For my second photoshoot in response to The New Topographics, I decided to take pictures in the old town of Mojacar. This location has a maze of narrow streets, white houses and trailing bougainvillaea. The old town clings to a rocky hillside. This was another great location to take pictures because it is an unusual urban development built by the Moors. The viewer can clearly see how man has altered this land through the architecture upon the landscape.

After the photoshoot, I put all the images onto a contact sheet to make a selection of the best images in response to The New Topographics. The selected images have then been edited on VSCO so I could make the images appear like film by adding filters and grain. Most of the final outcomes have remained in colour while one image has been turned black and white.

Evaluation

This photoshoot was successful as I managed to capture 50 images of urban development whilst I was in the old town of Mojacar. This meant that I had several photos to select from. I captured various pictures of different architecture to show the control and power human beings have over nature. I think my pictures reflect the style of the photographers involved in The New Topographic since my final outcomes have a banal aesthetic of the urban landscape.
