Laurence Winram
Winram’s combination of photography and graphical editing via double exposure is what I had invisioned when choosing the topic of ‘Land Use’. Winram’s black and white layer emphasises the contrast between the depths of each image, making the image clearer and exceedingly deeper with each layer. Having a model be the basis of the image is what I found most appealing in his work as the concept of the human body and models is what I like to base my creative work on. The land used in his photographs are very concentrated on the foliage of bushes and the tops of trees to produce an almost dissolved effect as the branch gets increasingly smaller as it reaches the end, creating a wider image.
Andreas lie
'Lie’s images reflect a deep appreciation for nature and the wildlife that inhabits the wilderness near his home. He is fortunate to live in a place surrounded by majestic mountains and wild spaces, which are undoubtedly an inexhaustible source of inspiration for him in his work. His unique images typically feature a single animal, set in sharp contrast to the negative space that surrounds it, and filled with images of their natural habitats. Contained within the stark shape of the animal you’ll find forest scenes, mountains, water, and other scenic vistas that are then blended seamlessly with the texture of the animal’s fur or feathers, as the case may be.'
Lie's work, similar to Winram, combines the medium of photography and graphical editing via double exposure technique. However, instead of human models, Lie incorporates animals into his pieces; creating a more undomesticated and wild aesthetic. In addition, the use of colour is prominent in Lie's work, contrasting with Winram's monochrome arrangement. Lie seems to use less vivid colours; he works with a more washed colour palette.
