Landmarks are often the most recognisable or well-known feature of a place or landscape.
In her "London Classic' collection Niki Gorick uses photography to show something
different about familiar landmarks. Richard Long, Robert Smithson and Alan Sonfist create
landmarks in the environment using a variety of materials which they record
photographically.

Photographers use many ways to explore the outlines of their subject. Man Ray used the
technique of solarisation. Horst P Horst explored the use of silhouette in some of his portraits.
Bill Beckley and Joan Fontcuberta have emphasised outline by setting natural forms against a
strongly contrasting and coloured background. Commercial photography of still life groups often
emphasises outline using careful arrangement of lighting. Holly Roberts adds outline to her
images with collage and paint.

Reflections

Reflections in surfaces such as water, mirror
glass, windows and metallic objects are
sometimes recorded by photographers and
filmmakers to create distorted images or to
frame a view. Lee Friedlander has photographed
images reflected in the wing mirrors of cars and
shop windows. Naoya Hatakeyama used
reflections on water to explore views of Tokyo in
his 'River Series'. Images containing reflections
have also been used as the basis for GIF
animations and film loops.

Diary

Documentary photography often records a diary of events over time. Bill Brandt, in his series
'The English at Home', produced a photographic diary of daily life. In the 1930s Rosener and
Bubley worked for the FSA to document working conditions of people. J Owenns, in 'The
Photographic Diary', takes a series of photographs each day over the course of one year. Using
social media many people share digital diaries of their lives. Either (a) Same old, same old ... or
(b) A time to be remembered

Repetition
https://uk.pinterest.com/tallisarts/gcse-2016-repetition/
Photographers will often produce images based on their observations of repeated shapes in
nature or the built environment. Careful consideration of viewpoint and composition can
produce strong abstract patterns. Objects and images can be arranged to form a repeat pattern.
M Galimberti often uses a grid structure to arrange images of the same subject. P de Lory has
produced more than one series of photos using repeated shapes found in the landscape. É-J
Marey used repetition to record movement.

Irving Penn's fashion photography often uses strong contrasting backgrounds and careful
lighting to emphasise the colour and pattern of clothing. In order to display clothing
dramatically the fashion photography of Yanzhou Bao sometimes uses a black background and
vivid lighting together with both long and multiple exposures. L Raymond used light and the
transparency of material to photograph clothes hanging lines and coat hangers. Phyllis Galembo
photographs people dressed for celebrations.
