Jon McCormack is one of the photographers who liked some of my images of the Californian sea lions on Instagram, so I decided to look him up.
He is an award winning photographer who is based in California, and who photographs a variety of different subjects, such as wildlife photography, street photography, landscape photography and portrait photography.
These two images I found on his site I chose as they are related to the subject that I focused my project on.

I like his use of a black and white filter in these images, as it shows a greater contrast between the shadows and the light. the close-up of the seal in the first image is unique due to the facial expression of the animal, yet I really like the composition of the second image as it seems natural and almost chaotic. Both have great focus and detail showing.

The composition in this image is brilliant, as thought has obviously been put into where the best place to take the image would be, and at what angle. The entire scene is in the shot, and although the foreground and background are related, they could easily be two separate photographs.

I like this portrait as it is simple yet captivating. The use of singular primary colours draws the viewers attention to the man straight away, as the image isn't too busy with distractions of other object and colours. The foreground is slightly out of focus, adding perspective and a sense of distance, but not enough to remove the attention from the subject of the photo.
