Locations and Emotions- England

Newquay-With the images of photographs taken abroad i wanted to include images of pictures i had taken from the summer in England, from past festivals and camping trips.



Some images i have taken is from a festival last summer, Boardmasters, in Newquay, the emotions captured in these images relate to the fun i had,good weather, sitting around a campfire and remembering the memories i had there.


In the photo on the left was a picture i took around the campfire, i really like the red sky in the backround as the sun went down, it shows the relaxed emotions in this candid shot.


















the picture on the left is from the same fesitval in Newquay over looking the beach the weather effected everyones emotions around me. This picture is fresh and always reminds me of the hot summer i had in newquay. You can see all the people on the beach enjoying the weather, this shows how weather can effect what happens around us and how the weather makes us feel.


Recently it snowed in my area and exposed many emotions within people. Some people were angry about icey roads and not making it into work, but snow can change the atomasphere completly, its calm and settled way it sets on trees and freezes up ponds like we can see below in my local park . The snow made the park isolated and my emotions felt lonely yet settled.



Teignmouth:


Teignmouth, Devon is famous for its long coastlines and tourists attractions, visiting Teignmouth as a child it brings back many memories of my childhood. Visting recently i took some images that brought back memories of Teignmouth and emotions when i was there. Below is an image i took at sunset on teignmouth beach, as you can see a diver is coming out of the water which brings a sense of adventure within the image. I also like the way the sun shines on the harbour and shadows the old wooden boats.

Jen bryant Photography- Westcountry, South West Devon.
Jen Bryant subject areas including: Devon, coastal, beaches, estuaries, Dartmoor, Exmoor, Ten Tors, Dawns, Sunsets, Trees, villages, towns, Landscapes and Rivers. She enjoys the aspect of how certian locations make you feel when you are there and what emotion influences you to take the picture. For example in a visit to Dartmoor she quotes "Dartmoor is a magical place. I just love to be there whatever the weather. When the light is good it can be out of this world, but it also has a mighty presence when it is bad"
I really like the emotions captured in Bryants images, the way she decribes Dartmoor as magical shows the emotion she feels when taking the images. On a sunny day i feel i could capture scenery which also feels magical when taking the images.



















Inspired by Jen Bryants work i decided to visit another location within South West Devon, Haytor, this is a popular site with its signature rocks and stunning scenery , this location was perfect to express the emotion of calmness and fresh atomasphere when over looking devon from the top of the hill. Below are some images of Haytor Rock on a sunny day. The scenery was perfect to capture the open calm atomasphere of Haytor.
