The following research explores artists who work in different fields, such as painting, photography and print-making. The research will explore how they visually record there ideas, techniques used, examples of work and what materials they used to convey ideas and meaning.
Adam Burton.- Landscape photographer
Is one of the UK's leading landscape photographers. Adam favours the rich colours of dawn and dusk when natural light is at its most special. He uses equipment to enable him to capture magical moments authentically at the picture taking stage, rather than relying on computer enhancements afterwards.

Is one of the UK's leading landscape photographers. Adam favours the rich colours of dawn and dusk when natural light is at its most special. He uses equipment to enable him to capture magical moments authentically at the picture taking stage, rather than relying on computer enhancements afterwards.
Although he now shoots exclusively digitally, his beginnings in film photography engendered a strong desire to record the landscape at its natural best, and nothing more. As a result Adams photography captures authentic and natural
moments in time, free from computer manipulation.
Evidence of how he visually records his ideas are not mentioned, however he does say In interviews that he creates test shots in different lights to achieve the best most realistic and interesting image. He spent months backpacking around Australia and New Zealand before he became interested in photography, and this has greatly inspired him to shoot natural landscape images. He mentions getting up at 3 am to achieve the best light that nature can offer and stresses continually that he does not digitally manipulate his images.
Techniques he uses to develop ideas include test shots, which are most important as a photography. This is important as light and weather can be unpredictable. He also mentions how other artists inspire him, and how they can inspire his work by doing research.
He gets all his concepts ideas while witnessing nature. This is widely communicated in his work by the natural colours and lighting used, also the lack of digital manipulation. He also mentions finding places that are untouched by humans, this involves visiting places by boat or helicopter.

| This image shows the importance of planning and a strong idea. This is shown as the photographer has considered weather conditions and timing of this photograph, as there is no people in sight and the water is still and untouched. The strong idea is visually relevant as the mountains, water and boat are in the image, following the rule of three. |
 |
| In this particular image, the strong refection matching the colours of the sky are evidence of a strong concept and perfect timing of the day. It has also been planned effectively as the settings on the camera to create this image as evidence of experience in photography. The three main colours are green, blue and white which is also evidence of the rule of three and are primary colours, referring to the nature theme of his work |
 |
| This image shows the recurring theme of a wide depth of field. I think this is extremely helpful in influencing my own work while giving me techniques such as the depth of field to produce a successful landscape image. It also follows the recurring theme of the rule of three . This is so frequent in his images as it is key to a good composition and a well produced image. As there are only two colors that are prominent, the image gives the same effect as black and white, as it is sharp.
Materials
Burton uses materials such as the lee filter
The rest of this task has been produced on word and printed out due to technical difficulties. |
