Photoshoot 01 - Experiments
These are the photos I have chosen to manipulate both physically and digitally.

For these edits I used the object selection tool in photoshop to select the grey sky and replace it with a colour. I did this to create a pop art effect and contrast the gritter tone in the black iron bars. I chose to use the colours orange yellow and pink as they are often used in architectural interior design to promote emotions of excitement and joy. The colours create a contrast in the image and allow the evoke emotions of happiness in the viewer.
For this edit, I selected the background sky and made it all one grey colour. This removed the distractions from the piece and allowed the harsh lines of iron structure to be emphasised. I then removed all the distractions on the bars to create a cleaner and more powerful structure. This naturally enhances the image furthering the brutalist qualities of the architecture.
For this edit I split the image up into a cross-hatch pattern. I then edited the tones of the images the create geometrical patterns in the background of the image. This adds to the harsh lines of the building and creates a more visually interesting image, capturing the eye of the viewer and creating a more overwhelming narrative.
For these two edits I selected the two orange construction objects to emphasise the process of construction. The contrast between the dark structures and the bright orange of the building equipment highlights the harsh realities of constructing everyday architecture.
For this edit, I selected the different segments of the sky and edited the colours of them. I did this to represent the different ways that architecture can be seen. The process of constructing architecture can be harsh and brutal however, a personal touch can be added with the interior design or how spaces are used by humans. Making the places people live and spend their time personal to them.
For this edit, I overlayed two images and changes the colour values of the two separate images. By overlaying them I was able to emphasise the business of the leading lines, suggesting a chaotic nature to the construction of buildings. The contrasting colours highlight the separate images and convey the different ways that building can be seen by different people. This is dependent on how people use or live in spaces.
For this edit. I copied and mirrored the left image many times. I then overlayed the whole pattern with a different opacity to create movement and another layer of structure. I deconstructed the image and then reconstructed it creating a new pattern and structure. This emphasises the intricate process of constructing architectural buildings.
To create this edit I again copied and mirrored the left image to create a new construction. This again emphasises the somewhat messy and chaotic process of building, even if the final product can seem structured and organised.

For this edit, I followed a similar process of overlaying the images. However, this time a turned the whole of the foreground image to 55% opacity. This furthers the business of the image and allows the viewer to fully see the process of the construction.
For this edit, I overlayed two images keeping the iron structure in the foreground at 100% opacity. I did this to try to show the process behind construction and building development. This creates and interesting and varied image. The leading line of the central iron bar guides the viewer through the image and brings the to the busy background, highlights the process of construction.
