Yellow Shots:

I chose these as my yellow shots because they capture the essence of my vision – revealing the beauty in everyday details through a unique perspective. These images allow the audience to see many perspectives of the industrial sites, showing different shapes, forms, and textures. This highlights my vision of the importance of finding interesting perspectives and textures from old, rough sites.
Green Shots:

The green photos I chose support my vision more than the yellow photos. I changed them to black and white and edited the contrast and brilliance. This helps to make the shapes and textures I want to show more clear and stand out against the grey background. It looks more dynamic in black and white, unlike the dullness in the regular photo. It also helps to balance the subject and the background. My photos definitely focus on the unique angles and the different shapes and textures. I focused on finding cylindrical formed structures, such as the pipes in the industrial sites, as they showed many close-up details of the old pealing surface.

Red Shots:

I selected these three red photos from the green photos. I believe that these photos connect with each other and create my vision the most. I took the top photo at a low angle, which helps to show the details from the staircase. The staircase adds depth to the cylindrical form building in the center of the photo. The staircase also guides the viewers throughout the photo, seeing each part of it, from bottom to top. It helps to show different shapes, such as the rectangles from the staircase and the cylindrical form building. In the negative space, there are also some circular shapes to add to the photo. It helps to make the photo more balanced and not empty in the background. The middle photo shows a focus on the two cylindrical formed pipes. By turning it into black and white, there is a contrast between the darker parts and lighter parts of the pipe. It makes the pealing surface details look more dynamic and visible. The shape is also very interesting, as the body part is in a cylindrical form, while the top gets sharper. The pipe behind the first one is smaller, which shows a bit of symmetry, making it look more visual for the viewers. Finally, the bottom photo I chose shows a series of different lines, shapes, and textures. The main focus/subject is the two pipes in the center, as they are also cylindrical shapes and have many details showing lines in the curving parts. There is a high contrast in the photo, making the pipe look very bright and the pealing surface very dark. The contrast makes the photo more dynamic and abstract for the viewers. The background is also very busy, without much negative space. There are more lines showing thinner pipes and other thicker pipes connecting the subject and the background. Overall, one main focus in my photo that fits with my vision was taking photos with cylindrical or circular forms. It is also similar to many photos from Albert Renger-Patzsch, which was my inspirational photographer. This helps to connect my photos together, creating my first triptych on abstraction.
