For this set of landscape photography, I commuted to Ilkley in West Yorkshire, i brought an telephoto lens as an additive, however used a standard lens as it has the added capability of being used as a wideangle lens (once the focal length is dropped below 35mm) this was useful when photographing rock formations on the moorland; as I could be more selective with the composition and focusing.

Irving Penn
Irving Penn is an American photographer specializing in still life and portraiture, Penn studied at the Philadelphia museum school of art after this penn worked as a freelance artist he began working for vogue magazine however wasn’t asked to work on the design and photography of the magazine until later on in his career. Penn has worked on a variety of photographic subjects such as metals foods and even bones.
The still life photography that Penn has produced is well known and his composition within his images is renowned for being highly organized and having great aesthetic and artistic quality. I think Penn’s work on fruit is well light and has great compositional factors making his work look organized and interesting simultaneously, the work Penn has produces on food is somewhat strange as the textures he used don’t really work together but uses them anyway and lights them with strong white light making the images look bright and clinical however the textures of food and other subjects create a positive juxtaposition, i think this is unlike any other kind of still life photography.
