Tony Howell











Tony Howell is one of England's best-known landscape photographers, and is based in Somerset. His style is instantly recognizable - simple, uncluttered compositions and an overall sense of peace and stillness borne out of his deep love of the land.

As well as landscape photography im interested in flower photography. Tony Howell is photographer who does both. I prefer his images to others ive seen. Ive looked at a lot of flower photos which seem fake, and edited too much. They have been taken in studios rather than outside in the garden or where ever. Tony photos have been taken outside, making them seem more real and alive.
I like how simple the photos appear. He only uses one type of flower in his photos.
Im going to try and get down to the botanical gardens in Birmingham at some point. Try and take some photos of the flowers down there. I don't know how well my kit lens with be at these close up shots, i prefer to use a lens designed for macro photography.
