i. Kamps seems to focus on exposure in his photos to capture the amount of light he wants shown. Being they are outdoors and in areas of intense daylight, there needs to be an ability to dictate when to under or over expose. Depth of field also is important in Kamps work- the outdoor scenes include detail to as far out as the eye can see, so closing the aperture would be needed.
ii. While he repeatedly has human or scenery in his work, I think he mainly is focusing on the light. Usually the human subject has it's back turned and is not always in focus. Yet there is always detail in where the light is being shown.
iii. The use of daylight draws me to Kamps work. I always struggle to focus on the light rather than the object in my own work, and the way he is able to accept the human as not the main subject in the photograph is wonderful.
