Research On Amanda Norman

Amanda Norman:

One of the main reasons I have chosen to do research on Amanda Norman is because she does both landscape images of Gothic objects and areas, and she does horror portraits of people. So she is a great combination of the landscape horror and portrait. Most of her work is in black and white which I think works very well because it adds to the Gothic nature of her images and it also adds to the scare value of the images she creates.

This image shows a rather creep graveyard covered in fog. This makes the overall image scary because the dead could emerge from the ground at anytime.

This image depicts a rather creepy graveyard with a long road in the middle that disappears off into the fog. The fog and frost are the two main features of the image that make it scary and Gothic.

Here we see an angel atop of a stone. The darkness of the image makes it hard to really see any defining features of the angel we only have the basic wing structure because it is illuminated by the light in the background.

Here we see a rather dark image of an another angel in a graveyard. She is overshadowed by the church itself which creates a rather gloomy and eerie setting.

Amanda Norman has influenced me to get a wider range of horror imagery. Mainly to get more images of Gothic landscapes and structures. This would work very well with my work because it would then show a wide variety of images in my work. This would be ideal because then it also allows me to explore into the realm of making horror photos while only using landscapes or man-made structures.

The best way to sum-up Amanda Norman would be to use the word Gothic. This is the style of work she mainly uses and it works very well with all of her images because she is very well experienced with taking these kinds of photos.
