A few of the images that I want to include in my Photobook are old Archive images that I have taken over the years, My reasoning behind using these images is because I feel like my use of images in nature would be very restricted due to living in Jersey CI. This is because, even though we do have wildlife I feel that a lot of my images would be very repetitive due to us having a limed range of wildlife in this small island. So I am planning on using images from some of my previous travels outside jersey to really incorporate the beauty of nature around the world. Some of these images would of been taken in Spain, Canada and Mexico which would give my photobook a wider range of the uniqueness of nature in different continents around the world rather than being restricted to a small 9 by 5 mile island. I am using these images from inspiration by Marsel van due to his research into wildlife and the images that he has taken while traveling.
I edited all of these images with the increase of vibrance, shadows and dehaze to really elaborate on the beauty of nature. Due to my Previous images of technology being dystopian I wanted to make my landscape images of nature more appealing in the photobook so that the viewer automatically gets drawn to them.
Final edited Images
I edited all of these images with the increase of vibrance, shadows and dehaze to really elaborate on the beauty of nature. Due to my Previous images of technology being dystopian I wanted to make my landscape images of nature more appealing in the photobook so that the viewer automatically gets drawn to them hence the seeking nature part in my Ideas.
Image comparison with Marsel Van
The image that I made on the left represents the Image on the right of Marsal Vans work. There are multiple similarities between our two pieces such as our vocal points being a tree with the sunset in the background. Though there are also differences such as How Marsal vans image is a lot warmer in tone than mine due to the orange and yellow shades that cover his picture where as My image is a lot cooler surrounded with blue shades from the sky and sea. At first glance the two images look as they have no relation but in further inspection the similarities are evident though they tell two different stories.
Conclusion
In conclusion I am very happy with how these images turned out with my editing on Lightroom as I feel that really capture the eye and shows the beauty of nature around the world. I am also happy and confident with my Idea of using these archive images as due to the bead weather in Jersey Ci I am struggling to get some really captivating and vibrant shots so I am glad that I am not restricted. Though I may not use all of these images in my final book I am happy with the selection.
