Urban  Stories    

Pa:ern  

My  inten9on  when  taking  this  photograph  was  to  capture  just  the  top  half  of  the  building.  I  was  par9cularly  inspired  by  the  photograph  Johnny  Jetstream.        I  think  the  composi9on  of  this  photo  is  very  strong,  because    the  photography  is  balanced.  Also  the  nega9ve  space  makes  it  look  bold  with  the  strong  contrast  between  the  building  and  the  blue  sky.  If  I  were  to  reshoot  this  photo  again  I  would  use  the  building  in  the  centre  of  the  frame  with  nega9ve  space  on  both  sides.        I  captured  this  image  from  a  low  viewpoint  which  makes  the  building  look  bigger  than  it  actually  is.  I  think  the  view  I  have  taken  it  from  makes  the  photo  look  professional.  I  have  taken  this  photo  sharply  in  focus.        A  lot  of  light  is  used  because  of  the  nega9ve  space,  and  I  wanted  to  edit  it  with  bright  colours.  There  are  very  strong  triangular  shapes  repeated  within  the  building  which  are  visually  interes9ng  and  eye  catching.  I  have  edited  this  image    to  and  transformed  the  dull  colours  with  bright  saturated  colours  I  choose  to  edit  it  this  way  because  it  completed  the  image  and  it  also  give  a  very  cold  feel.          Therefore,  in  conclusion  I  obtain  the  visual  results  I  hoped  for  because  I  successfully  took  a  picture  that  I  fought  would  give  me  a  good  result,  the  images  in  strongly  in  focus
