I went through each of my images and rejected the ones that were blurry, angled in an awkward way or lack the detail that I wanted to capture. I created images of my own, however I also created responses to my artist references: Bernd & Hilla Becher and Joe Deal.
Contact Sheets:
I created virtual copies of my favourites so that I could experiment with them in black and white alongside other tones and temperatures.
My Best Images:
(Bernd and Hilla Becher inspired images)
This image would be my favourite as I think the light has hit off the metal so perfectly so it didn’t require much editing. I think the composition has worked together well too by zooming in on a smaller area of these structures.
Joe Deal inspired images:
In this image I chose to shoot a construction site against a modern house as I feel this shows how modernisation is taking over from typical buildings and structures.
My own:
I took this image as I liked the contrast of the new modernized building behind an older, more timely structure as its a prime example of how society progresses.
Similarly, I shot this image with the same idea behind it. This structure used to be a part of an old railway track flowing around the island however, they are no longer is use. I wanted to capture this as there is black graffiti on the bench showing the change in timeline. I also wanted to do this as people would usually just walk past the many of these huts located around the island without even acknowledging the history behind it.
Similarly, I liked the contrast in this image with the new modern flats in the background of an obviously old wall as it shows the fast progression we have as a society. It shows the rise of modernisation.
