Landscapes
Landscape photography is all about capturing the environments we inhibit. I chose to focus all of mine on Belmar Beach as that is where I am from. Majority of the landscape photographs were taken at sunrise or sunset which helped evoke a feeling of tranquility through the soft pastel hues and wonder through the fiery bursts or orange and yellow. Some photos captured the rule of thirds with the positioning of the lifeguard stand or rocks. The placement helps create depth and visual interest to the photograph while simultaneously giving a sense of balance and harmony. The leading lines of the waves also help direct the viewer’s eyes across the piece. All of these photos capture the various colors of the sky at the beach. Since I live at the beach, capturing photographs at times such as sunset and sunrise is so important to me as it brings me joy and serves as a reminder of just how beautiful life is.
