urban photography
Much of the world's population live in urban surroundings. Photographers have been using this as their inspiration and capture images that tell a story of human lifestyles. I have chosen to look at the topic of the urban landscape using 3 different starting points - Abstract, Repetition and Capturing the moment.

I am particularly impressed with these 3 photos because of the sharp edges and eye-catchy colours.

repetition |
Michael Wolf has used the urban landscape of many cities to inspire his work. His photographs show the patterns and repetition within the architecture of these centres of human population. He has framed each image to focus the viewer's attention on the structures that overlap. In some of his photographs he has captured a moment of human interaction within these permanent gigantic structures.

my response using ghosting
I rotated this image so that they would be the same on both sides.

After I rotated the image I layered them so that they looked as if it was a reflection of both images.

Finally I rotated it 180° and layered it with the same image as it was before it had been layered. I increased the contrast so that the black lines in the image would be more visible also I increased vibrancy for the brighter colours.

The photographers I have been studying are Michael Wolf and Moholy-Nagy. I have studied them in class and I have learned how to take pictures in the styles of those photographers. Also how to take pictures from a variety of different angles.
I have experimented different techniques, and took photographs in the style of a variety of different photographers.
