Final Image

I chose this image as my final piece out of the three as it contains similarities from both the other final images through their geometrical designs and similar triangular shapes that I previously created with the paper. I also chose this photograph as I did not want my project to to turn into an art project and wanted to create variation within my work. This photo was taken with inspiration from Hilla and Bernd Becher’s work in my typologies homework, but I also think it contains elements from other homeworks (such as line, repetition and pattern as well as abstract and texture) which is why i chose it.

This photograph uses Ansel Adams zone system with contrasts from light to dark within the picture creating a photo with varied tones. One reason I like this photo is because of the reflection in which the building has that mirrors the clouds from behind, making the building bright on one side, and dark on the other. This photo also shows repetition through the thin black lines on the building creating a pattern, contrasting with the other side which does not. The building also has a thin black line outlining it, emphasising the structural properties as well as abstract appearance that it has. The fast shutter speed and sharp focus used to take the photo shows the details on the building as well as the clouds behind also showing texture and pattern. The composition of this photograph is aesthetically pleasing through its symetrical appearance.

Overall this project has allowed me to develop my understanding and knowledge of camera skills, and my ability to take better photographs, as well as allowing me to explore artists linking to my work in depth.
