Built Environment Research

The next photographer i would like to look at is Nick Meers. He is another photographer that i noticed in the National Trust magazine. I chose him as his work has a lot of atmosphere and is very varied in content.

The colour is quite striking in this photo and makes it more interesting than it would have been otherwise.

The composition of this image is what makes it work. Getting the patterned circle on the top third with the light pouring in below it and the two alcoves either side was down to careful positioning.

The image below is made up of the pattern created by the roof timbers and also the texture of the wood itself.

This photograph in particular stood out to me as it seems to have a story to tell. The building is clearly very interesting and the places the light is falling give just enough away to the viewer. The staircases are positioned so that they seem to flow through the image.

I also really like this image. The shape of the staircase appears quite unusual and the position of the camera really accentuates the perspective.

This image is an example of a natural frame for a building.  Also it conforms to the rule of thirds as the building is positioned approximately a third down from the top and the pillar is roughly a third in from the right.

As with the other research the depth of field is far reaching to cover a large area of focus.

Here the rows of bushes are used as a lead in line to point the way to the door of the building.

This is another example of framing. This time the use of a gate makes it more of an invitation to the viewer.

Aspects i would aim to include are perspective and use of light to create atmosphere.
