In this set of photos in my contact sheet, I wanted to take pictures of roads, and means of transportation, which is another important aspect of daily life. From most of the photos that I took, I can see two characteristics. One is that often times the roads and cars are juxtaposed next to a line of trees, creating a pattern and a sense of repetition in the photographs. The trees also create shadows in the photos, which I think if I change the tone and lighting of the photos to create a strong contrast in the different elements in the photo, could convey a sense of abstraction. Another set of photos that I like in this set are the pictures of the roads. I like how the white organic rectangles are lined up along the road, creating a uniform structure in the photo. One photo that I really like from the pictures of the roads is how an orange truck is juxtaposed to the road. The orange truck juxtaposed to the road does not go well with the rule of thirds, thus making the photo: “wrong”. However, I still think that this new element adds a sense of complexity to the photo, and allows the viewer to interpret the photos from a different angle. Another photo that I really like is the lady riding a bike interposed between the two set of roads. After applying greyscale to add a strong contrast to the photos, this photo conveys a peaceful feeling to the audience, allowing them sit back and reflect on the subject, background, and different techniques being used. In conclusion, I feel like this is another set of photos that shows the audience another facet of daily life. I am deciding whether or not to selecting some photos from these set of images for the final evaluation. (there was an error in Lightroom Classic that did not put a photo into the sheet)
