For this being my third and final photoshoot I wanted to make sure I captured more than enough images. I took around 100 – 150 images at these locations to ensure I wouldn’t need to go back. This photoshoot was carried out on the same day as my Waterfront photoshoot because of how clear the sky was. I tried experimenting with different angles of where I was taking the photos to try and involve the blue sky in most of my photos. The structures at these locations are much less complex when compared to the Waterfront which is good for my simple side of the project. I carried on with the attempted theme of Matthieu Venot but I wasn’t trying to replicate his images. Also, these buildings only contain a small amount of colours which is what I was aiming to photograph before going on the photoshoot.

Editing Process

To begin this process I started with the basic P and X flag method to identify which images I was going to edit. Also, when rating my previous images I rated the rest of my photoshoots so the images below have also been rated from a scale of 1-5 (1 being worst and 5 being my favourite). Shown below are the images I want to further develop:

Best Unedited Images:

Black and White

Next I wanted to see how effective my images would be in black and white. I did this to try and experiment the style of Helene Binet as all her images are displayed in black and white, however I much prefer my images with colour and I like how the blueness of the sky contrast with the dull coloured buildings.

Favourite Edited Images

For my final prints I wanted to include some images that are displayed in black and white because I didn’t want to only follow one artists style. Also, the more simple, close up images look a lot better in black and white due to the sky not giving a great contrast to the close up features of the buildings.

Evaluation

Overall, I am very happy with the quality and amount of photos I produced, however there are some images which didn’t turn out the best with bright skies and out of focus images. For my edited images that aren’t in black and white I wanted to attempt to follow Matthieu Venots style again but then differ over to Helene Binets style of monochrome, close up images. In this set of images I seem to prefer the black and white range because the shadows create a really good contrast to the light grey sky. Also, I believe I gained enough images to not have to go back to these locations and focus more on another Waterfront shoot due to a lack of images. I could of improved by taking more close ups of corners of buildings to create more monochrome style images but overall I am very happy with this photoshoot.
