Born on the 4 th of March 1967, Sam Taylor Johnson is an English Photographer and filmmaker. Originally known as Sam Taylor Wood, she started to display her fine art photography in the 1990s. One of the series on her website that I found quite interesting was a group of photos under the title “lone rider”. The photos are taken of lone isolated cars and motorcycles from a side view and the images are all black and white with the shadows and vignetting increased. Looking at the photos I get the feeling of peacefulness and tranquillity as the car is in the centre of the frame, this reflects the simplicity of life. These vehicles are made to be on busy roads, driven at speed and constantly used, which is why it’s peaceful to see them at rest, to see them standing alone. To try and recreate this I will be locating lone cars which are situated in front of a brick wall or a simplistic . I will then try and get the best composition to try and get a similar outcome to Sam Taylo
