Tranquil Research

I first thought the first place to look for original research would be Lens Culture. I looked online and did a simple search online to see what appeared.  The word 'Tranquil' showed up this photography and her work.

I really like her work as the images truly represent what people originally think of tranquil. This is what typical images of tranquil represent. I really like the way her images have a mysterious feel with as the mist and toned down colours create a eerie effect. Here are two of my favourites:

Tranquil forest

I really like the toned down colours as I said before as the purple/pink mist in the second images has visual connotations of a different world therefore creating a fairytale like feeling. This links with the word tranquil as its represented with an enchanted feel for something peaceful and dream like.

I also like the layers of trees in almost all of her images. She has composed the pictures in such a way that it looks almost unnatural for the trees to be in rows and look so aesthetically pleasing. This is something I should try in my work by using lines and rows to create images.

And All the Spaces in Between

Photographs and text by

Linda Plunkett

After taking up anothet search on lens culture into tranquil I found another photographer by the name Linda Plunkett. Plunkett has also used the word tranquil to its typical image yet the images as a whole look really pleasing. I like the way the images are quite an image in a collection. This also maks the colour of the white background in all images stand out. It really draws the audience to look closer and feel the true meaning of tranquil.

I really want my final project to also have this quality. I want my images as a whole to look aesthetically pleasing together. This is something I want to look at in more depth in another blog post which I will link HERE.
