Carol Franc Buck, Kat Martin, Millee Tibbs, and John Pfahl are a handful of photographers that are associated with altered landscapes. Altered Landscapes are photographs depicting scenery that tricks the mind into seeing something that’s not necessarily there. These types of photographs transform our mind into seeing something at a different range, then it actually is or even changing the scene by adding additional images. These four artists work in a similar way, with a similar subject, to create beautiful landscapes that are highly unique. Carol Franc Buck’s showcasing’s feature modern-day landscape photographs. Since his work began in the early 1990s, the collection has intended to tackle and secure subjects related to land-dwellings and …show more content…
His creativity genuinely stands out due to his use of snow globes, in which he uses throughout all of his landscape photographs. Personally, I am fascinated by snow globes and the way they can change a person’s mood in a matter of seconds. They are useful when needing to reduce someone’s stress levels and they are beautiful to look at from an overall standpoint. Today, this photographer also focuses on mountainous and valley terrains. Tibbs travels to these sites to photograph them; then he prints these images, folds them, and then re-photographs them. The subsequent images are concurrently controlled and photographically real. The geometric impositions onto the photo-object impresses an artistic essence onto the landscape. Tibbs uses very straight lines which can create a new shape on top of the original photograph. I believe that his work can be unoriginal at times because there are many filters now-a-days that can easily be placed on top of images. His work in my option is very beautiful and I love how the lines being placed on these photographs are used to form new shapes, such as knots. His work can be considered alternated because it’s hard to say whether or not individuals should focus on the mountainous terrain or on the lines that are being placed on the …show more content…
He makes his photographs look visually far away and makes the viewer seem like they are inside of the photograph. His use of color is absolutely astonishing. He uses vibrant colors that makes the scene feel surreal and like a daydream. He would take an existing piece of work, showing hiking trails or forests, and he would personalize it in order to make it unique. Pure and natural landscapes don’t interest Pfahl at all. Pfahl naturally deals with the connection of nature and man’s interaction on land. Pfahl uses specific angles and straight lines using rope, to create a specific picture that he
For example, he uses texture, color and organic forms to make the landscape look as real as possible. Most of the shapes are formed by shifts in colors and line because the canvas are two-dimensional. The viewer can observe that the painting is dominated by greys, browns, ochers, and other natural colors such as green and yellow to give the scene a more nature-like look. All the components and objects painted in this piece appear to have the same texture and color as the ones found in real life, such as rocks suggesting a rough hard texture and clouds being soft, which probably means that Vernet took in consideration real landscapes and places he might have seen in real life. While using different shades of grey, and painting dark clouds, Vernet was able to convince that a storm was approaching but he also decided to add source of light coming from the upper left corner by using a golden yellow color to create a sense of warmth, which creates a nice contrast between the light and the coldness from the overall shadows that seem to dominate the artwork, creating variety; however, the repetition of colors such as greys gave the whole piece a sense of unity and they also express the shadows of a stormy day.

Florian Maier-Aichen is a landscape photographer and drawer.With the computer he is able to alter photographs and make them a piece of artwork that not only pleases his thoughts, but also makes a statement.Since he takes real life images of a landscape and then constructs them in different modes that satisfy him , those images aren’t reality anymore.In Blum & Poe you can observe the strange colors he added to enrich myth-making.He fantasizes landscapes, making them open ended
His heavy brushstrokes and vivid colors portray the night sky as crazy and chaotic and the village below as peaceful and serene.

One of the biggest growing points in his career was when he took on a massive project

Through the director’s use of cinematography, The Man from Snowy River exhibits the magnificent landscapes of Australia such as the Snowy Mountains. In addition to the sandy beaches and the dry and dusty outback, Australia is also home to the untameable yet gorgeous high country. This film captures the beauty of these rugged mountains through aerial and extreme long shots, which display the landscape in its entirety. These shots reveal the vastness of the mountains and the bush, which appeals to tourists looking for a relaxing holiday away from the bustle and vibrancy of the city life. Highlighting the breathtaking scenery that our country has to offer, The Man from
Giorgione "loved to paint landscapes." Especially in "The Adoration of the shepherds" you can see how much effort he invested in painting a detailed background in form of a piece of coast and part of a village. When isolated this part takes on a life of its own (If concentrating you can see tiny details such as two persons standing at the edge of the coast.
Of the many similarities that these two pieces of artwork have, a major similarity would be the subject of the paintings. Both Sierra Nevada and Witch Duck Creek show a scene that includes a vast blue sky, a body of water, and trees surrounding the body of water. While each piece has its own unique spin on this scene, they are very similar and can evoke the same feeling from their viewers. When looking at each of these pieces, there is a calming sense to them that is likely due to the bodes of water that are depicted not moving. Not only is the water not moving, but also, the use of many vertical lines in the trees of both pieces do not create the sense of chaos like the use of diagonal lines would. This results in a still and peaceful effect that is further backed by the color pallets each artist chose. In Sierra Nevada, Bierstadt used a combination of tints and shades of blue, green, brown, yellow, and gray. Due to this combination, the piece is not overpowering with color and excitement and, therefore, helps to create a calm and relaxed scene. In Witch Duck Creek the same principle is used by Shaw. Shaw also uses a combination of tints and shades of blue, green, gray, brown and white that gives his piece the same sense of calmness and allows the viewer to be drawn into the piece. While the calmness of these two pieces and the way the art...
Ansel Adams’ was an American photographer who strived to inform people about wilderness preservation throughout his photographs. Each of the artist’s prints, mostly consisting of black and white, showed how each captured moment was an experience into the wilderness and a moment that speaks out about the preservation of the last remaining wilderness landmarks. Throughout his career, Ansel used a variety of cameras including a Hasselblad, a Korona view, a Polaroid Land SX-70, Linhof, Leica, and a 35 mm Zeiss Contax. With his cameras in hand, Ansel set off on many journeys through the wilderness in order to make photographs filled with expression and truth.
An artwork will consist of different elements that artists bring together to create different forms of art from paintings, sculptures, movies and more. These elements make up what a viewer sees and to help them understand. In the painting Twilight in the Wilderness created by Frederic Edwin Church in 1860 on page 106, a landscape depicting a sun setting behind rows of mountains is seen. In this painting, Church used specific elements to draw the viewer’s attention directly to the middle of the painting that consisted of the sun. Church primarily uses contrast to attract attention, but it is the different aspects of contrast that he uses that makes the painting come together. In Twilight in the Wilderness, Church uses color, rhythm, and focal
She starts by bringing a pessimistic view to photographs of nature, by describing what may or may not lie just outside the boundaries of the picture. Mockingly she leads the reader to assume that there are no real nature photos left in the world, but rather only digitaly enhanced photos of nature wit...

Starting with visual elements I saw lines, implied depth, and texture. I see lines by him using lines created by an edge. Each line is curved not straight but it works with the piece. By using this he creates the piece to make it whole. He uses many curved lines within the painting I don’t know if there is a straight line in the whole thing. The next element I saw was implied depth. Using linear perspective you can see the mountains but they look smaller than the rest of the piece. They are the vanishing point in the back making it look as if you can walk down and they will get closer and closer to you. The last element that I saw was texture. They talk about Van Gogh’s painting, The Starry Night having texture through a two- dimensional surface, in which this painting has that similar feel. Van Gogh uses thick brush stokes on his paintings to show his feelings. There is actually a name for this called, Impasto,
