Before doing the practical on norms work, I found it difficult to understand his work as well as how it had a relationship with landscape photography. Despite this misunderstanding I decided to try and replicate his work in my own style in order to understand what his perspective might be as well as the message he is trying to convey to the viewer.
Despite my lack of creativity in painting the plants, I decided to stick to vivid, noticeable colours that set itself apart from the landscape as well as the plant itself. Thus, trying to get it noticed as being a different part of nature as well as giving me the opportunity to manipulate the picture on Photoshop so that the painted part of the image is the only part of the image in colour!
While taking the pictures, I attempted to place my decorated plant parts in a way that it looked as of it was part of the plant itself. As well as this, I decided to also use my camera along side the colleges own camera as a test for a possible project I may pursue in A2 which would involve using my smartphone camera.
While undertaking the inspired work, I started to understand the core, underlying message which Magnusson was trying to spread. This message being; We take nature for granted until something disturbs its common characteristics... By doing this, Magnusson also makes the viewer take time into understanding the nature and appreciating what nature has to offer.
