Landscape is traditionally thought of
a pretty trees, and skies. There often delightful pictures in which draw in the
attention of the viewer, predominantly used as house décor to brighten the room
and create a sense of bliss.
Clearly inspired by the work of Ansel
Adams, photographer George DeWolfe has a series of photographs titled “Contemplative
Landscape”; although his photographs appear in every way to be an ordinary when
the image has your full attention unknown aspects of reality are recognised. The
tight frame of some of his shots draw you in but make you feel slightly on edge
or uneasy. His images have a strong tonal range and a strong contrast between
dark and light. Dependant on the environment of the finished print alters the
way in which you view his work. For example, if his work was in a dark room,
the images would have a darker meaning to the innocence and beauty they’d have
if placed in a bedroom as décor for example.
