Research:A Sense Of...
For my sense of I have decided to do structure. I want show show unique modern architecture in a different way, I want to show intricate details of the buildings. Overall the patterns, structure and the artistic approach to a lot of modern buildings are really interesting and I don’t tend to shoot this type of photography that often. I wanted to do something out of my comfort zone and experiment with different genres. I also like the look of buildings and structures on film, something about the idea of shooting something so modern on something from the past is so intriguing and full circle almost.
I like this image as it gives you a different perspective, as opposed to the most common angle which is eye level. The perspective of this shot creates an illusion of size, these buildings may appear big in person but in the shot they look a lot taller and are quite dominating. The long exposure has shown less detail and smoothed out the sky which gives the buildings more attention when you look at the photo. I think the fade of lightness from the darker portion of the bottom building to the top gradually getting lighter due to the daylight reaching that height more prominintly throughout the buildings makes the image very pleasing to the eye.
This angle is what I want to have in one of my final shots. This angle makes buildings look so much bigger than what they are, it looks as if its going pass the clouds because of how tall it is. I like the use of reflection on the windows on the building, creates a busier composition.
I like the use of reflection in this image hopefully when I go to shoot I could experiment with some reflection shots. I like this shot as it almost cancels out the rules of a classic architectural shot, it isn't as clean and its more nonchalant. The pattern of the building takes up the whole frame which I seem to think makes the image, if it was only have of the composition with the buildings it would appear as visually pleasing in my opinion. The photographers portrait is almost silhouetted, which I think fits perfectly with the image as if it was more lit then maybe the shot would be too busy and wouldn't have a direct focal point.
This photography has turned his image upside down to create his final shot, its of a river and has been shot underneath a bridge, when its turned around it looks like a typical photograph of a bridge but when its like this it almost looks like a whole new location, the patterns are still shown which shows structure. Its cool to see what simply turning a picture upside down can do to the whole perspective and thought process of an image.
When I was looking for my research I was only trying to find larger scale images and didn't really think of the structure of the buildings in more detail, when I came across this I mage it really intrigued and inspired me to think about shooting more close up images of structures, because that is how structure works, its multiple elements being brought together to make something of a larger mass. Throughout my shooting I will try both large scale and small scale images as I feel that would make my series of images tie together more seamlessly.
