This is my favourite image that I produced throughout the whole of my coursework and each genre of photography we covered. I like it because it was during the landscape project that I realised the creativity in taking a photograph doesn't have to end once it is taken, yet a set of photographs can be fused together to make something ultimately better than one image. This photograph consists of many industrial buildings from around St.Helier. When some these buildings are seen standing alone they look dull and ugly with its only purpose is for practical reasons. But, when they are mixed with buildings of the opposite with architecture only created for the pleasance of its view, the ugly and the pretty compliment each other and create a grand fantasised superstructure.

The focal point of the image is the yellow telephone box I kept in colour. I did this because I wanted to target the attention onto an object that has been neglected by the uprising of mobile phones. 

The image doesn't necessarily make sense in terms of lighting but I had to make use of the natural light I had on the day of the photoshoot. In a way however, it creates a deeper depth of field with the buildings further back darker than the buildings at the front. This doesn't destroy the illusion of the superstructure because of the choice I made to make it black and white, mirroring the work of Beomsik Won. 

During the composition of the image was the most artistic I felt during the whole project I found out that my creativity wasn't limited in the actions of taking a photograph and printing it off.
