Connecting Essay Two


I took this photograph at a Water Mill in Hertford, I really enjoyed this shoot because the scenery was very pretty. I think the two photographs are quite similar, however there is no buildings in Godwin's photograph whereas there are in mine. I think that her photograph shows two sides to rural England, some of it is incredibly lush like on the right of her photograph, whereas in contrast the left of her photograph looks quite barren. I think my photograph also shows a sort of contrast, on the right it is quite lush and green whereas on the right we can see a building, I think that this shows urbanisation and how there is starting to be a lack of green spaces in cities.

Fay Godwins photographs are always in black and white, they also show the environment in its raw state. I think that her photographs are really nice because they show the British environment in a beautiful light. I would enjoy doing this sort of shoot for my final shoot and I would like to try this out in an even more rural area, this shows sustainability because we should be leaving areas rural like this for future generations to enjoy and for animals and plants to be able to thrive.
