sternfeld, n.d.) The photo series begins with the above quote. Although the images are taken in America, they could very easily be my local area. The images show various seasons and the changes that occur. They depict natural wilder areas alongside traces of human activity in the farmed fields, camp fire …
Richard Misrach
(Richard Misrach's Ominous Beach Photographs, n.d.) Misrach's images were taken on the back of a terror attack in Washington where Misrach was concerned for his son who was nearby. He took the images from the balcony of his hotel. On one hand, the viewer sees simply people enjoying the seaside but there is an ominous …
Jem Southam
(Jem Southam | Biography & Art Works | Huxley-Parlour Gallery, n.d.) Viewing Southam's images, they seem so familiar, just like the work I did for my assignment three. (Which is of course is why my tutor recommended it). Southam is also from the West-Country (like me). He is a widely renowned landscape photographer who documents …
