These are a few of the photos that were taken but aren’t apart of my final work. During the last 2 weeks of this brief I was just under the weather and didn’t have any inspiration or motivation to go out and wander around but I was able to get a few photos that I actually liked.
The photos I’ve decided to use are a combination of my coin toss and walking around the city. The idea initially was old and abandoned buildings in Central Auckland, however the buildings are either demolished or in a restricted area, so I thought of going for buildings that looked “historic”. I actually wanted all of my photo in black and white but I thought about my pinhole photos and thought back to how more light enters, the photo becomes over exposed; I thought I could have a few of mine over saturated since 3 were already in black and white, I could have the rest over saturated to show the difference between colours and how they become opposites of each other. Dieneke suggested that I use a different type of paper instead of the printer paper, so I used the tracing paper in all of them and it made the photos come out sharp.
I felt like I could’ve thought about my ideas a bit more and be more clear of what I wanted to photograph and present; not coming to school was a set back for me and caused me to rush my work. Although I’m not used to taking pictures of buildings, it did make me come out of my comfort zone and have a broader mindset.
