The World is Beautiful
The World is Beautiful; Albert Renger Patzsch Resonce.
Alfred renger patzch is a post WW1 photographer. By 1925 he was pursuing a full time career in photography and then by '28, he released a book named "The World is Beautiful". This page is a photographic response to this book of his. I aim to reflect his attempts to photograph his world in mine. His work, I have found, contains a common theme of patterns or close ups of natural forms, all of which are photographed in black and white, which is why I have chosen to make my photographs black and white.

Final Set
My final set of images, in my opinion, didn't do all that I wanted them to and are therefore only partly successful. Due to Renger Patzsch's conditions, all of his photographs were taken in black and white so I made sure this would be maintained in my images. I did this through either taking them in black and white directly using the programme mode on my camera and setting the colour to monochrome. Or, the other way, was through creating a batch action in photoshop in order to change all of my photographs of which I had taken in colour into black and white. Whilst photographing I made an attempt to take equivalent photographs of his but in the modern day although i don't thin k i did this very well. This is partly because I didn't take enough photographs outside of school in which could compete with the ones I took in school, and even those arent the best photographs to use when translating to Patzsch's work
