Moodboard: Influence to Artist Reference and Photoshoots

After researching an introduction to structure, I then funneled my inspirations into a mood board. Using this research allowed me to search the correct terminology of scale, shape and pattern related to architecture, conveying the scale and beauty found in buildings.

I decided to research structure in buildings because they a visually pleasing, with good composition, linear formation, symmetry and leading lines. It allowed me to go out and capture interesting architecture, revealing different styles, shapes and sizes. It also revealed the history behind each building I photographed as different textures exposed a certain emotion towards the scenery. For example, an old, desolated building triggered an emotion towards memory; leaving a sense of sadness towards the photograph, giving myself and the viewer an impression of past life that once lived within the melancholy building. Whereas, most my shoots were focused on a stylish, modern approach to building structure. This then formed a vision of sanitation, purity and life, three elements that were supported by the age of the building and how it was able to absorb the crisp light, colour and a strong composure in comparison to the subsided building.

Studying these images also spiraled certain terminology that I proposed on a mind map before going out to capture my shoots.
