Unit 208 - Theme 1- Joe Cornish ,Landscape Photographer

Joe Cornish was born in Exeter in 1958 . Joe began studying art at Reading university where he first became intreged with photography . Joe graduated in 1980 and spent two years in Washington and two further years helping out in studios and with other photographers in London which eventually prepared him for a career in mainstream commercial photography . Joe's love of the out doors and a meeting with the highly acclaimed Charlie Waite in 1986 helped inspire Joe to change his path from commercial photography to travel work , and provided the photographs for at least thirty travel books . Joe also worked for Raleigh International in 1991 which was to inspire a love of wild places and wilderness and helped create the path that Joe follows to this day . The National Trust played apart also inspiring Joe to become involved in environmental conservation                                        
whilst taking photographs for their books .

Joe Cornish came into Burton college on  an evening in December , Joe talked about his life and how he became a landscape photographer . Joe explained about his techniques and elements  that enabled his to take such absolutely fantastic shots which he presented to all during his presentation talking us though most of his images. LIGHT , light and timing playing  a massive part in the the end product , fab photos . Joe also brought along some of his cameras and equipment talking in detail about his choices of composition and exposure , it was great to see what Joe works with and some of the extras that he thinks in necessary whist going on his walks through the land .  
 I have chosen research and chose these images that belong to Joe Cornish, for the composition of all of his shots , the colors , the textures and the way he uses the light to infuse color in to his photographs , they are also very pleasing to the eye.
