Photos Around the School
John Divola
John Divola was born in 1949, in Los Angeles. He is a contemporary visual artist, who focuses on landscapes. Most of his photos are very upright and centre frame. The colours used in Divola's pictures are particularly pleasant; The use of the slightly red early sunset sky, contrasting with the blue of the sea, or mountains.
This image shows a window looking out over the sea. The glass has been shattered from the window and remains on the floor, along with an open case. The image is taken at the same angle as the window frame.

This image displays a green house at the centre. The photo has been taken at a distance from the hut.

This photo is similar to the first. It also consists of a window overlooking the sea. This time, however the photo has been taken closer to the window.

Landscape Final Pieces- Artificial Skies:
For my final pieces, I decided to take the photos of Camden, yet this time, I would change the colour of the sky to a single bright colour, this gave the photos a more unique look, as it displays a more artificial landscape.
