In a resent copy of Amateur Photography I found and good article on a project that relates well to my own work on this course. The 2020Vision project is a gathering of 20 of the countries top nature and wildlife photographers, filmmakers and sound engineer who have been given the task of documenting 20 ecosystem restoration projects in the UK. Having seen that photography and moving images are the best way to get a message across to the public they hope that they can tap into the emotional connection that we have with nature and the role ecosystems have in our everyday life. Whats good about this collection is that they've looked at a couple of the areas I plan to cover myself giving me the chance to see how renowned wildlife/landscape photographers have approached the subject and portrayed the work being done. By following the link you can have a look for yourself
2020Vision but better still keep a look out for the tour because there taking the work all over using it for the purpose it was originally created, I'm luck because in April next year its pretty close to where I live so I'll be putting the dates in my diary.
Above are a few examples of the work they've produced letting see and understand the natural world as they see it, I really like the red deer taken I think in Richmond Park because its a great illustration of how closely we coexist with nature in the modern world. I also like the first photo of the flock of birds because it feels so alive through the use of longer exposures, this is something I want to try myself because I'd hate all my wildlife work to seem very posed and still. I really want to see more before the exhibition arrives locally so I'm going to have invest in the book, here I'm sure I find even more inspiration for my own work.
