Architectural
Photography – Evaluation
The
focus on the photographs above is very similar to each other; they focus mainly
on the structure of the buildings. In
the photographs I tried to imitate the focus that is used in the work of Simon
Kennedy who is famous for his architectural photography, which is too based in
London. The structure of the buildings all have similar type of style which
represents wealth which gives off an impression in which makes you think that
there is some form of historical background. I wanted to capture the uniqueness
of each of the buildings and show off the area in which they are built in which
show what type of people live in the area.
The
lighting of each photographs use only natural lighting which give the buildings
a kind of greyish look. The grey tones are associated with a sense of
seriousness and control; which gives off an impression that the life style of
the people that live in the area of the buildings are business like. The
colours of the buildings are all very similar as they are either a cream or a
brick orange with black gates or some for of balcony and unique windows; which
also sends a message of wealth and an idea of what the type of person who would
live in those buildings are like and what their life styles would be like.
Each
of the buildings have some sort of historical background to them for instance
if you look at the photographs below you’ll notice it is a form of memorabilia
of animals who lost their lives during the World war I and the World war II. Many
tourists in which go to London will look at that and see that London may be a
wealthy place but it is also known for many historical reasons and also may be
a reason in which why it is so wealthy.
If
you were able to feel the texture of the photographs id images that they would
feel quite rough like sand paper or brick that has been eroded by the acid in
the rain. It’s the same with Simon Kennedy’s work I think the texture of his
work would feel the exact same way; this is because the buildings look new and
sophisticated but they look like they have some stories behind them.
In
the images I didn’t really use the rule of three however I did use a grid,
which helped me position the camera in a way that would give me a sense of
style, and so that you can clearly see the structure of the buildings and the
buildings uniqueness.
