Plan

What: This shoot represents the view of abandoned places how they are merge with nature, and how nature can always find the way to fight and continue growing .
When: I decided to do the shoot in the middle of the day to full appreciate nature in all its glory.
Why: As in my last shoot, Im trying to make aware of the damage we are doing to the planet and especially show how nature is wise and we dont know how to respect it.

Comparison

Both of the images are taken from the outside so there’s use of natural lights, the light is soft. The main thing on the two images are the buildings covered in green, the nature that continues to grow on these buildings. The shapes are not the same, Yves Marchand & Romain Meffre have geometric shapes on their image since the building is a repetitive pattern of rectangles mine on the other hand there more organic shapes since the rocks on the building are curvy. However in my picture, the contrast between the lights and the shadow on the building create straight edged so geometric shapes. In Yves Marchand & Romain Meffre’s image we can see shade in the building which creates depth and creates more space. There’s also negative space above the building since the photographers decided to take picture of the sky as well on the contrary of my picture in which we do not find a lot of negative space. On both of the images we can find to types of texture one soft (plants) and the other as strong as a rock we can recognize these textures by the soft lines on the plants while the buildings and the stones have stronger lines. The colour pallets are roughly the same we find grey, different types of green, blue, brown, yellow…

Test 1 b/w

Test 2 Blur

I wanted to edit my photos to explore new ideas and meanings. To create a story between humans and nature. For that I used photoshop. I decided to use different special effects like black and white, blur… For the first picture I used the lasso tool to select the middle after that I inversed to select only the outside part of the it . I choose to put the outside in black and white because I wanted to give an more sad atmosphere to it. I highlighted the objects to show the waste. For the second picture I decided to use the lasso tool again to have two parts one that is full of rubbish and the other that is clean. To create the part full of waste I cut out parts of chairs from another photos then I pasted them on my image. With these effects I want to show a side that we could have if we do not pay attention to what surrounds us. The two tests represent the waste that we live with. For the third one I decided to do something simpler I use a picture from my second shoot because it had more nature to it. I just use the blur tool to demonstrate the nature vanishing bit by bit.
