Research- A couple more photographers

I'm still trying to look at how other artists and people interpret road trips and so I'm still looking at other people's work. Noah Kalina's own look at road trips on his site is interesting and again different to previous ones I've looked at.

His road trip series reads to me more like a narrative of their journey, and features people which I've yet to do so far. Perhaps it's something I shouldn't just rule out. Interestingly, he also composes using windows terrifically.



This image is probably the most interesting in the set. I'm not sure what it is (possibly the lighting or the set feel to it) but it makes me think of Crewdson's images. Either way, it's a great image and one of the best in the set. Very different to most road trip imagery.


I also love this image. It's simple but very, very effective and the composition is great as are the colours. I tend to forget about light trails, maybe because they're so overdone, but they are beautiful and this is great use of them, particularly having the car in shot.

The other photographer I found is Ryan Jones. He isn't usually photographing road trips but needed some time away and made some images while he did. A lot of them are based around people, and they're great photos, but I still prefer still life or landscape stuff and so these two images stood out to me.
