All of these amazing artists have a common but unique sense to their own photographs. From the nature photographers Have a lot of info upon landscape nature photography and they can also teach mehow to use certain plants to an advantage. With Light Photography I think I can learn how to become more creative. while also learning how to angle and use the light source to bend and stuff.

What makes all of their work stand out is that they each focus on different parts of the photograph. They also all have their own specific style of photography.
