Guy Tal
Guy Tal, a man who along with being a photographer he is an artist, author,
educator and public speaker. For his photography, instead of using a type of SLR
or DSLR he uses a medium format camera, due to the fact he can get a smaller
aperture, capturing great photos. Guy Tal isn’t like most photographers, instead
of taking a photo from how amazing the scene laid out in front may seem, he
takes photos as a way to express him self with the landscape. Ever since he was a
teenager Guy has been interested in photography, taking photographs of ever
kind of natural subject, now leading to his job where he takes remarkable photos
of different part of the world.
Things within the image
 The photo is of part of the
outside of a forest
 Golden shade of lighting
 Black back ground brining
the golden trees more forward
This photo must have been taken
at an exact point in the day, when
the sun was at a perfect angle for
the light to project through the
forest giving it that golden colour
when the photo was taken. The light adds an effect so the back of the image is
darker as the forest gets deeper; if the sun was at something as like mid-day then
the image wouldn’t be as crisp as it is.
This photo was
taken at just the
right time of when
the sun was rising
or setting, giving
the nice dark
shadow effect over
the normally plain
hill of grass. The
sun flare in the top
adds a nice effect
to the landscape.
This photo doesn’t
just focus on the
grass hill itself, it also slightly attracts to the background scenery of the back
hills, the wavy patterns of them, and how they bend around the sun flare really
brings the scenery together.

Luc Cartier-Bresson
Luc Cartier-Bresson is a French photographer born in 1908. Before he started his
carrier in photography he went to the University of Cambridge and studies
English, art and literature. After becoming bilingual he was stationed Le Bourget
near Paris in 1930, after finishing his duty, he decided to change from paining to
photography in 1931 after being inspired by photojournalist Martin Munkacas. A
year later in 1932 his photography was exhibited in the Julien Levy Gallery in
New York
This first photograph is one of his most popular photos, taken from a high angled
perspective the photo works well as it has a lot to add, it has the leading lines
going from one side of the image to the other, the bike to add interest to the
photo, the winding stairs he’s standing upon and the cobbled road/house. All of
these small details bring the photo together and keeps all the interest within the
photo.
In this second photo, the photographer instead of going into the trees and getting
a more forward leading line, he has gone and taken the photo a good distance
away so now you can see the line leading away and to the left of the photo. The
black and white filter on the photo suits it well compared to have it being in
colour. The horizon line in the photo is quite low, the way instead of having it in
the middle; the photographer can have the whole trees and show off their
symmetry.

Henry Fox-Talbot
Henry Fox-Talbot born in 1800 was a British inverter and photography pioneer,
who invented the Calotype process, which involved having photo printed on
paper sensitized with silver chloride. However a lot of patent problems when it
came to the process he was so famous for, meaning not a lot of people could use
his “world changing” process due to it costing to much.
In this first photo Talbot worked well the technology he had at his disposal, using
the light effectively and capturing a nice image of the side of a building with the
shrubbery growing all over it. Looking closer you can see there’s a person sitting
on the side of the wall work, it seems like a nurse so it could be a hospital or a
asylum. The photo shows off the construction of humans mixed with nature
forming together.
This second photo is simple but still nice to look at, with a tree photographed in
dead centre of the photo, the horizon line is very low in the photo, and however
because the whole tree is captured in the photo it works. The sky takes over
most of the image but it is in circumstances like this where it works effectively
and captures the whole photo quite well.
