Artist Model 1


My First Artist model is Philip Hyde
He does a lot of landscape photography which is kind of what i am going to try and do for my first shoot.
Here are 3 of his photos which i really like and might just and use some of the things which are in his photos like reflections and lighting.

Early Morning, Lake Tenaya, Yosemite National Park, Sierra Nevada, California, 1975 by Philip Hyde.

I really like this photo because of the reflections in the water of the trees
Becuase i want my photos to look peaceful i am hoping to get some reflections off the water at Aotea Lagoon. I think that the reflection and the stillness of the water will help to viewer see that it is a nice and quiet place.

  Mt. Denali, Reflection Pond, Denali National Park, Alaska by Philip Hyde.

This is another photo which again uses reflection to help show the peacefulness of the scene. From what i have found it seems that when photos are taken when there is water invovled that it helps to get a reflection on the water. To get this i am going to have to go on a very nice day and for the water in the lagoon to be still which is quite hard in wellington.

  El Capitan, Clouds, Fall, Yosemite Valley, Yosemite National Park, 1973 by Philip Hyde

This photo has a slight reflection but not much because the water isnt taking up much to the scene unlike the other two photos which i have found. I think that this one is another good photo which shows peacefullness of the scene. What i think makes this photo look good is the stillness of the photo. The trees look completly still and it doesnt look like there has been any wind.


I am hoping to get some images similar to these photo but may be hard with Wellington weather, but i am really going to try
