Their Image

My Image

For this photoshoot I took a lot of inspiration from Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre. A key similarity within these images are that they are both taken horizontally, they also are both mostly empty rooms. Another similarity between these images is that they are both very tonal dull images with the only colour being the tarpaulin on the floor in my image. Both images are taken in natural lighting which can be seen coming through the windows in both images. The interior of the buildings in both images are also very clearly abandoned as an extreme amount of ceiling tiles have fell out of the ceiling in the first image and the ceiling is decaying and dripping water in the image that I took. A difference with these images is that the first image has been taken straight on of a rectangular room and my image is taken at an angle of a more geometric room. In the first image the room is also less bright as it is a bigger room with smaller windows. In my image the room is well lit and bright as the whole unseen wall is full of large windows. In both images there are abandoned items, as seen in the bottom right corner of the first image and the left side of my image. I believe that with the inspiration I got from Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre I took a lot of images that well represent Anthropocene.
