Frank Gohlke

Frank Gohlke

I chose to research Franks work because I think he’s documented the effects of ‘disaster’ really well by covering a large amount of the area with a range of shooting styles.

My favourite photo by him is the top one because I like how the trees are defined by the sky due to the contrast in tone, which highlights the point that he’s trying to put across. I also like the light that’s falling on the dozer which makes it a point of interest in the foreground, as well as the leading line of the road and the texture it has.
I was particularly interested in this forest section of his work because I recently drove through the  Stang forest which has a similar feel as Mt St Helen; so I will probably go back there at some point in the next ten weeks and try to work in his style.
