Visual comparison Lewis Baltz

The photograph on the right was captured by Lewis Baltz, one of the photographers involved in The New Topographics, the photograph on the left was captured by me. Lewis Baltz image depicts the outside of a factory building, a stack of blocks can be seen in the image as well as a door and a ladder going up the building. My image on the right depicts a cave full of structural supports which have been vandalised with graffiti, the image portrays the impact that humans have had on nature. Both images have been shot in black and white although mine does contain traces of colour to add more life into the photo and make it more interesting for a viewer. The texture of the subjects captured in both images can be argued to be very similar also.
