Landscape Photographers

 

Chris Burkard

1. This photograph depicts a road cutting through an open field. This field has flowers that decorate it, along with a rising sun coming in from the background.

2. I really like the stillness the picture provides me. It is very calming, and reminds me of a long road trip coming to an end.

3. The leading lines in this image make it feel like it could go on forever. Although not necessarily symmetrical, both sides have a lot unity and tell similar stories.

4. That he has won Red Bull awards for his photographs.

Sebastian Salgado

1. The photo shows a mountain top, probably a volcano, focusing on the close wild life with a body of water in the background.

2. I like the eeriness this photo brings. The intensity of the blacks along with the grain of the photo gives it more of a eeriness than a colored photo could.

3. The depth of field focusing on the plants, with the body of water just in the background, with the moving clouds.

4. He studied economics before pursuing his passion in photography.

Takehito Miyatake

1. Trails of fireflies on the background of the darkened tree line, with the night sky heading over it.

2. I really like the chaotic nature of this photograph, just capturing the movement of the fireflies and their seemingly meaningless movement.

3. Recognizable shapes gives this image more of where it is located, an old forest. The added variety of the fireflies give an extra touch to the photo that only the dark trees wouldn't really mean anything.

4. Working for a optics company led him to testing out lenses for photography.
