I noticed that the principles that he employs to his landscape images can be applied to any image process. I thoroughly enjoyed looking at his images and listening to how he progressed from the beginning to today. The painstaking care he takes to achieve the image he wants, and having the time to be patient enough to generate these images.
The composition and focal points are all unique and lead you where Joe wants you to go.
Interestingly he started his talk by showing us his first image, and then a run through his early career, starting as an assistant for several years, and then he moved on to establish his love of the landscape.
The amin pints I picked up from his talk, apart from his wonderful images, was the time he took to prepare for his photography, the time spent planning, and going to areas that perhaps the puiblic would not go to. He also became quite an accomplised climber, to get some of his images he needed to be! As for the locations he studied maps, and orientation to establish the best time to go to get the correct light, and the weather forecasts.
So for me it was the planning and preparation time that seemed essential to the quality of his images.
Hi
ReplyDeleteCan you expand this evaluation of this guest lecture as it needs to be opened out into a broader discussion and much better evaluation.
Considering that, you need to include some of his work and draw some value from it in respect to what you can add to your own work even though its not landscape photography.
