Mark Adams is best known for his dynamic, sharp and panoramic images. The strident and celestial photography of Mark Adams uses the simple but elegant combination of waterways and forestry landscapes, while showcasing an intense exposure and gain with a strange surreal sense of adversity. He then uses the very advanced skills of using a wide lens to get a panoramic view. The moment of supremacy and simplicity is captured; with every acme and apex of detail taking its own supple and agile shape, the result of this almost makes the images look like they are from an anomalous landscape full of variance and modification as it changes into a state of conversion. This style of Precision art is captured by having a meticulous image, but still have an insignificance and trivial oddness about the image, to truly show the shapes which are to reveal streams
My first image shows the Amphitheatre in Pompeii, Italy. This was one of my personal favourite images because off the smoothness between the separate image as you are able to see a certain curve throughout the simplistic images. Then the Roman architecture inspires another thought about the Pompeii Amphitheatre
In this second image you see a pine tree on the edge of Mt Vesuvius. Next the dark grey sky which brings power to the image, as your eyes are drawn towards the tree and the background ensures this. So you focus on the pinnacle sized details upon the leaves, although hard to notice as they have adapted to survive in the high urban environments.
You are able to see the Faraglioni Rocks, the symbol of Capri Island, Italy. You are also able to see the bareness of the see, once again bringing your eyes to the bold pillars in the sea
In this image you are able to see the southern side of the Capri Islands. The utter composition of this village like feel; being an entire island, in the mist almost forgotten, the truly astonishing factor is that how much wealth and power the island has over the Bay of Naples with their own port and multiple 5 star hotels reaped across the island.
In this image you can see the Bay of Naples from the peak of Mt Vesuvius, while on the left hand side a pyroclastic flow, where the lava would have rushed down the mountain towards Naples. This is a main root for the Red Zone Italy which means if there were an eruption there would be a 95% chance of death.
In this image you are shown the side of Mt Vesuvius, forestry. With an aim if Mt Vesuvius were to erupt it would slow the pyroclastic flow giving the residents in the Red Zone a further chance to get out of the area. If there were to be an eruption the beautiful village of Herculaneum would be destroyed, wiping out decades of Roman and Greek architecture.
This is an image displaying Capri Island next to its beautiful seascape. Showing off the bay and ports of the great Capri Island, this image almost gives you an idea of what happens on the island in this secluded area. With a very much community based area; an aspect of classes as the southern part of the island is for the rich at which point the northern is for the poor classes with some poverty.
Here you are shown a simple bush from the peak of Mt Vesuvius. In more depth the bush you are shown is full of odd but yet eye catching lines. This bush looks so unique because it has adapted to the high altitude with its spiny architecture.
My personal favourite image of my collection is this image showing the Alps from a Bowing 737 Jet. This marvellous manner, style and design of the curving sweeps across the mountainous terrain, taken from a bird of steel, it captures the artist’s imagination.
Next in my collection you are witnessed to yet another herbal plant on the edge of life from the crowing of the destructive Mt Vesuvius. Then the blurred foreground completes the image as it draws the eyes to the imitable scrubland plant.
In this image you see a port in Capri Island on our arrival on the John Smith & Shark Jet Ferry. You are then shown an array of boats for tourists to cruise the island upon.
Another astonishing image from my collection is this Black & White image of Mt Vesuvius. With a high contrast level replicating my chosen artist ‘Mark Adams’ method in taking both rural and urban landscapes, making you take a second glance at the image before turning the page.
In this image you are shown the cliff face of Capri Island in close proximity Faraglioni, a group of three pillars in the sea next to the Monks Cathedral. Where they make their gracious perfume Carthanzia; it is still made there in the Monks palace hence the hefty price tag.
In this image you see another extreme part of Mt Vesuveis from the very peak. Showing you the pyroclastic flow.
On my last group of images in my collection, you are shown an image showing the ferry docking into Capri Island. In the background the mountainous areas surrounding Capri; here you are shown the ‘lonely mountains’.
In one of my most inspired images you are shown the curve of Italy in the Bay of Naples. Here you are shown a massive sweep going across the island giving its iconic shape in the Atlas, of the extremely famous horseshoe.
In one of the most outrageously remarkable images while on my flight to Italy, you are able to see the renowned alps in all of their splendour. The superb curving lines and shapes of the beautiful landscape in the environment many call ‘godly’. You may only be able to see this for a few brief moments; they are some of the best you can see while on a flight heading towards Italy.
In my very last image of my entire collection you are shown the rocky landscape at ‘Sulphatara’ an active volcanic crater leaking a gas that may smell absolutely revolting but it is worth it for the views that it has to offer,
