Here is the contact sheet of the photos I took in Pinnacle Plaza trying to recreate the style of Ernst Haas.

Above are the yellow selections of all of my set 2 photographs. These photos all to some extent connect with my vision and share some similarities with Ernst Haas. For example, these photos all feature bold colors.

Above are the green selections from my yellow selection. When I picked these photos, I started to identify certain groups of photographs that go together due to their colors or themes. These photographs share a stronger link to Ernst Haas’ style and my vision.

Above are the red selections of my set 2 photographs. I chose these photographs because they I saw them as two potential combinations for my triptych. All these photographs share the elements of Haas’ photography style and vision, such as strong colors, balanced composition, value, and blur.

The first three photographs share a very orange and warm tonality. The three photographs all convey a different emotion. The first photo due to the cute avocados, makes the photo feel more light-hearted. The green color also helps give the photo a youthful feeling. The second photo is more formal due the the upright composition and the more aesthetic decor such as the flower pot and the wine bottles. The third photo gives off a feeling of solitude.

The second three photographs feature a cooler tonality, consisting of black, grey, silver, and blue. The first photograph uses the bright blue sky color to contrast the dark colors around it. It is also taken from window reflection which creates a double exposure. Similar to Haas’ photos of the reflections through the windows of stores in New York. The second photo features the motion blur that Haas is famous for, it depicts a moving car, inspired by Haas’ photographs of moving cars on the streets of New York. The third photograph is similar to the first photograph. It uses the big greenish-yellow avocado poster to contrast the dark space on the right side of the photo. Looking into the dark space you discover that it is an indoor expanse and that this photo is a reflection taken through a window.

In my next shoot, I will try to go to a better location that resembles more of a city, so it is similar to Haas’ street photography style. I also shall take more pictures of people because photographs of people usually have more storytelling qualities to them.
