Mike Moats Macro Photography
For this project, I chose Mike Moats who is a photographer from Detroit. He travels around the nation talking about his book called Tiny Landscapes. His book shows the true beauty of nature from a close-up perspective instead of how we view things every day. All of his photos focus on not just a flower or plant, but what happens to this flower or plant when you get up close and show its real beauty of patterns, light, and feeling. I think these batch of photos are one of my best so far and, I have enjoyed taking these the most. My recipe was to take these photos with a macro lens and take many photos of the same subject with different focuses.
Hey Danny! I have to say that I'm very impressed by how close and focused you were able to get your photos. I like the photos of flowers paired with the dark background/heavy shadows, especially when the flower is like a pop of color. Great job this week!
ReplyDeleteI like the flower shots the best, because I think color plays a great role in your series. While the black and white shots are good, I think the inclusion of vibrant colors will produce a very visually striking series.
ReplyDeleteBesides some photos that look out of focus, these photos really capture the feel of Mike Moats. Some of these photos also look a little dark in comparison to others. The black and white photos also highlight the light very well but distract from the subject of the frame. I especially like the more simplistic photos where the background is blurred and unclear.
ReplyDeleteI really like the color in these, especially in the flower ones, they all look really nice.
ReplyDeletei like the close up and the personal feeling you get i wonder if you could also try different angles?
ReplyDeleteI really like the way that you got so close to the photos and used the shadows to make the photos really pop. Really good job this week!
