Fay Godwin

I'm pretty sure I've mentioned Fay Godwin in a previous post, but I just wanted to write a little about her because I am currently studying her work in photography, and I think she's brilliant. She does a lot of landsape photography, mainly black and white film photography, but she did do a secret lives series, and beach series which I think are my Favourites.
I thought I'd Include some of her photos fom the Secret Lives series. I think I included one of her photos in the 'Some of my favourite photos' blog post. - http://becky-iblog-becky.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/some-of-my-favourite-photos.html




There is something really magical about her photos. They make me think of Thumblina, haha!

If you like Fay Godwin's work, and would like to know more, she has a couple of books of her photos. I borrowed the book  titled 'Landmarks' from my photography teacher in order to do some further research. The book has about 200 pages of her photos on high quality paper, which is really lovely, and it also has an essay by Roger Taylor ( I'm assuming not the one from Queen as it says he is a Photogaphic historian) and an introduction by Simon Armitage, who is a famous poet I studied at GCSE level English.

That is the book i borrowed. You can purchase this book for about £40 on amazon, or other online sites. It is a lot of money but a very nice book.
The other books I found were 'Land' which seems to be about £20. But if you search Fay Godwin Books, you should find them.

Bye for now
