Analysis –

This picture taken by Rut Blees Luxemburg of a part of a building during the evening/night time is a successful picture which I really like and going to take inspiration from so that I can bring their influence into my own work during my photoshoots because I like how there are different shapes from the building which can create a range of different shadows, which it has done in this photo, as it uses the light from streetlights or surrounding lights to create a variety of shapes. I also like how one side of the building is illuminated unlike the other because it shows the rich, golden colour of the building which makes it feel as if it is a warm and welcoming atmosphere to the space and others whereas the other side is darker and more dismal, showing no signs of life which can create an unwelcoming and cold atmosphere which can make people feel as if they don’t want to go in there. There is also a level of personality and uniqueness which is brought into the photo through the sign which is position on the side of the building and taken so that it is in full view of the photo. I really like how Rut Blees Luxemburg decided to add this in as it creates a backstory for the photo and you wonder why she has taken it and if it holds any significance to her.​

In my work, I am going to take photos during the night (and some in the day too) which is like Rut Blees Luxemburg’s work because I like how the lightning can create different shapes, feelings, shadows, etc. I will be taking photos of various office buildings and other industrial areas where they have modern straight-lined shapes on them because I like how it can create a sleek, repeated look to the photo.​
