For this project, I wanted to take pictures of a timber pile near my house. I think this will fit with the idea of binary opposites as the pile is in a field and contains man made objects, such as wooden grates, plastic covers, pipes and chairs. Furthermore, I think it will fit with the theme of ISLANDNESS as it mirrors the idea of natural vs. man-made or nature vs urban, which is important for Jersey’s residents.
Contact Sheet
Editing Process
From the contact sheet, I narrowed my image selection down to around 20 images
I also gave the images a star rating to further narrow down the selection
Best Images
From this photoshoot, I have ended up with these images which I consider the best from this photoshoot. I like these images because each of them have elements from both a natural and man made subject matter, as well as that they look visually pleasing.
Evaluation
I’m happy with this small project as I think the images, as I have said prior, match with my initial idea of using the binary opposite of nature and man-made subject from within the same image. I think the effect this creates is effective and could link well to my personal study, I could revisit this site for that project with a different theme/topic at a later date for my personal study. I took these images at a later time in the day, so the colours in the natural parts of the images such as the grass, trees and leaves, are vibrant and contrast greatly with the darker, less colourful man-made objects.
