Participating in a photo-safari is a very exciting event…seeing many
animals in their natural habitat. Making photographs of these
animals that are both artistic and evocative is a challenging task.
It is often too easy to just focus on recording the subject without
considering novel ways to photograph it.
This photography shows a simple but very romantic view of the lion pair
against the wonderful orange-red color of early morning. The
animals are peaceful, almost romantic—rather than showing the animals in
their natural predator state with other animals.
Showing the animal is silhouette really makes this photography sing.
The strong composition of the lions balancing the rising sun is clearly
the result of waiting for the right moment to trigger the shutter.
The clouds partly shield the brightness of the sun and give structure to
the sky and the sun…making it a strong visual component of the
photograph.
Moments of Clarity
Using a medium format film camera Joelle makes photographs of places
that are in many cases hidden from the everyday view of people.
Both going down into subterranean places, abandoned buildings and on top
of bridges she captures the energy of these different places.
Moments of Clarity is an amazing photograph. The vantage point is atop
the Queensborough Bridge in New York City. A daring place to be
standing; made even more challenging in that she is manipulating a
medium format film camera!
This vantage point allowed Joelle to produce an exceptional picture of
the nighttime cityscape. The curving cables leads the viewer’s eye
to the other side of the East River and into the magical nightlights of
the city. The reflections in the river counterbalance the view
Her vantage point view a different view of the city coupled with seeing
the intricate structure of the bridge revealed by the dramatic
lighting…creating the sense of a magical sky-way. | ||||
