Yellow selections:
For my yellow selections, I started capturing old architectures in 798 which will show my project’s message of bringing back memories of the old architectures with the use of techniques inspired by Paul Strand. However, the framing of the images was not ideal.
Green selections:
To reflect my vision of bringing back the existing old buildings and their memories of it I decided to change the color of my images to black and white. Having the images in black and white can evoke a mood from nostalgia to sadness to yearning, black and white images can simply convey an emotion colored images can’t, it makes us think of the past. This is also mostly because pictures from back then only had black and white, therefore, setting my photographs in black and white can even better show my message which is to bring back the old memories, I am not only bringing them back through taking images of it but also presenting it in the old way which can make viewers instantly resonate to their own memories or the memories of these architectures.
Red selections:
Every and each architecture is unique and can be seen from various angles, perspectives, and emotions. For my red selections, I have chosen three images that I believe best represent my message. It may be difficult to spot, but the three pictures I chose for my red selections are taken in the same place. Moreover, the second and third image is of the same architecture, we see objects from different perspectives and angles, each different angle we see the object a different message is conveyed. The use of black and white sets a tone for my images and expresses sadness or darkness, but also makes people connect to the past.
