Locations - with emotion

I have decided to look at locations with a lot of emotion. For example, Cemeteries and Graveyards have a lot of emotion. They tend to be quite eerie places and some, when photographed, look very spine-chilling. So, i have decided to photograph these locations. Two examples of my images are shown below



Amanda Norman has a series of Graveyard images which I particularly like. I like the way she has used black and white. It adds to the mysterious effect. Amanda Norman inspired me to alter the colours in my own photographs for a similar effect.
The photographs taken by Amanda Norman which I particular like are shown below.

Location - Jonathan Metz

Looking at Jonathan Metz's work inspired me to photograph more structural images of my own. I have based my new photographs on one of his images in particular. I love how it is photographed from high up so the buildings form strong lines throughout the image. I have attempted this myself in the photographs below.

I really like how the black and white effect has altered this image. Before, it did not look very interesting, but the black and white has highlighted small things that would have not been noticed previously and makes the road look darker making it the main focus; this makes the eye travel all the way through the photograph.

Location - structure

I am, and always have been intrigued by very structural photographs. I like the interesting angles that can be created by an image that is split into different sections by various methods such as the outline of buildings or the path of a river. I have taken my own photographs which I find very interesting through their structural aspects. These are shown below:

Whilst exploring structural photography, I stumbled across a photograph taken by Jonathan Metz. It is a very structural image of a view over a small village. I looked into Jonathan Metz and discovered a whole series of photographs based on structural photography. Below shows some of his images. They all photograph very different locations. Some are birds eye views, whilst others photograph a particular part of a location. However the structural aspects of each one makes them very interesting and relates them to each other.

Rural and Urban Environments - Mark Raymond Mason

Above are two of Mark Raymond Mason's Rural images. They are typical images of woodland which are throughout rural locations. He has also taken a number of images which are not typical photographs but they are representations of rural environments. Two of these are shown below

Mark Raymond Mason has also taken a series of images based on Urban environments. They are not typical Urban images but they do represent components of Urban locations.

These are shown below.

Locations - Urban Environments

I have always been interested in the contrasts between urban and rural environments so I have decided to photograph various locations in each environment. I love the busy atmosphere surrounding urban locations but photographing the peaceful countryside and calm rural environments was so inspiring.

My photographs of Urban locations are shown below. I have photographed these locations in the centre of London and Barcelona. I like the way the Rural and Urban environments are so different but both photograph well and have different sructures. However the architecture within Urban locations and landscapes that form Rural locations produce similar shapes which help make interesting comparisons between the two.

Locations - Rural Environments

I like nature and the environment and how it contrasts with busy city life. Above are my images of rural environments. Mark Raymond Mason has taken a lot of images of both urban and rural environments. I love his work and I will be taking more images based on the contrasts between rural and urban surroundings.
