Russ Barnes
Russ Barnes had loved art since a child since everyone around him including his father who was a water colour artist and his uncle who owned his own photographic business. He was interested in art whilst he was at school and he studied the subject all the way up to an A Level. He was still had an interest after this but never started thinking about photography until many years later. Finally up until his late thirties to he began his journey to start landscape photography. He loves to express his passion for true and realistic photography and soon became a world famous photographer.
Examples of Russ Barnes work
I think that Russ Barnes work is quite exquisite and natural. He goes to places which we would see as wonderful and then captures the moment at a whole different view as us and enhances the features that are hidden round the area. for example the leaves on the the first picture or the colours and the redness of the roses in the next photograph. If we were like Russ Barnes we could see the world a lot differently than we used to. To take it the next step he added a black and white filter in the final photo but mysteriously doesn't make it appear so dull but instead very vivid.

Examples of Antony Spencer work
Antony Spencer has wonderful work and expresses the natural feeling of his pictures without adding so much that it looks unrealistic. He brings out the truth from his picture. He goes up to a whole different dimension with his photographic skills. The picture in the left makes you have a feeling of looking at a creamy smooth cake not forgetting the water fall in the picture changes the effect on the viewer.
