My replicas of his style.
I think that they replicate his style well as they
are simple, and they are close ups of the flowers
and are done in black and white so it shows all
the detail well.

2. This photo shows a simple image of a
flower, its kind of a close up of the
flower, its in black and white as to
bring more of a simple effect I think. I
think this image is about the simplicity
of the world, and that there are
beauties in our world that perhaps we
don't appreciate unless we see it in a
photograph. Also I think maybe it
might mean that he’s trying to show
that simple thinks can have as much of
an effect as complex photos. This
photo would have been quite simple to
take, perhaps he might of used
Photoshop to edit it, but I think this was probably done all by him, by just taking the photo. I think
looking at this photo makes you feel relaxed as it’s quite calming with the fact that its black and
white and that there isn't anything to really think about, it’s very simple to see what the photo is all
about.
Definitely going to continue exploring in his
style as I think that it has real potential as there
are many things that could be done with this. As
there are many different types of flowers, also I
could experiment with putting things in the
background to bring more of a depth to the
photo.
