Planning

Task: Take 100+ photos that explore the concept of typologies

Camera settings: I will be using an ISO of 100 with a shutter speed of 1/20 mainly in order to allow the image to be as high quality as possible but this may have to be adapted slightly for darker environments.

Lighting: I will be using daylight for the majority of my photographs but photographs taken inside the car park may be captured with flash or with the car park lights.

Location: Waterfront underground car park and Jacksons car centre.

Context: I will be taking photographs with the work of Typologists in mind.

My Favourite Photograph

In this photograph I used the artificial lighting the waterfront underground car park. This lighting allowed the photograph to be contrasted with the correct amount of exposure. An aperture of f18 was used for this photograph to ensure that the whole of the photograph was in focus with a deep depth of field. I used a shutter speed of 1/20 along with an ISO of 200 to allow enough light to enter the lens whilst keeping the quality of the photograph as best as possible.

There is no colour in this photograph – only black and white. This creates a rustic/old-fashioned styled photograph. There is not a massively wide tonal range in the photograph but the contrasting tones are right next to eachother so it gives a more dramatic effect. It is quite a 2D photograph as it only has one close-up subject with no foreground or background.

This photograph is part of a collection of typology photographs that I took which include the fronts of cars up close in order to show the differences between similar structures on the Earth. I took inspiration for the style of photograph (rustic) from the Bechers’ but instead of photographing the same subjects as them I decided to choose my own typology whilst taking inspiration from their style.
