CONTENT / CONCEPT / CONTEXT

The process and geometrical element of my photo shoots were based on locations that consisted of the ongoing commercial impact on housing estates and apartments offices. Approaching my photo shoot with this modernistic approach enrolled a perspective of how society has become a very repetitive, monotonous lifestyle for man-kind. I noticed how the apartments formed a stack of homes, giving the impression that our leisure has become compressed and so structured due to the economical demand of widespread finance offices that have harshly populated our environment. 

As part of my process, I also referred my work to Van Damme and how his work involves the presence of light within his structures. I planned half my shoots on capturing angles within light, hence the shadow features within most my images. I believe this effect enabled me to express a higher status of leading lines. This effect also created a contrast, which then spiraled my idea of merging my knowledge of two-frame filming and also David Hackneys technique of ‘joiners’. This contrast formed a juxtaposition within the image, conflicting both light and darkness within structure. 

I also linked my photo shoots to Nikola Olic and Julian Schulze who both focus their work on geometric abstraction and compositions that lacked in huge details or decoration. The simplicity of this effect gave me inspiration to replicate abstract shapes that are presented on frontal surfaces, both artists also use a variety of bold colours to liven the scenic view of urbanisation.
