John Pfahl
John Pfhal (February, 17, 1939) is an American photographer who is known for his landscape photography. He taught photography for over a decade, educating many important contemporary photographers. His word process tends to involve the creation of a series of images that combine the conceptual and perceptual with landscapes of the natural world.

The photographs above a from a series called ‘Metamorphoses De La Terre 2010.’ The flow-patterned landscapes prompted him to experiment with his computer to change the accelerated geological forces of nature. He then went to the deserts of the American Southwest, and took many landscape photographs. He photographed multiple layers of limestone, sandstone and mudstone, which all had different shapes, textures and colours.

I like these photographs as I like the way John has changed the direction of the lines in the original photograph. I like how he has photographed different textures and surfaces to create these photographs. The lines makes the viewer think about what the actual photograph is of. If I were to interpret these photographs then I would take photos of different textures, and then I would edit it using Photoshop to create lines, which will stretch part of the image.
