To me, the landscape shots captured in this film by Stuart Dryburgh are one of the best I've every seen. A lot of critics have compared it to flicking through and National Geographic magazine.
If some one said 'describe landscape photography to me', I would probably show them something similar to the scenes in this film.
Even though there is a general "rule" (I use the term extremely loosely) that there shouldn't be people included in landscape photography, I think that is what makes these shots more interesting to the viewers. If the actor wasn't in that shot, quite frankly, it would be quite boring to look at in my opinion.
I feel as if to make landscape more appealing to viewers (especially if its in black and white which we are shooting) there should be at least one thing in the photograph that stands out, as I said about the last image, it would be quite boring without the person in it. The same goes for this image above. However the first image I put in, if you took the person out, it would still have a main point of focus, which would be the main rock that is just off centre.
Like in this image, even though it does have people in, if you took them out, there is still the road that adds something to the image. I feel like this is something I want to try and achieve in my work, I want to give people more to look at rather than the usual things that come to mind when you mention landscape photography.
