Urban Environments

After previously photographing a series of rural and urban locations, I decided to continue with this theme and photograph more vibrant urban locations. I have taken these photographs because I feel that they portray the real 'hustle and bustle' of large cities and urban environments.

I particularly like my photograph of the Eiffel Tower. I have edited the image using photoshop to enhance some of the colours; I think that by doing this, I have turned a 'nice' photograph of the Eiffel Tower into a much more bright and interesting photograph. I have done the same with two of my other photographs below. I think that by enhancing the natural colours within a photograph, it makes the eye travel around the photograph more. It has a slight cartoon and non-realistic effect which I quite like also.

I really like my photograph above; I love the bright colours which I enhanced using photoshop and also the angle and how the whole street is seen. It makes the photograph look more realistic and 'pop' out of the page. I also like how I have made the bright colours of the traffic lights very bold and they are right at the front of the picture.

People in Locations - Donna Ferrato

Donna Ferrato has taken a number of photographs of people in different locations. Like my own photographs, the person or people are the main focus and the images are portraying a strong emotion.

I particularly like the image above as I think that it portrays a similar emotion to that within my photographs. Distress, upset, anger and dispair are the emotions Donna Ferrato likes to express through the majority of her photographs; I would like to continue photographing people and locations which display these emotions strongly.

Locations - with people

I very much enjoyed photographing locations with a lot of emotion, particularly graveyards which are full of eeriness and have creepy atmospheres. I have decided to continue with the same theme and emotion. However, I am very interested in photographs with people in them and how they can change the emotion within the location. I have decided to photograph indoor locations using people or a particular person as the main focus. My images are shown below and they all follow the eerie sentiment within my previous photographs.

The girl/man are the main focus in each of the images but I like how the location is so bare and old in appearance that it adds to the emotion of the photograph.
