On Wednesday I went with two classmates into central London to take some more photographs in a different setting relating to my theme. Having thought about being in an urban environment and having that influence my work, I felt that the busy city centre would be a good location to take some photographs that would be relevant to me. However, I ended up not focusing on the people in the city, but on the architecture, statues and other structures I saw around London. I tried to take photos from points of view not commonly thought about, so that I could create unique, personal images that would be perfect for working with later on.
A selection of the photos I took in central London. I focused on finding interesting, abstract shapes and trying to come up with ways of working with them to realise my own worlds and ideas on top of them.
Thursday was spent editing my photos and deciding on a final piece to present on Saturday for the crit. I decided to go back through my photos looking for interesting structures with which I could create a city environment from my own mind. After looking through all of my photos I settled on one of my earliest pieces, and used Photoshop to add in characters and details that cemented the appearance of a city in my mind.
