Famous Photographer: Trey Ratcliff

Biography
Trey Ratcliff was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. He is an urban and landscape photographer. He has a degree in Computer Science and Math. After spending 35 years within that, he started to explore with his creative side. He started his first blog in StuckInCustoms.com and posted one picture per day, stories and free tutorials. He was born blind in one eye and this was called “The Gift”. He want to help spread consciousness and presence to the world with his photography. Currently he is living in New Zealand with his family.

Artwork
As an urban and landscape photographer, he has deep passion for high tonal ranges and saturated pictures with HDR development. Every year, he always attend the event called Burning Man. Through his lenses, he captures the excitement of going on a adventure and everyday life routine.

Analysis

I like how he blurs the background so that the focus is on the girl. The light shining on the eyes makes the person unique. He focus a lot on the details of the person appearance such as eye, head piece and the hair.


This photo looks as if they came out of a Fairy Tale. The hills looks so soft. What attracted me to the photo was how the water path flow from one side to the other. The water and the grass are very bright which caught my eye instantly. It shows a small village in another perspective.


Usually taking photo in the dark is difficult. But the way light is shown on the man face really makes it look as if it can be done in a second. It really shows how the man is in his element. He blurs the mountain and the water.


I like how he played with the glasses on the building. It looks as there is another building inside. He used the worm eye view. It shows how tall the building is and it changes the perspective of taking picture straight or normal eye viewpoint.  


The sky looks so beautiful. The purple in the sky really makes the picture pop. It's nice to see the photo from a distance. It changes the view completely.

Plan
Since Trey Ratcliff is an urban and landscape photographer, I'll create a poster that makes a soft yet bold impact to it. I'll include photos that has HDR since this is the type of style he works with and where he goes to take picture such as the festival of Burning Man. For the font, I'm going to use something similar to what he has in his blog and position them to the side so that the main focus is on the pictures.
