Galen Avery Rowell was born on August 23, 1940 and died on August 11, 2002. He was known as a wilderness photographer and climber. What made me love Galen's photographs was that he was able to take a simple photograph of a landscape scene and make even more beautiful by having the sunlight shine in the background. By doing so, it created a even more beautiful scene. In the first photo Galen used the sunlight to highlight the colours of the sky and to emphasize the plants branches and the grassy landscape. In the second photograph, called Mountain Light, He took a ready mountain top scene and used the light reflecting on the mountain to show the colours and sense of beauty the scene created on its own.
What made me love Galens work the most was that he didn't take a beautiful scene and add objects or lighting to make it beautiful, he used the natural beauty and colours the earth creates on its own. I find natural beauty is even prettier then one thats been staged. I enjoy all kinds of photography and everyones own personal choice of what to capture but I have always loved the look of a landscape scene; where the lights is hitting the main object and also adding new colours to the picture. Even how everything around the main object has it's own beautiful touch to it. There are many styles and kinds of photography but of them all, Landscape is my favourite.
