It was suggested to be by my tutor that i look up the work of Michael Kenna, as it might be something that interests me. I have to say, i am glad my tutor made this recommendation, as i have fallen in love.
I am a big fan of black and white photography already, but i absolutely love the simplicity in his photographs and how beautiful something so simple / bare can look.

| I love how eerie the misty reflections make this photograph look. |
 |
| This is probably my favourite photograph of Kenna's i have found, i love the contrasts in this picture, the really black trees against the strip of white light/sky in the center of the frame. I also love the movement the trees create. |
 |
| I love how simple this photograph is, 6 vertical lines created by a reflection in water taking up only a small part of the frame. This is something i could see myself taking, but then scrapping, worrying it was too simplistic or boring. Looking at this now, i can see this not the case and is something i would definitely like to draw influence from and try in the future |
I love the way Kenna captures line and shapes in such a simplistic way, it is definitely something i will draw influence from in my photography in the future, i just wish i had become aware of him before my assignment on lines and shapes so i could have perhaps interpreted some of these photographs into my own work there.
