Precedent Images

I got a lot of influence for my choice of space from Sir Edmund Hilary.  He was a New Zealand mountaineer who was one of the first to reach the top of Mount Everest.  He became interested in mountaineering when in high school and after concurring Everest devoted much of his life to helping the Sherpa people of Nepal through the Himalayan Trust, which he founded.  He was a great man and found great acievement and satisfaction in reaching summits which is want I want to show through my photography.

The trig is found at the top of summits.  It looks really amazing in photography against a blue sky and are only found at peaks so clearly show where the photo is taken.  I want to capture the trig in my photography to show that idea of achievement.  With the views in the background and some of the nature that surrounds it which really shows the beauty of summits. 



Phillip Bartlett is an award-winning landscape photographer known for his beautifully-lit panoramic images of New Zealand.  I got huge inspiration from his work as he really makes scenery look surreal and photographs these places when they are at their most beautiful, which is what I want to do in my series.



Ben Crawford specialises in landscape, travel and lifestyle photos.  He photographs all over the world but the above photos are taken in New Zealand.  I got influence from the way he photographs the scenery and tracks to make them look beautiful and want to visit these places.
