The aim of psycho-geography is to be familiar with a certain area, and to essentially explore it. To do this I will be focusing on a small urban area within town, to which I will try to become more familial with its surroundings in order to take the photos needed. This is the area I have chosen:To add to my research of the area to be explored, I decided that it would be appropriate to take street view shots in order to have a bit of an insight before hand of the area.Part of the main area I am exploring is the car park, however now has been transformed into the International Finance Centers, with much of it still under construction. Other areas include Liberty Wharf, which was once known as a former abattoir that was restored and converted for the use of a shopping centre.

Some artists that have inspired me in the shoot consist of  Mishka Henner and The Boyle Family. Henner tended to focus on more satellite/birds eye view techniques of the landscape around the world to create vivid and mind-boggling imagery, to which in some cases he would distort them to create more abstract pictures. Some examples of their work can be seen below:As seen above Henner very much focuses on satellite imagery as his main source of art. One technique commonly seen in his work is shaped pixels, this can be done through selecting an area and finding the main color present in that space, to then convert it to just that singular color.

The Boyle Family however take a very different stance on psycho-geography, as seen below:They tend to focus on how the different textures of the floors can create the pattern to make aesthetically pleasing imagery. The images taken are of everyday generic objects that we take for granted and don’t see the patterns within them.
