Personal Study: Final Images and Evaluation

Final Images

These are my final edited images. There is a total of 108 photographs. I believe in quality over quantity and think that there is definitely some stronger and weaker images within this group, therefore, I am going to make a final selection of my best images.

Best Images

These are my best images. I went through my final images and annotated the ones which I thought were best in blue. These are the images which I will display in my photobook.

Evaluation/Comparison to Photographers

Keith Dotson

My Images

Keith Dotson’s Images

Comparison

Above you can see both my images and Keith Dotson’s images. The composition of my images are very similar to Keith Dotson’s, however, my images have less contrast and lighter tones. This is potentially due to the fact that many buildings he photographed were built with bricks whereas mine were painted walls. This makes Keith’s images darker with more shadows and textures. I would have hoped for this same outcome, however, I couldn’t find any buildings similar. Furthermore, I think that I could have improved my images by giving them more texture and contrast as some of them are quite boring and muted.

Alex Upton

My Images

Alex Upton’s Images

Comparison

Above are both mine and Alex Upton’s images. The main difference between mine and Alex Upton’s are that my images are monochrome however his are in colour. I personally think that some of my images are very similar to Alex Upton’s in terms of composition. Here are some examples:

Additionally, my images also relate to Alex Upton’s as they both have harsh lines and contrast. We have also both displayed buildings in an abstract way, emphasising their geometric shapes. Finally, I think that my photographs turned out great considering I am in Jersey where there aren’t many modern, high-rise buildings.
