Don't Tread On Me - Ben Rayner

I came across Ben Rayner a few years ago when I was doing my A level in photography and I still think he is a fabulous photographer. This series 'Don't Tread On Me' is one of my favourite series' and I feel as if it connects with the kind of images that I'm trying to create. 

Over all the times I've done a study on Rayner's work I've become very fond of the characters he chooses to shoot. In this set of photographs I feel as if it's more photojournalism as there is almost a story that's being told throughout the set of images. He not only shoots the people but almost sets the scene by capturing the surroundings and clothing which helps to paint the scene. His ability to capture the emotion and moment of every image really makes you feel as if you were at the scene and lived it yourself which is such a special talent that involves a lot of patience and making sure you're in the right place at the right time.
