What went well was i was able to use various location to capture large buildings and historical monuments. Furthermore, i used untraditional building where you would not initially believe you can make the building look tall (hallway). However, it could be better if i were to take pictures of more skyscrapers and extremely taller buildings all together instead of one separately but for the time i was given to take the pictures i was not given the opportunity to go to an area with multiple tall buildings but if i were to improvise, i could create the same effect.

In the 1970s, Los Angeles photographer John Divola began photographing in abandoned, often dilapidated houses. With his series Vandalism (1973–75) and Zuma (1977–78), however, he didn’t just photograph houses. Here, Divola describes how he manipulated the environments with painting and other interventions as a way of “vandalizing the tradition of photography.”

Focusing solely on the phenomena of trees sprouting from residential buildings in Hong Kong, Wild Concrete compares the living conditions between plants and humans. Such peculiar sight of ‘wild concrete’ is by no means exclusive. They can be found everywhere in the heart of the city: roots spiralling down the external pipes of a Mong Kok loft; shoots lurking behind a window frame of an apartment in Central hills; or branches spreading across a residence in Sham Shui Po, collapsing it from the inside out, photographed by the photographer Romain Jacquet-lagreze.

What went well was i focused on individual plants more which added for texture and the contrast in colour of the images. However, it could be better if i had had used a higher shutter speed, the images could appear still in movement which will emphasise finer details in the pictures, as the images have a slight blur.
|
What went well was that i placed the upside down images in position where the images sync together. Furthermore, not all of the images sync together which creates vibrance. Additionally, i took into account composition in each photo which makes it look more pleasing to the eye. However, it could be better if i were able to make the images sync more together to make the images somewhat flow into each other. Also, if i were to experiment with more shapes, i would be introducing a sense of creativity.

French artist and photographer Georges Rousse, converts abandoned or soon-to-be-demolished buildings into surprising visions of color and shape. Rousse translates his intuitive, instinctual readings of space into masterful images of several “realities”: that of the actual space, wherein the installation is created; the artist’s imagined mise-en-scène, realized from a single perspective; and the final photograph, or the reality flattened.

What went well was that I used images which have a sense of dullness. Therefore, these images help the colour areas stand out in comparison to the loneliness of images. Moreover, i took into account creativity by layering the colours together to create an unexpected pattern, also creating a depth of field. Additionally, i focused on the composition of the images. However, it could be better if i experimented with different shapes when i am given access to them and would experiment with using the colour to add composition to the images instead of the objects in the images. By using different shapes, it would make the colours even more pop.

Merve Özaslan created the Natural act which is composed by several collages based on the questions of the relation between nature and the humanity. 'It is basicly a critical presentation referring to the fact that each of us is part of the nature'. It seeks the answer whether greed, urbanization, mechanization and detaching from the nature is favorable or coherent for human or not. In that sense natural act appears with its all colors when our emotions are paralysed in the vital points of the clishe and dull city life.

What went well was that i had used the images which give a clear space for the natural images which made both somewhat blend into each other, creating a sense of realism. Additionally, i decreased the opacity of the natural images to further blend images together. However, to create a realistic Merve Özaslan. photograph, the natural images need to be layered over less assumed places (swimsuit), adding more creativity. Moreover, i need to increase the opacity to fully recreate Merve Özaslan.
