Photographer Research - Fay Godwin

Fay Godwin

This photograph by Fay Godwin is beautiful, I really like her photography because it is so simple, yet it shows so much in my opinion. I really like how much contrast there is between the dark and the light parts of the photograph, I think that the photo is amazing even though the scenery is quite bare and looks as though it is dying. 

I think this photograph shows two sides to our environment, on the left side of the road the environment looks dead and derelict, even the fence looks in bad condition, however on the right side of the fence, the environment looks beautiful and well kept after, I think it is an interesting picture and she may have taken it to show what is happening globally, with the majority of our land turning into land like on the left, due to disasters like decertification which leaves the land un-useable.

Personally I like this photograph because it shows reflection really nicely, also I think that it shows texture quite well in my opinion. I would like to take some photos like this because it could be used to show how the land naturally is and that we should try to keep it like this, taking control of everything

I really like this photograph, I think that it looks very british, the sky is quite grey in this photo which is quite a typical british thing. This photo shows the farmer leading the cows, he is standing ahead of the herd which shows that he has power over them. 

Summary: In my opinion, her photographs show Britain in their rawest form, she hasn't tried to make the country look any better than it actually is. I think that this works well because it looks more realistic.
