Contextual Analysis of Michael Rauner.

Michael Rauner born in 1969 is a Photographer from San Francisco. Many pieces of work is exhibited in galleries and museums across America.
One of Rauner's photographic pieces I like most is called 'Hidden Valley, Joshua Tree National Park.'. 
The reason I chose to look at this piece for inspiration is because I really like the way the image is focused on a single tree in the centre yet the landscape is a wide shot.
This consist of two photographs taken from different positions but when printed the branches connect to link the photographs.
The day light helps show the contrast in colours of the dark tree and the light sunny background.
Rauner has produced multiple image that look similar in layout and theme but of different objects. 
I looked at this image as the theme of the photograph matches my chosen theme of landscape. This could be great for inspiration as the two images connected by an object in the centre of the image can be attractive.
