For my first photoshoot, focussing on urban landscapes, I began at the top of fort regent which I didn’t like and then I went into town to the financial district which is full of many office buildings which are very modern which simple square/rectangular shapes. I explored a range of different angles to explore the variety of lightning and shapes which the offices provided. I really enjoyed this because I like how the darker background as I took these during the evening contrasts against the bright, white lights of the building which illuminate it and bring it to life.

These are my best shots which I have chosen from my photoshoot which I chose on Adobe Lightroom by uploading them and then going through them by selecting them by pressing ‘Z’ when I liked a photo and thought it was successful. Next I will be choosing 4 pictures to experiment with and edit on Lightroom in my sleeted photographers styles.

My 4 photos –

Throughout this photoshoot, I gathered 16 photos which I think are my best shots to show a urban landscape which I can edit and experiment on in Adobe Lightroom. I really like how these 4 photos turned out because they are able to be similar to my photographers work, Rut Blees Luxemburg and Thomas Struth, as they both focus on taking pictures of office buildings whereas Luxemburg does this at night which I did for this photoshoot and during the day will be my 2nd photoshoot. I wanted to focus on the angles ad shapes which have been illuminated due to the lighting from the office buildings in this and I really like the photo of the underpass as it shoes 2 cars going opposite ways and the dark, orange lighting makes it look old and rustic. In Adobe Lightroom while editing I’m going to experiment with different filters such as black and white and different ways to crop the photos to make them look unusual and solely focussed on the buildings with little background.
