Review of my photographs..

I travelled just over 60 miles to Manchester to take my cityscape photographs, as i felt that i wouldn't be able to capture an image in the style of Joshua Davis in my local town. I went into the centre of Manchester, which was unusually quiet on this day, and chose an area which i found appealing and interesting. Photo's 1, 3, and 4 were all shot from eye level view, imitating the style of the photograph by Davis that i analysed in a previous post. Photo 2 however, was taken from a height of about 2.5 meters, looking down onto the street below. As the photo's were taken outside on a reasonable afternoon, the natural lighting was sufficient and left me able to edit my images easily. I used a high contrast and exposure on all of my images, to really show off the colours on specific things within the shot such as signs, bright lights and peoples clothing. On photo's 1 and 3, i then used a yellow tint, to give a more relaxed warm feel in the style of Joshua Davis. I wanted to capture just a typical city scene, leaving the viewer with a relaxed warm impression of the place captured within the frame. This is the reason for most of my photo's being taken as i walk along the city streets, stopping for just enough time to capture my image.
