Let’s take a look at the top 27 most influential landscape photographers to give you a taste of the outdoors. 1. Justin Minns Piper's art between 1940 until the early 1950s speaks of a wider revival of interest in the art and ideas of the eighteenth-century Romantic period, which emphasised emotion and individualism while glorying in the past and in nature. This introspective post-war mood propelled Piper and other artists and writers towards an imaginative regeneration of English art by focusing on its landscape, heritage and traditions.

Phillip Slotte is another young landscape photographer. He is based in Sweden and his work has been featured in National Geographic and many others. Slotte presents you with dramatic landscapes that lean toward the darker side. Burtynsky’s photographic career is bigger than landscape photography. He is a Ukrainian photographer who is known as one of the best landscape photographers. Every scene is made with a feeling that you can step into the landscape. There are no artificial colors or HDR effects. Just nature and natural light. I would say he is one of the best landscape photographers.There is a wide range of styles when you look at landscape photography. As you will see from this list, composition is the most important factor while on location. This is then closely followed by how you handle the light. Spring flowers and birdsong render woodland full of colour and noise making walking in woodland during spring a delightful experience. On the woodland floor look out for colourful bluebells and other delicate flower species attuned to the dappled light filtering down through the canopy, and flitting between them a range of indigenous butterflies. At dusk you might bump into a Badger emerging from its sett, or see deer of various species wandering and foraging. From Chapter 3: "...Theodore at length determined to repair to the forest that Matilda had pointed out to him. Arriving there, he sought the gloomiest shades, as best suited to the pleasing melancholy that reigned in his mind. In this mood he roved insensibly to the caves which had formerly served as a retreat to hermits, and were now reported round the country to be haunted by evil spirits. He recollected to have heard this tradition; and being of a brave and adventurous disposition, he willingly indulged his curiosity in exploring the secret recesses of this labyrinth. He had not penetrated far before he thought he heard the steps of some person who seemed to retreat before him."

During summer, the seabird cliff colonies are vibrant, bustling and noisy with activity as parent birds to-and-fro fetching and carrying food for their offspring. For the remainder of the year, the cliffs may be wild and dramatic, but the only sounds are the sea and wind as the seabirds spend most of the year at sea. The salt spray, and frequent strong winds from the sea mean that only special hardy plants can make their homes here on the ledges and cliff tops. Perhaps the best known of these is the purply-pink thrift that thrives beside cliff-top walks. Sea Thrift in flower There, he guides photography workshops around these unforgiving areas. You can tell he is familiar with the landscape. And this familiarity has captured the essence of the landscape perfectly. Through her post-processing techniques, she comes up with surreal scenes. These scenes portray landscapes and how they appear when we idealize them in our heads. The dominant style was revised in the early 19th century to include more " gardenesque" [32] features, including shrubberies with gravelled walks, tree plantations to satisfy botanical curiosity, and, most notably, the return of flowers, in skirts of sweeping planted beds. This is the version of the landscape garden most imitated in Europe in the 19th century. The outer areas of the "home park" of English country houses retain their naturalistic shaping. English gardening since the 1840s has been on a more restricted scale, closer and more allied to the residence.

Piper's embrace of abstract art reflects a wider tendency in the 1930s to evolve a distinctive British strand of modernism. In 1934, Piper was elected to the Seven and Five Society. Founded in 1919 as a traditional exhibiting group, it underwent a radical and progressive transformation in the 1930s under the leadership of Ben Nicholson to become the abstract-constructivist wing of British art. At the same time, Piper supported the ambitions of Myfanwy Evans, his partner and future wife, to launch and edit AXIS: A Quarterly Review of “Abstract” Painting & Sculpture. Published between 1935 and 1937, it was the first magazine in Britain devoted to international abstract art. One of these landscape photographers on the list should quench your thirst for nature. Be sure to look into each photographer and study their style. Eventually, you will find your own, but only if you put in the time outdoors. So get exploring! Ralevska has her own unique style. She is a photographer who is very aware of the landscape and what can be done with it.
