Edgar Martins has been one of my favorite
photographers ever since I started this course and he has influenced me in a
lot of ways I haven’t noticed until I have looked back at my work. His work has
been a constant reference of mine in the background. Although I like a lot of
different things when it comes to photography when I see a simple well-executed
image that is uncluttered and evokes fond memories I find it to be almost
perfect and most of Edgar Martins images tick all of these boxes.
All of the images appear to have emptiness to them and I think by
having distance in the image the viewer has to scan across the image taking in
what little detail there is in. The objects and textures that are in Edgar
Martins images are always well proportioned and colour plays a big part in the
images even though it is often limited to certain areas. The colours often seem
to be too bright for the image and therefor they stand out and make a statement amongst the rest of the darkened images.
