For this photoshoot I have decided to base part of my work on Nick Hannes as I feel that his set of images ‘garden of delight’ may show a clear and strong effect on ones opinions on the way in which different lifestyles; as Nick Hannes captured people doing their daily activities which shows the different ways in which people live in the community. To some extent I feel that Nick Hannes work has a powerful meaning to his viewers as each photograph he has taken is very different with a different meaning behind the photo.
My best photos from shoot 1 –
I feel that these are my best images at they clarity reflect the lifestyle in which someone who lives in Dubai may have. Additionally I also enjoy that these set of photographs all have specific connections and relations throughout. Nick Hannes work inspired my work as his worked helped develop my ideas and thoughts.
My Best Photos from shoot 2 –
These photos completely juxtapose the other images in which I took as they show that in Dubai although it can seem that there’s not much poverty due to the fancy cars you see, skyscrapers as well as numerous other shopping malls. These photos reflect a different community to the other photo shoot as they show different cultures as well as what one may call the “traditional Dubai’ / “The Old Town”.
Overall I feel that this photoshoot went significantly well as I manneged to explore different communities in which Dubai has as well as portray `Nick Hannes ideas. I decided to experiment to see if these photos would look better in black and white; however I felt that that was not the case because you couldn’t see the main details of the photographs as well as the different contrasts and tones throughout.
