Blog Post 8 – Statement of Intent

Shadows of Industry

I want my audience to think about how different types of architectures shapes our world, physically and emotionally, and the photo set would mainly be focusing on industrial structures and building. These structures are symbols of human progress, but they also leave scars on the environment and change communities forever.

I want my audience to feel a mix of sense of awe and unease. The sharp angles and shadows should drive their curiosity to explore same types of photography style online, and make them feel interested. I’ll get inspiration by looking for photographs that shows decay and texture in industrial spaces, like rusted metal, cracked concrete, or tangled pipes. Photographers like Bernd and Hilla Becher and Edward Burtynsky will guide me. I’m also inspired by how shadows can turn ordinary objects into dramatic shapes, almost similar to abstract art. Through stark contrasts and forgotten details, I hope to explore more hidden elements in abstract photography and its impact towards the audience.
