Natural Photographers:
Damon Clarke:
Damon Clarke is a Macro photographer and designer.
His work is on display in private and corporate collections throughout North America, Europe, and Australia.
Damon has some beautiful shots which include: bugs, flowers forest, and mushroom.
Like Emily, his work has been separated in a band which makes it more effective and less time consuming. Damon has some very beautiful and stunning shots; he is truly great in his art of macro photography.
Emily Chapman:
Emily is a graduate photographer from Staffordshire University
Emily’s work is into different bands for example: Urban Environment, Behind the Waterfall, Burslem Graveyard, Empty Spaces and Night and Misc...
I do like her work it is very effortless and the way in which her work is produced is great, but I like her Graveyard work a lot more. I think they add a certain depth, look brilliant and are sharp.
Luca Pierro:
Luca Pierro was born in Cantu, Italy in 1978
At the age of thirteen, Luca got his first camera which happened to be a Polaroid, greatness at its best.
At the age of sixteen, he tested some experiments in a darkroom.
Then at the age of nineteen he moved to Rome to undertake University.
In 2009, he won the second prize in the photography competition held by Ichnusa on Sardina, which was a portraiture competition.
In 2010, he won his first prize at MostraMi in Milan; he currently works and lives in Cagliari.
I personally, love Luca’s work. Luca has used natural elements for his self-portraits, for example he has used: flour, milk, water, clay, and many more.
David Bailey:
David Bailey is regarded as one of the best British photographers,
Although Bailey is more renowned for his amazing portraiture work, he has also done some naturalistic photography. On his website www.david-bailey.co.uk, under the header: Colour work there is only four, very striking images of flowers. These shots are very powerful and are intriguing.
The book which I have looked through by Bailey is: ‘If we Shadows’. I thoroughly enjoyed looking through this book as, yes, most of the images were portraiture based in this particular book, I have seen the use of environments linked into it.
I have seen a brilliant quote from which someone has said about Bailey’s work: ‘Sometimes tender and witty, often violent and disturbing, David Bailey’s photographs have lost neither their power to arouse and to shock, nor the aesthetic appeal which they linger in the mind.’
In this collection of Bailey’s classic work from the 1980’s, Bailey abstains from any comment or explanation. If there is comment, it arises from the photographer’s wickedly funny or coldly horrifying juxtapositions.
Patrick Phillips:
Patrick Phillips is a West Yorkshire based photographer who has been specialising in Landscape photography, with an interest in environmental and man-made effects, left on the landscape, and aims to document all of his work.
As well as landscapes, Patrick also studies live music, events, street photography and commercial studio projects.
I really enjoy looking at Patrick's work as it is different to most other photography work as it has been taken at some places that know and have been to, and it is interesting to see how someone else see's something. I think that Patrick is an excellent natural and street based photographer as his view points are outstanding.
Patrick's black and white photos are thoroughly beautiful to look at, as they bring depth towards the main focal point and is very intriguing, also his colour based work is again truly beautiful and has a real mystery and warmth towards some of the focal points used. Patrick is currently studying photography at University.
John Shaw:
John Shaw specialises in nature and travel photography,
John has been a pro nature photographer since the early 1970's.
HIs work has been published in many books and magazines for instance National Geographic.
John has published six books on nature photography, plus six eBooks on photoshop and lightroom.
John has also photographed on every continent, from Artic to Antartica. and from province to Patagonia.
On John Shaw's website on his galleries page, there is a variety of albums you can view. John's '2012' album is quite spectacular, the striking images with deep contrasts of colours, and just beautifully clear shots.
John has some fantastic images on 'recent', the beautiful clear cut shots he has taken are sublime, the bright colours are again, striking and add lots of appeal.
Galen Rowell:
Galen was born in 1940, in Oakland and was raised in Berkely, California, to a college
professor, and a concert cellist.
Galen was introduced to the wildlerness before he could even walk.
Taking photographs began as a way to share his high and wild world with friends and family. In 1972 he became a full-time photographer after selling his small automotive business. Less than a year later he did his first major magazine assignment–a cover story for National Geographic.
