After researching a lot about Rinko Kawauhi’s previous work and photo series I wanted to do my own photo shoot using her images as inspiration. The main aim of the shoot was to capture things with little significance and to portray them in a  unique way that shows their pure beauty.

This shoot was done on the 7th of March at Queens Valley Reservoir. I used a Canon camera to capture the images. The shoot was inspired by the many images by Rinko Kawauchi. Her images contain a spiritual feeling to them and this is what I wanted to create in my own edits. The shoot was just a simple experimental shoot because I wanted to see what different abstract images I could capture in an environment I’ve seen many times. When searching for more particular objects and scenes you become more aware of the environment and you take in much more. I am very happy with the images I managed to collect.

EDITS

When editing the images, I knew I wanted them to be simple and pure. I aimed to keep the natural colours and not manipulate the originals too much. I simply made the images brighter and turned up the vibrancy of the images so that the colour’s were stronger which in turn made the image more appealing.
