Initial Research

This Image is taken by Ann Shelton, who is recognised as one of New Zealand's leading photographic artists. In 2010 she was the overall winner of the CoCA Anthony Harper Contemporary Art Award. Shelton lectures in Fine Art and Photography at Massey University in Wellington. This image was taken in South Taranaki in 2004. I liked this image because of the natural symmetry going on of trees and then a sudden curve of the road gives interesting focus to image. Moreover the branches of trees along side of the road covering as shed on road, quites give a arch kind of shape naturally. Inspired by this image I try taking similar images in my project.

This image is taken by Michael Kenna, is an English photographer and best known for his black and white landscapes. His main focus is on unusual landscapes with ethereal light achieved by photographing at dawn or night. His this image is known as 'Reflected Tree' taken in Hongkun, Anhui, China in  2007. This image seems really interesting to me because of such a calm reflection of tree in the water and if you see the from the right 90 degree angle it looks like one huge tree. As my space is pond as well and I am also taking images with trees in the pond as well.
