Pictures: Flat Space

Picture 1:
This is the top of the light of picture 2. I thought it would be interesting to see if through flat space and perspective I could get the circle to look like it's flat on the ground. I wanted to black and white to focus on the lines and shapes.
Picture 2:
This is the light from picture 1. I thought I would make it more flat by coming up closer to the light. Also, I thought it was interesting from this angle because the light looks like a bell from a bell tower. I tried to use the lines of the outside of the bell to frame where I wanted the viewer to look.
 Picture 3:
This is right outside the HFAC. I wanted to capture the picture while it was still golden hour. I wanted to try to get a flat landscape picture. I didn't have anyone in the frame because I didn't want overlap or scaling to create it more deep. I thought the lines created this box feel.
 Picture 4:
The good ole AC switch. I love how close you can get to something that you see every day and notice things. I never noticed how the white covering is filthy and is not that white at all. I wanted the flat space but I wanted to shoot it more with a diagonal to create some depth for the writing.
 Picture 5:
I wanted to use the railings to split my image almost like split screen. I thought the orange popped nicely. I wanted to have the space be more flat on the right and then have some deep on the left. There was a bucket and broom right outside an apartment door.

  1. I really like that first photo. The way that it's framed really does make it look like it's lying on the ground. I like how grey and white it is, too. Just a total lack of color. The contrast in shape (circle vs. square) is also kinda cool.

  3. I like the contrast between the two sides of the frame in your last picture. Even though your subjects are plain, the color contrast, lines and framing make it rich and interesting.

  4. The box photo outside the HFAC is really interesting. It has vanishing points, but the boxing effect also makes it feel flat. And the lighting is pretty stellar too.

  5. I love photo 3. I totally can see the boxy feel you were going for, but I also think that the converging lines deepen the photo as well.
