Research

I've chosen a few photographers that I really like who produce images to show things like pollution etc in photography.

Andy Hughes - Andy's photographic work explores the politics of waste. In 2013 he travelled to Alaska - which is pretty amazing - he was invited as part of an international team of artists and scientists to work on a project called 'Gyre: The plastic ocean' This project was a unique project as it explored the science and art of the issue of plastic and human waste in marine and coastal environment. As you can see, I have taken a few of his images off of his website that I really love. There is a couple from the Alaska project and a few others he has done. I really like his work, its very simple and minimal which I like.

 

 

Trevor Ashby - Trevor originally started out as a painter and travelled over India over forty years ago without a camera. He stayed there for two years and constantly framed images in his mind and when he travelled back to England bough himself and SLR and that's when his passion for photography started. Initially had had an interest in surrealism however later on he became fascinated with old medium format and plate cameras, which led him to increasingly work on the context or rural and coastal areas. He spent 14 month photographing the Eden project, recording the pattern and structure of plant forms in there. I find his work quite intriguing and unique, which is why I like it, I like it a lot. Here are a few of his images on his website.

Chris Burkard - He is a self taught photographer and artist who is based in central coast California. His work is all about surfing, lifestyle and travel. His images are of landscapes and 'moments of bliss' by adventure seeking. He also makes films, which I have linked below. His work is just beautiful, the saturation in this images are just incredible and I love them.
