Here are the photos I took during our 798 field trip:

“Yellow” Photographs

I chose the photos I did for the yellow pictures because I think they fit the requirement of being inspired by an abstract photographer while having my own style. Although the images aren’t exactly in the style of Angie McMonigal, the artist I chose, since some of my photos are in color while his are all black and white, I include similar elements that she has formed. For instance, most of her photos are of buildings and nature, with obvious contrasts of tones. I also try to use this style of finding shadows to capture the detailed type.

“Green” Photographs

Below are my “green” photos selected from the “yellow photos.” I chose these images because they best relate to the artist and include my style. Following this vision, I took photos of architecture, scenes, and objects, such as buildings, humans, chairs, and walls.

“Red” Photographs

Finally, below are my six “red” images, chosen from the “green” ones, to reveal the six that best relate to Angie McMonigal and show my vision. Out of the six photographs, the image I would like to highlight is the first and last photographs. These two photographs are similar to one of McMonigal’s photos I evaluated in the blog post Sets 1: Artist Selection because of the deep contrast between the structure and the background.

In my photo, you can also see the tone of the building contrast with the gray sky, with a shadow and the empty spaces. This slowly pulls the audience in and parts of other buildings into the frame. I think black and white tones create a sense of loneliness and lack of contact with people.
