In my last work diary I mentioned that I was going to shoot an abandoned mental asylum, from this I was going to branch onto a manmade aspect of the landscape as i would then be shooting buildings and it would link quite nicely. Unfortunately, once I got to the abandoned building, it was no entry, and it was next to a very busy running hospital, therefore I couldn't sneak in. As a result of this I decided to go straight into man made as i already had plans for my next shoot. In this shoot I went to London and shot a garden in Westminster which had many statues within it, this then produced a vibe in which was natural vs manmade, which provided a contrast. Through doing this shoot, i found that I really liked multiple imagery to emphasise the amount of the aspect and show that is everywhere within landscapes. Also it made me think that I could show the exact same aspect yet from different angles, this could lead on to overlays, photo joiners, or big multiple imagery pieces.
In this image I have used multiple imagery on a wall from different zooms. I really like this picture as vines (a natural thing) covers a wall (a manmade thing), and it almost suggests that natural prevails over manmade. In this image I did not over edit the pictures individually as I wanted to enforce the idea of natural. I like the positioning of each image within the grid as I like how the one which zooms out completely and shows the wall, is in the middle, as i think it is more activating and suits this placing nicely.
In this image, i took a picture making the wall in central reservation, and I think this worked really well as it shows complete greenery (naturalness) on the left and then shows grey (manmade pavements) on the right, which produces contrast. In this image I turned the curves up to make the greens brighter to make them more captivating, which I believe emphasised the idea of naturalness due to the fulfilled colour in comparison to the dull grey.
Progression
In my next shoot I think I am going to go back to London to continue with manmade, however in more of an obvious way. I will do this by taking pictures of recognisable buildings (e.g. Parliament). I am very interested in the idea of colour with manmade as the colours tend to be very dull greys, and I think it is important to look at this as it has a comparison to natural which is flowers which are bright and captivating. I will continue with the use of multiple imagery as I really enjoyed it when using it with this shoot.
