10 Photographers You Need To Watch If You Love Simple Landscapes
Landscapes are a major genre in photography, and many photographers capture them using a pristine approach that bridges abstraction and minimalism. It is amazing to see so many styles of photography in one single genre. For better or worse, human beings have transformed our landscapes, and our footprint has been a subject of many landscapes, too. Here is a selection of 10 photographers you need to watch if you’re into simple, yet carefully captured landscapes.
Kenna has been around for a while, and is widely known for his unusual approach towards landscapes. He uses very long exposures (sometimes up to 10 hours) with his Hasselblad cameras. He manages to capture ethereal, almost Zen-like results thanks to his long exposures and compositions. The main influence on his style was the Japanese aesthetic, and Kenna has portrayed Japan in an extremely accurate form. His work can be seen in many places, from his personal website to his personal Instagram account.
Senn’s work focuses mainly on the human element, and her compositions communicate her vision of the world through arrangement of man-made objects (machinery, and architecture). Her work has been defined as playful and dreamlike. One thing is true: it is extremely imaginative, and — if you’re into pristine-looking ambiances — totally worth looking at due to her work’s aesthetic. You can see some of it here.
