Why I chose Silvia:
The reason why I chose to study the work of Silvia Olsen was due to the way her website stood out to me placing words in a cleverly structured way. Although Olsen is mainly a fashion photographer, shooting Street Style for Vogue and Elle, when looking deeper into her personal photography I found that she had taken many images related to travelling and also conforming to the Journey topic. One of the reasons her work stood out to me was due to the clarity of her work. Every image I have seen her take appears to be of the highest quality, with flawless editing and bright bold colours. These eye catching images include models walking around London in bright clothes showcasing the street style, iconic scenery from America and the calmest images of beaches. Nearly all of her images differ in their style, yet the topic of photography remains the same. For example, she cleverly showcases the hustle and bustle of the busiest cities in the world. By using bold colours and enhancing every image in Photoshop by changing their contrast, it makes the audience remember her work and allows it to stick out from the rest. As a photographer, Silvia Olsen is the perfect all rounder as she takes images in all aspects of photographer. Whether it be landscapes, portraits or street photography, they are edited flawless and explore a range of different perceptions a place can show.

| This shot shows a yellow car parked in the middle of a road, while a colourful fun fair is shown to be illuminating the background. This image stood out to me due to the bold colours which are explored through the bright yellow car. It is unknown whether the image was edited like this, or if it was taken as a still and untouched. Either way, there are complimenting colours which all explore the feelings of happiness among the spectator. The calm blue sky, with the tall green palm trees and the yellow car to break them up. This image conforms to all the iconography we would expect of an American country whether it be the USA itself or Havana in Cuba. |

| This image shows a city skyline among a background of a plethora of colours. Although it could be said that there is a lot of negative space in this image, the skyline is a nice contrast between this and the other colours. There is a clear difference between the dark industrial skyline and the light calm sky. The colours explore a feeling of tranquility, and give off warm feelings as the spectator is able to see the beautiful colours of the sky. The warm orange colour is a strong contrast between the natural beauty and the dark skyline, exploring the city below. |

| This image is one of the most beautiful images which conforms to the Journey topic. The journey is shown through the movement of the clouds in the sky, as they are making a journey from one side to the other. There is also another journey shown through the still image of the male pushing the bike along the beach. The footprints in the sand also show a journey, as they show the movement of people in the sand. There are waves present towards the back of the horizon, which draws attention to a different form of Journey as we can tell the waves are forever morning up the shore and therefore creating a journey. |

| This image shows a young female stood in the centre of a frame with two suitcases by her side. This shows the topic of Journey as it allows the viewer to see the female waiting to travel, with her suitcases by her side. The image is quite clean, and stands out to the viewer. I like the way in which the model is stood in the centre of the frame. |
