Here are my favourite outcomes from my urban and altered landscape photo-shoot, these pieces have been done with inspiration and influence from The New Topographics.
With these photographs I have aimed to present my raw camera skills and display the pure aesthetic pleasure of man made landscapes and how man made structures can impact natural landscapes.
Here is my raw Urban & Altered landscape photo-shoot. I have visually annotated the contact sheets of the shoot in order to help myself when picking out my favourite images to edit or put aside. My favourite outcomes from this photo-shoot will be presented in my following blog post.
I decided to learn more about abstract and formalism as I want to produce Many of my own images that mainly focus upon a structure-being a building ,and a close up from of a whole image and scenario.I found a photographer who I thought captured beautiful images and a movement within a solid object and how he enhances these images within using light.
I believe that I am going to start focusing more upon surrealism within how nature and architecture within buildings works together,So I believe that if i do some experimentation within the lines and structure inside buildings and what surrounds me could too be efficient.I also think the color of tones will too work well within the work in which I am going to focus my attention purely within.I chose to do this small study because I do believe it will help me to access a more architectural and tonal sense of eye that will help when developing my typology study of building in order to produce my final image of forming nature landscapes and architectural urban landscapes.
Due to my plan of studying architectural and a structural sense this allows me to capture how lines and such can enhance my overall image and also how and what angles would show a more three dimensional pattern that would also benefit me as this is what my artists does too. This could also help when producing a mirrored effect within my images and finding a fine line to cross and or using a sea mirroring effect or wanting to capture the structure within a moving object.
I do think that studying this small experiment shoot has helped to develop an Idea of how I will capture the buildings and shows a sense of line using tone and light within the images. I could always possibly use some of these works in order to show how I could finish the other shots that I have done.
