The following is a visual reference that has influenced this current project.
When searching for images of Bushy Park, there is a particular set of attributes that always appears. Lush green space, deer, misty sunrises, waterfowl and waterways, plus (of course) trees.
This collection of features has been diligently captured by photographer Joanna Jackson in her book A Year in the Life of Bushy Park. Through photography, Jackson has chronicled these elements over the year. The book is divided into chapters categorised by the four seasons.
When looking at these images, I noticed Jackson’s use of different aspect ratios, depth of field and combinations of images within the book.
Each image tells its own story of the park from a different perspective. This is what I will do in regard to the hawthorns.
