A photographer who inspires me is Lisa Young, she is a freelance journalist and photographer who specialises in travel and jounalism photography. She intrests me as she is the line of work i wish to be in, and looking at her work gives me ideas for pictures i have taken when i have been on holiday or even just going to london for a day. Her pictures are simple but very eyecatching and intresting to the eye, she uses the element of colours, lines depth of field etc to make the picture intresting for the audience. Here are some examples of her work


This picture was taken in Havana Cuba, The use of lines of the building in the background makes the picture inresting they almost frame the building in the foreground which stands out due to the colour of the building against the other. To me it connotes new taking over the old as the building in the background is newer and therefore bigger and better then the one in the foreground which makes it look as if it is taking over the older building, the use of the angle of the shot gives a intimidation feel the the picture as the newer building is over looking the older building. The picture also connotes chaos to me due to the amount of lines etc going on within the picture.


This picture is taken in Marsaxlokk, Malta. The use of colours and depth of field is what makes the picture interesting. The use of the boats colours makes it stand out from the rest of the picture as if it is some kind of outcast from the rest. This is also shown with the ducks just infront of the boat, the white duck being the outcast from the rest. The use of the natrual element of water being very prominent within the picture connotes relaxation. The use of the boat in the background connotes a sense of freedom as the boat in the foreground is tied up.
