Research-Martin Waugh

My next photographer I am going to be researching is Martin Waugh. Martin Waugh also takes different kinds of water photography. The main type of water photography he specialises in is close up water droplets. This type of water photography looks great when taken correctly and Martin Waugh does it perfectly. Martin also takes photographs of seas and other sources of water but I am only going to focus on his close up work because that is what inspires me the most.

"Throughout history, water has calmed the soul, soothed the spirit and healed the wounded. Martin's free-flowing photography evokes images from rolling, rhythmic oceans to drops of water falling upon a lake, taking one on a spiritual journey bounded only by imagination"

This piece of information shows that Martin really concentrates on his work and the elements that build up to make his work possible. He believes in combining art and science to create natures infinite beauty (water).



The Classic

 This is one of his photos that is one of his normal water droplet photos. Quite simply he has taken a shot of the water droplet as it hits the water with a macro lense. But with the background colour it just looks fantastic. As I said before he takes pictures like this because he has stong beliefs in the scientific sides to water aswell as producing photography to prove it, brilliant!






Open Hand



This photograph in one word is phenominal. Martin Waugh has taken many different water droplet photos that quite amazingly look like different objects. Personally I do not know how he does it but in this photograph which is one of my favourites, he has managed to create broken wine glass effect. I guess that its all down to gravity and science in which way the water is dropped to create the different effects.
