Photography - it is one of my greatest passions. What better to write about for a creative response blog then, wouldn’t you think? Because photography is a big part of my life, I found writing this creative response very interesting. I find photography blogs tend to relate to their readers on an emotional/opinionated level, rather than an analytical level. The target audience I am aiming for cant really be pinned down to a certain age group, but more of a range of people with photographic interests.
Each post is written on separate photographers whom inspire me greatly - all five of them having varying styles, which I thought would create a better sense of variety. From intriguing underwater portraiture, to outstanding concert photography, my blog describes each photographer, the dominating themes/styles in their work, and the overall nature of their photography. I am quite fond of colour and emotional conveyance upon viewers in photographs; therefore, much of what I describe in these posts is about the emotive character I see within them, and the colour schemes used to enhance this. I began the blog writing about famous photojournalist, Steve McCurry. I aimed to take on a more journalistic approach to this blog (focusing on photojournalists) as I felt it tied in better with the class; however, after writing about McCurry, who greatly inspires me, I felt the need to continue writing about other photographers who create outstanding art, and I find deserve much more recognition for their work.
