Editor's Notes
- Appeared in various magazines, posters, private collections. Archived works in the c enter for Creative Photography at the University of Arizona, Tucson Photos are not edited to the extreme that colours are overly exaggerated. He believes in capturing what is ‘real’ Like Ansel Adams, he has a passion for the landscape and preserving its beauty. Lens flare when the sun or lighting is prominent Shots of water and waterfalls are often taken with longer exposure Rarely see him using a shallow depth of field, he wants to focus on the overall of the landscape
- *mostly visually stunning impact His works are as if you are there in person. The shots are very natural and not edited so there’s a very realistic down to earth feeling about them Wants to emphasis the importance of the landscape
- Framing Backlighting Silhouette Cool tones throughout but the warm lighting attracts the eye Worms eye view
- Leading lines draws attention to the light source, more backlight Large depth of field.
- More cool tones but the lava’s warm orange tone is very attention seeking Texture is in focus, sharp Rule of third
- Long exposure Mainly cool tones Action, feeling the energy of the movement, water More ambient light Large depth of field, BG is not blur
- Action, fast shutter speed, lighting is from the lava itself+ambient Ignores rule of third, smack in your face, all attention on the lava exploding
