Final Project

Well, after a lot of editing and debates about which pictures are the best I finally choose 8 pictures to present:

Last selection of photos for the project

This is my selection for the final project now I have to decide if I will keep them colour or black and white. Also I have to cut down the numbers. I have to pick only 6-8 from them.

My inspiration 3 - Leonard Misonne

Leonard Misonne inspired me very much. You can see what a calm atmosphere his pictures show. It is really like you look at a painting. I always liked the relationship between art and photography especially because I also paint and draw and I have an artist eye.

This photographer inspired my landscapes totally. Even if I use long exposure to blur the sky.

The Belgian photographer joined the pictorialist movement with his images of landscapes resembling paintings. Working on light and grey monochromes, Leonard Misone’s images diffused foggy and yet luminous atmospheres highlighted by dramatic skies. There is something very tender and timeless within his photographs that, with their poetry and sensibility, also evoke Humanism and Jacques-Henri Lartigue’s easy living. With Leonard Misonne, the difference is that where easy living had to do with an elegant jet-set within Jacques-Henri Lartigue’s work, it has more to do with serene rural scenes.
