Target Audience

Target Audience-

My Target Audience will be for people who like landscape and nature photography and for also people who enjoy the countryside. If i was too see my images around places i would probably see them in a country magazine and around little shops in the countryside.

Shoot Planning

Planning-
I plan too take my images in the Yorkshire dales in a place called Hawes. i plan too shoot at about 9am until about 12pm. i will be taking pictures of landscapes but i would like to get animals into my images aswell because of how it shows the aspect of countryside life. I will be shooting on Digital and Film because i want too compare the two different styles and too see how the contrasts turn out in them both too see which one looks better.

things i will need.

Shoot1




This is my Final shoot, i took this images in hawes in the yorkshire dales,  from the start until the white block i liked this images because of how i got to experiment with shutter speeds at night time. i think that if i wasnt as cold as if was i would have taken some more images. the next set of images i like because of how they meet my planning with getting landscape and animals into the same criteria. i think that if it wasnt such a dull day i could have got some better images but i am happy with how some of these turned out.

Sun shoot

This was my first shoot about how the sun changes the contrast of a picture.

Mood Boards and research

Landscape
 Landscape photography shows spaces within the world, sometimes vast and unending, but other times microscopic. Landscape photographs typically capture the presence of nature but can also focus on man-made features or disturbances of landscapes.                   

                                                                   Sport
 Sports photography refers to the genre of photography that covers all types of sports.In the majority of cases, professional sports photography is a branch of photojournalism, while amateur sports photography, such as photos of children playing association football, is a branch of vernacular photography.The main application of professional sports photography is for editorial purposes; dedicated sports photographers usually work for newspapers, major wire agencies or dedicated sports magazines. However, sports photography is also used for advertising purposes both to build a brand and as well as to promote a sport in a way that cannot be accomplished by editorial means.     
   
  1. Nature- Nature photography refers to a wide range of photography taken outdoors and devoted to displaying natural elements such as landscapes, wildlife, plants, and close-ups of natural scenes and textures.






Fashion- Fashion photography is a genre of photography devoted to displaying clothing and other fashion items. Fashion photography is most often conducted for advertisements or fashion magazines such as Vogue, Vanity Fair, or Elle. Over time, fashion photography has developed its own aesthetic in which the clothes and fashions are enhanced by the presence of exotic locations or accessories.

Photographer

Charlie Waite is firmly established as one of the world’s leading Landscape photographers. His photographic style is often considered to be unique, in that his photographs convey an almost spiritual quality of serenity and calm. Charlie's photographs are held in private and corporate collections throughout the world, and he has held numerous solo exhibitions at prestigious venues in the UK, Japan and the USA



Peter Watson is an English landscape photographer whose career started in his teenage years when he photographed and produced his own black & white prints in an improvised darkroom. They were sold in a local gallery and this early success encouraged him to pursue a career as a photographer. He studied art and graphic design and in 1993 obtained a diploma in photography from the New York Institute of Photography. 




Proposal

Proposal
The Genre of photography I chose to do was landscape. I chose landscape because you can do a lot of different things with it such as take pictures of different times of the day.

The photographers that inspired me were Charlie Waite and Peter Watson

Charlie Waite is firmly established as one of the world’s leading Landscape photographers. His photographic style is often considered to be unique, in that his photographs convey an almost spiritual quality of serenity and calm. Charlie's photographs are held in private and corporate collections throughout the world, and he has held numerous solo exhibitions at prestigious venues in the UK, Japan and the USA. I like Charlie Waite’s photography because he mainly shoots in black and white using slow shutter speeds to create very atmospheric images.

Peter Watson is an English landscape photographer whose career started in his teenage years when he photographed and produced his own black & white prints in an improvised darkroom. They were sold in a local gallery and this early success encouraged him to pursue a career as a photographer. He studied art and graphic design and in 1993 obtained a diploma in photography from the New York Institute of Photography. I like Peter Watson’s photography because he shoots just after sunrise rather than mid-day, sunset and night time.

My plan is too take pictures at different times of the day and to also capture some animals in the shots as well because where I am planning to take my images there will be animals. I plan to shoot on Colour Film and Digital because I want to see the difference between the two but mainly I like to shoot on film because of how you can see the grain in the image when you process it in the dark room.

My location for my shoot is Hawes in the Yorkshire Dales because it’s a place I have never been and it looks really nice to photograph for location. I will also be shooting closer to home in Bradford city centre which should act as a contrast to the rural scenes.


At the end of this project I am hoping to have about 8 images that are going to be my final images. I will have some black and white dark room images and some digital images.
