Research

I was searching the Internet to try and find some photographs that relate a little bit to the type of photographs that I am taking, I have come across a few different photographs that are shown below.

These photographs don't relate that much to the type of photos that I am taking but I really like the colours and the compositions. The images are just really eye catching and strong due to this and the colours within them. There along the lines of what I am doing yet different at the same time as they don't really have anything surrounding them, well anything that you can see anyway.

I again really like his photographs, although they don't relate directly to what I am doing as they don't necessarily show any of the area surrounding the flowers. There are a few photos that relate a little more to the direction in which I am going in such as
