Winter Meadow, Yosemite Valley, California, USA, 1979
Frozen Fountain, Belle Isle, Detroit, Michigan, USA, 1994
The first photographer I chose for this week’s entry is the photographer is Michael Kenna. He is a British photographer known for his nighttime landscape photos. I chose him because I found the use of his light interesting despite him shooting at night or dawn. I feel like his choice of shooting at dawn or night gives his photographs a sense of somber ambiance that is calming to me. Also it seems like his photographs seem to be foggy.
I think his photography relates well to the assignment because of how he made the light the main focus. For example in the first photo the light coming through the clouds makes a normal photo of snow covered trees seem like something is about to land from another world. The second photo reminds of something I would have photographed but the atmosphere in the background makes it seem like another world.
