The reason why I have chosen Charlie Waite to look further into and analyse his work is because he is an English landscape photographer and my project is aspect of landscapes. He focuses on the lighting and shading in his landscapes which is something that I can develop in my own work and improve on therefore I am gaining influence through his techniques in his work. Furthermore in the majority of his work the idea of depth is shown. This is shown in a very sleek and effortless way where the angle of his camera and positioning of where he is standing is very precise. Therefore by looking at his work will allow me to see where the best angles are to make my aspect of depth in my landscapes look as affective as possible.
This photograph was taken by the photographer Charlie Waite and the use of the technique depth was shown in this photograph this is because the photographer has positioned himself to be in the left hand corner of this landscape and uses a low angle to enhance the length of the path and to exaggerate the depth of the tree's. This photograph has been edited in black and white and I feel that this is very affective this is because it allows the tones in the tree's and the path to be exaggerates and stand out. Charlie Waite focuses on the use of tones and shading in his photography therefore by him converting the photograph to black and white increases the use of tones and makes this photograph very stunning to look at. The idea of the path becoming very narrow as it converges inwards creates a message of a journey that this photograph is about to take you on. I feel that this photograph is very affective and will inspire me a lot when I come to photographing my own work.
This photograph was also taken by the photographer Charlie Waite and shows the aspect of depth in the landscape as well as the element of shadows. The colours in this photograph are very bright and vibrant which makes this photograph look very eye catchy as well as the sun being the focal point of this photograph as the lighting stands out and creates a very warming atmosphere. The aspect of depth that is shown in this landscape has been shown by the row of tree's in this photogaph that get smaller as the photograph becomes further away. this photograph also shows the repetition technique as the photographer Charlie Waite has repeated his photograph twice to create a reflection. This is very affective because it creates a more bold and dynamic photograph that creates a relaxed atmosphere to the piece. Furthermore the sky is another iconic focus to this photograph because of the intriguing shapes in the clouds and the beaming sun creating a vibrant blue that complements the technique of depth used in this landscape. This photograph is very inspiring for me as its something that I can re create in my own work and this will therefore show the connection between Charlie Waite and my aspect of landscape portfolio.
This photograph was taken by the photographer Charlie Waite and shows the aspect of depth and scale in this photograph. This is because firstly the idea of scale is to show how large the landscape is and by depth being included in this enhances the scale by photographing this at a very low angle to exaggerate the length of this landscape. This landscape is very interesting this is because it is very simple as its just showing the land and the sky. However the simplicity of it makes it look more interesting as it has no distractions to take away the beauty of the land. Furthermore the sky in this photograph is very eye catching as the deep blue tones boldly stand out. As well as the textures in the dry and wilted grass are enhanced as the closeness of it allows the roughness of it to be shown. In addition the natural colours through out the whole of the landscape standing out as the rich greens and yellows are colours that will appear in a farmers field which makes this photograph very realistic and rural.
This photograph was taken by the photographer Charlie Waite and is one of my favourite photographs that he has captured for his landscape photography. This is because firstly the tones of the photograph create a warmth that is very affective because of the deep purple and blue colours in the whole of the photograph. I feel that depth is shown extremely well in this photograph because of how long the crops are in this picture. Furthermore the idea of having one tree at the end of the depth of crops creates a metaphor of isolation and loneliness as the tree is standing on its own. I feel that this is very affective and creates a different perspective on landscape photography. In addition the sky in this photograph is very bold and the pale blue sky is in contrast with the dark and deep tones in the crops which makes this photograph very eye catching. The darkness in between the crops enhance the depth as its makes the aspect of depth in this landscapes very bold and more obvious to notice. This photograph is very inspiring for me and in my project I will develop my photographs by focusing on tones and depth as this is something that I am intrigued by and feel makes a very bold landscape photograph.
The reason why Charlie Waite influences me is because firstly he is a landscape photographer therefore his ideas are going to be from a lot of experience therefore allowing me to re create or develop these to make my work very bold as well. He also focuses a lot on depth and this is something that my aspects of landscapes portfolio will lead into therefore the angles that he has captured the depths in will allow me to see which angle is more affective. Lastly the tones and colours in his work are very eye catching and they show a contrast between light and dark which enhance the depth even more. I feel that this is very influential because it allows me to think more deeply into how I would like to present my landscapes instead of just brightening them and not showing any passion in them.
In conclusion to summarise the photographer Charlie Waite I feel that all his work has one focus and thats to enhance the beauty of the landscapes by showing depth in all of them. I feel that even though the majority of his photographs are all depth he has managed to photograph depth in all different way which allows me as a photography student to gain more ideas on how to not show the aspect of depth all the same way in every one of my photographs. I feel that Charlie Waite will be a huge influence on my work and especially during the editing stage as well where I can experiment with the different affects to gain more deeper tones and colours like he has in all of his work I have looked at.
