The photographer that I picked is names Gregory Pleau. He is a landscaping photographer rather than a portrait photographer. By looking at his work he seems to take a lot of pictures of people camping or something related to camping.
I really like the first photo of the guy who is taking pictures supposedly but is looking up at the sky instead. The guy is in rule of thirds and to me he is the focal point of this photo. I love the background of it too, the colors, and the texture of it. It is kind of like you are right there. It kind of seems like he used the flash on his camera but only the guy is lit up so I find that really intriguing on what kind of techniques he used to take it like that. I just think that overall this photo is successful. It is very neatly done and it looks as is if there is little to no editing done to it. Along with having only the guy and camera in it, it is a simple photo which in this case worked in his favor. I really don't know what else to write.
This photo is also a landscape photo obviously. There isn't anyone in it this time though. I don't really know if I would consider the canoe and whatever it is behind it in rule of thirds. They're kind of just there in the photo. Kind of in the middle and kind of off to the side. The two paddles against the tree are in rule of thirds however, but they aren't the focal point of this photo. So I don't know if it'll matter that much. I think the red canoe is the focal point of this photo. It is right there in front of you and since whatever kind of light he is using is reflecting off the red it catches your eye. I do like how the light he is using covers a wider space instead of just one thing like in the last photo. The background is darker so it isn't so distracting. I like how exposed the photo is. I don't think exposed is the word I'm wanting to use, but oh well. Bright is maybe the word, but with whatever he is using, you can see the colors and the textures of the landscape and objects better. I think that is what makes this photo successful.
The third photo is combining both objects and people like the first two. I think I like this one the best. The tent is in the rule of thirds and the dude is right in the middle of the photo. They are the focal point for me. They are the only main objects in the picture. The trees in the background kind of help with leading lines but overall the tent and the guy are the only main things there. The lighting he used is on or in the tent. I can't tell. It kind of looks like he has a light somewhere else but I don't know for sure. It makes the tent stand out and the guy lit up so he stands out as well. I like how simple this picture is. By looking at all of the photos he's taken, I can tell he is really passionate about the outdoors. Just about all of his photos are taken in the outdoors. He must have a real big connection with it.
