Assignment 3

Composition: In this image I wanted to capture the white door next to the brick wall and I increased the contrast to make it more dramatic.
Concept: In this image I tried to convey a sense of a picturesque and unpicturesque urban landscape. I wanted to capture the organic, rural-looking door against the brick wall, which looks more urban.
Method: In order to capture this image I drove around downtown East Lansing to find interesting spaces in an urban environment.
Motivations: My motivation for this image was to find a pretty image in a more dirty, urban downtown area.
Context: This image relates to the concept of finding beauty even in the most unexpected places.

Composition: In this image I wanted to put emphasis on the light in the background but still show the building that was under construction.
Concept: I wanted to describe the cultural phenomenon of monopolization and expansion in our society.
Method: In this image I walked around outside of a building that's under construction really early in the morning to capture the really harsh morning light above the building.
Motivations: In this image I wanted to capture a building that is built in an environment with a lot of natural surroundings.
Context: In this image I wanted to show that we are building so many structures that are blocking the view of natural beauty.

Composition: In this photograph I wanted to capture the rectangular shapes of the books.

Concept: I was inspired by cubism. I looked up cubist images and there were a lot of paintings of squares and geometric objects so I wanted to capture books on shelves to have a lot of geometric shapes.

Method: I brainstormed to come up with an idea for this image and then I went to the library and took pictures of books at many different angles.

Motivations: My motivation for this photo was to capture an image with a lot of rectangular shapes.

Context: I wanted to capture an image that was inspired by cubism but still showed a place. I wanted the geometric shapes of the books and to show that I was in a library so I included the door in the background.

Composition: In this image I wanted to have a figure in it but still make it foggy and hard to see. I also wanted to show the space with the window on the right.

Concept: In this image i wanted to show a change in time so I set a really slow shutter speed and stepped out of the frame after half the time it was open.

Method: For this image I used charcoal and put a piece of poster board on the wall and smeared it around the edges, then when I removed the poster there was a square of charcoal on the wall.

Context: I wanted to convey a change in time so I used the square of charcoal to make it look like a picture used to be there and I used the slow shutter speed to show the ghostly figure in front of it.
