Triptych

I was hoping to create images with one object under cloud (or a clean background), for which I wanted simplicity and how to use blank to replace colors. It worked out amazingly well, and accomplished exactly what I wanted because, clearly, chimneys and buildings are sticking out under the sky in my triptych. My success criteria was simply to make photos that I thought was ‘interesting’ whilst following the abstraction rubric, and I decided on these three photos only because I liked the comparison between the background and the building itself. If any photographer inspired me, it was Stieglitz’s images of cloud, and how they were shaped without pattern, yet still in a satisfying way, so I tried to capture what i thought was the ‘best’ clouds as well, just to add some additional elements. I did successfully achieved my theme of loneliness, because there was only one object solemnly facing the sky, as if it was left out somewhere. I specifically decided on the side that the object was on, where I had to decide between right-middle-left, or left-middle-right. In the end, I thought that as more scattered it is, the more ‘lonely’ it is, therefore I made it so that all the objects was far from the others. The one personal part about my triptych is the emptiness I focused on, as it was something I felt since I was young and continued to adapt with. In these photos, my solemn was expressed quite well, and thats the reason why I chose these to be the triptych that explains me. I do hope viewers would take some time looking at the difference between clouds, as it shows my three different feeling to solemn and loneliness: Dream, fear, and sadness. Finally, if I had more time, I would capture one photo the same way as it was, but raining, so I had more to express about the sadness.

Set 2 Analysis

My Red Photo Analysis:

This photo shows an alley locked behind an iron fence thats corroded. On the two sides, deserted buildings stood tall under a dreamy sky, forming a strong contrast. The center of focus eventually points to the spot where the floor meets the cloud, but its seems very far, as if it could only be seen but not reached. The close up texture for the gate is also amazingly clear, so the audience could easily ‘feel’ the photo and build connections instead of only seeing it.

 

Jon Bilous Photo Analysis:

I really liked the overall use of color in this image. The whole photo is filled with bright paintings, white clouds and a very blue sky, which presented audience with a delightful mood. The overall focus also points towards the center, which I imitated in my photo, to a disappearing point. The use of shapes and texture on both sides was also an interesting use of element, which further included details for viewers to appreciate. Although this photo is not quite abstract, some of the key points became very useful for my set, and I learnt a lot from this image to place on my photo above.
