Title:
Symbolism
Description:
I wonder what I’m looking for at the moment; landscapes with meaning seem to be filing my head; if pretty isn’t enough, then what fills the void? But there is an internal debate about whether meaning is necessary or desirable? And maybe more importantly what is meaning in a landscape photograph?
Meaning can be thought of in very broad terms from the emotional sledgehammer of darkened edges, brooding skies and stark contrast; or socio-political statements of man’s effect on the environment; mundane images that may or may not express something of our empty commercialised lives; to the more subtle versions where meaning is implied through composition and symbolism.
Can meaning in landscape really be communicated in the image only or do we require words to back it up, titles, descript
