I’m planning to take photographs of industrialised areas and buildings for urban photography.
When you conducting the shoot?
I am going to take the photographs over the weekend at around 4:30 when it starts to get darker to give the photos a gloomy effect.
Where are you working?
I will be going to La Collette and the harbour.
Why you designing this shoot in this way?
I’ve designed this way because there will be enough daylight to get good quality photographs and enough darkness to add to the urban landscapes effect.
How are you going to produce this image?
In order to take the photos I will be using my iPhone camera.
This could be in the style of Tanja Deman as in its a landscape and urban picture stitched together, but isnt in her classic black and white, and is less dramatic
This is in the style of some dude i cant remember but i liked the extreme use of reptition, that makes the image confusing and difficult to understand
This isnt inspired by anyone but i wanted to incorporate lines and colour contrast, with the black and white busy background cut by the bright triangle and dome of the fort regent building
For this image i took inspiration from Keld Helmeder-Petersen and his black light style, using it to darken the center of the scaffolding to slowly get lighter outward, but still stand out from the grey sky behind
In this image i liked how cluttered it was in the background, and so thought by focusing on the box in the center,, and further leaving it unedited, would bring immediate attention to the worn out shoe box in the foreground
For this image i selected specific areas in the busy urban landscape, and changed the vibrance and contrast to highlight them, and then slightly enlarge them to further emphasize. My favourite section is the white building near the front as its very vibrant, and also the Victoria college building as its on the horizon and was easy to pick out, especially above the greenery.
I liked the focus of the lettering on this image, through the cage as the repeating lines add a nice effect with the highlight of the white on the text and the side of the wire
Keld Helmer-Petersen is a Danish photographer, who was born August 20 1920. He accomplished a huge global recognition during the 1940’s for his incredible abstract art. His most well-know works include a series of pure black and white images that show the contrast between the shadows and highlights. The images he produces have no grey or shades other than solid black and solid white. This helps to show the contrast he is capturing.
These images I though really showed the contrast best and they came out well. For some of the edits, I used the threshold adjustment on photoshop first to make the images black and white like these. However I didn’t like the way some of them looked as they were too black or too white. So I copied the layer, made one photo more black and one more white then rubbed out the parts I didn’t want to get a balanced level in the images. Overall, I am happy with all of these outcomes.
