Paul Grover

Grover is a photographic journalist for the Times newspaper he has done features about last years floods; he took an  interesting view trying to capture the hight and width of the waves as it crashed over a sea wall in North Devon: Homes have been evacuated in coastal areas as Britain braces for dangerous flooding as severe winds sweep in from the Atlantic.

The Environment Agency has issued 21 of its most serious flood warnings advising of flooding and a risk to life across Wales and England.

I liked this image as you can almost see the houses bracing themselves before the wave hits. I also liked how he managed to capture the varsity and magnitude of the wave as  it rises in the air. I feel that this picture does portray the whole story as it shows how bad the storms were as they first start to hit the towns and villages along the coast, plus it does also show what these towns looked like before the storm hit. 

He has also done other articles such as David Cameron accepting leader ship;

I enjoy the hierarchy of this image as the high angle portrays David Cameron as having power, as now he does due to him now in this photography becoming Prime Minister. I also like how he managed to capture the moment where he goes to shake The Speaker's hand, as this is a very important time . I also like the shadows in the background as it also shows the handshake, but from a different angle and viewpoint. I feel that this picture does capture the story of David Cameron winning the election well as it shows his immediate power and leadership. However, I feel as if The Speak should be included within the shot as he does play an important role in the scenario and therefore he should be seen in the shot and not just his shadow.
