First of all , I started off with heightening the exposure level as well as creating more contrast with the blacks found in the lines of the buildings. Next I changed the dehaze amount in the image to make the image look more interesting to look at. The shine on the vents I make more clear but enough to look natural. The contrast and exposure within the clouds I have changed to look more exciting and natural.

Outcomes

Evaluation

The outcome of these images relate to Lewis Baltz photography style. This is because he bases his work on 2D subjects such as walls of buildings, door ways, corner of buildings and most of his work is based in black and white. As for some of my work turning out to be better based in colour, some images such as the door ways are edited to black and white which links to Lewis’ style. The contrast in my images are high to express where the strong shadows are formed and where the highlights can be seen. Building seem to have a wide range of lines and shapes to be captured within the walls and windows. This makes a really nice 2D surface to photograph as edges and flat surfaces can be completely different shades to each other. If I was to do this photo-shoot again I would explore some more interesting areas to photograph such as town or bigger buildings such as a block of flats.
