Planning

I will be taking pictures of Fort Henry, a coastal defense built before the German occupation which was repurposed into a German defense, and the two spotlight observation bunkers situated to the north and south of the fort. I will be using a tripod for my outcomes in order to capture the subjects as deadpan as a response to the Bechers with their typologies. I will edit a few of my outcomes to create a manipulated landscape as a response to Andreas Gursky.

Photoshoot

Selection & Edits

Evaluation

I believe the photoshoot went well as the weather was clear and sunny, which provided good lighting for recording my subjects. I also was able to produce deadpan images in response to the Becher’s typologies, I believe these outcomes were successful as the images were even and flat. I believe I wasn’t as successful when editing my response to Gursky as the borders of two of the images I was splicing together didn’t blend well, resulting in a large section of terrain being lighter.
