Looking at my Medium Format Film and 35 mm Film.

Looking at Photography That Inspired My Shoot on 35 mm.


LANDSCAPES

The image above was taken by Josef Koudelka. I assume it was taken on medium format. I really like the composition of the tree within the image, the photographer has left a lot of space around the tree which is quite suggestive of isolation and loneliness. I aim to create something quite similar in my final images, however instead of using medium format I will use chromogenic 35 mm film.

Arnaud Lajunie

The photograph above is from a series called 'Rise' by Arnaud Lajeunie. I was immidietly drawn to the series, I found the images quite arresting as well as inspirational in regards to my final idea. The photographer has also had the idea of having two images merged together and much like mine he has included portraits within natural landscapes. For this series of images Lajeunie was exploring the lines of a female body and manipulating them with other images. There is an eery feel to these images, I feel like theres an underlying narrative that runs through the images, possibly exploring feminity and the relation between women and nature. I have really found this photographer helpful when developing my ideas further.
