An Example of Duncan's Work:
Duncan Philpot is a photographer who specialises in action/adventure photography. His main focus in this in Photojournalism (that is often used editorially or for commercial use). His work is best known for shooting bike races and other adventurous things as is shown above.
This is an interesting example of Duncan's work because it has a deep depth of perception and it follows the rule of thirds quite well. This is because the focus of the image is not straight in the centre (like a conventional photograph) and this makes it more interesting. Also this image captures movement, without making the image blurry which shows skill as there is only a small time frame in order to get the shot. The furrow that acts as the bike course also acts like leading lines in the photo, which guides the audience too see what you want them to see in a set order, much like a story teller but in an image.
The genre of this photo is Photojournalism and sports photography. This is shown by the bike being slightly out of focus which shows movement.
The purpose of this photograph could be an exhibition piece or a gallery/display piece. This is because he is a photographic artist and the photo generates interest in the audience and is a high quality piece.
The meaning of his work is to show energy and speed in a photo and to make the image aesthetically pleasing and to show the difficulty to do both the photography and the sport he is portraying.
