Brendan Austin is a photographer born in New Zeeland. His he life was always busy he travelled, living in many countries during his childhood. His task 'Paper Mountains' is the task we chose to replicate. Austin said 'By exploring ideas that provoke the questioning of truth in photographic reproduction, blurring the boundaries between fiction and non-fiction, I attempt to build a story of an alternate nature.' I tried to replicate this in my photos.

Visual exercises is a photo project by a Polish photographer, Alicja Brodowicz. In her work she explores the similarities between human and nature. She focuses on the finer details, she says-"I photograph the human body – the microcosm, Its’ fragments: hair, scars, texture of skin, wrinkles. I am interested in individual particularities; I look for distinguishing features and irregularities. Imperfections are my favourites.”
“I photograph nature – the macrocosm, Surface of water, grass, tree bark, dry leaves. I combine the two images, looking for converging lines, textures, similarities in layout and analogies in composition between the microcosm and the macrocosm. I look for unity between the human body and the nature.” |

Johnny KerrJohnny Kerr spent hours photographing, waiting and observing how the lines, shapes and forms changed as the sun moved from morning to late afternoon, revealing new relationships of harmony or tension.
The ambiguous forms, shapes and textures of the almost featureless stucco exterior intrigued Kerr as a designer. By observing how the structural lines intersected from various vantage points, Kerr was often able to confuse the visual perception of foreground and background. The pastel colour palette is inspired by the building’s southwest geography and was a challenging visual departure from my previous monochromatic approach to abstract architecture. |

In his project the 'night bus,' he takes photos of people on buses catching different perspective and a small insight into people's lives. I took the idea of perspective out of Turpin's work and transferred it to my own. My intentions are to capture people in their natural environment. |

Stephens work consist of bus stops across Birmingham. Stephen used the graffiti, scratched windows as a lens to create a unique lens which gives contrast and also show cases . He creates a new perspective that retains and emphasises the energy of the graffiti. Its swirls, zigzags, lines and curves, slash across the bus stop. Many people thought this type of graffiti was a violation to the bus stop, and it represented anger, Stephens used this and turned them into art.
