PHILIP HYDE
Original Doc (With Photos)
Background
Philip Hyde is referred to as an underappreciated master in the photographic art. He dedicated his life to defending the Western Wildlife. He even built a house in the Sierra Mountains in Nevada so he can be with nature. He also was a pioneer in introducing and showing that colored photographs are worth taking and presenting. He studied under Ansel Adams at the San Francisco Art Institute. Even after he went blind in 2000 his son continued on the photographic tradition in the family.
Style of Photography
He traditionally likes to take photographs of landscapes like rivers and mountains. Occasionally you can find a picture of a forest or two. In the photos that are in color he likes to have bright colors that catch your eye and make you want to look at more. This created cool pictures with lots of things you can look at. This is partially why I picked him. His photos are really pretty and he took so many.
Philosophy
In Philip’s photographs he shows the beauty of nature and how it is a thing that we should protect. This is what he stands for, he wants to protect nature. His photographs helped protect many national sites including the Grand Canyon, Dinosaur Monument, and The Coast Redwoods. His photos helped show people that nature is beautiful and we need to protect it so everyone can experience this beauty. And he did in fact succeed getting his point across.
Influence
His photos have influenced many people who enjoy taking pictures of landscapes. This is what I was inspired by. I like the beauty of nature and if i can capture that i think that the photo is definitely worth taking a look at. This is evident in the landscape pictures that I take. He also influenced the whole photography art in the way that he was one of the first photographers ever to use colored photographs, and this is a very important thing in the photography world.

MY PHOTOS
Comparisons
The photos are in the same position as the one they are recreated as. For instance the top left is a recreation of the top left. I took the top left one because i thought the mostly blue sky kinda resembled the same as his picture and the tree branch although not the same color it's still a tree. The second photo is in the top right and is my personal favorite. It shows a snowy forest and that is the photo that he took. It looks almost identical in my opinion and even in black and white you can tell that it is a forest in snow. The third and final picture shows a tree from underneath. This is why I took the picture from underneath the tree! This is probably my second favorite even though there's only three.
Artist Statement
These pictures come together to show the beauty of nature and trees the way that Philip Hyde wanted it to be seen. This is what he stood for and wanted to show how people need proserve nature. Without things like trees along with life not even being possible because of oxygen, it also creates a cool aesthetic that is really amazing to look at. Without it we wouldn’t have anything but boring gray buildings to look at. It just adds so much color to a normal boring life.
