Analysis –

I am going to work in Sheeler’s style and have his influence within my work because I believe that this photo taken by Charles Sheeler because is a successful representation of industrial/rural photography because it shows a pipe of some sort, from a factory which is currently working as you can see the smoke which is produced which can create the idea of how these fumes are impacting the atmosphere due to mans creations. I also like how this photo has been taken in black and white and brought in different grey tones as it can help show how old tis factory may be and how it hasn’t been around for only a short period of time, instead a long one. I think that the texture also adds a layer of depth and feel to the photograph as it makes it look very heavy, strong and industrial as many factory machines would have this exterior.
