Built Environment Research

The next person i am going to research is Ashley Franklin. I found his work in a magazine called Derbyshire Life. I chose this photographer as his images seemed similar in content to what i would be covering.

These photos are very much about the buildings in your local area. His compositions seem quite simple, but often combined with the other factors of the image give them professional status.

This is one of my favourites as i really like the perspective with the 'huge' creature by the 'tiny' building. This illusion is helped by having less depth of field so the background has less detail.

The time of day that this was taken was pivotal to the success. Due to both this and the weather conditions the photographer has managed to exploit the properties of the glass window panes and get lovely reflections.

This is another example of quite unusual perspective. The structure appears to be leaning to one side, possibly due to the position this was taken from and the type of lens used.

The light is very atmospheric here. It really adds to the photograph as it makes it look more historical.

The position of the camera was chosen so that the pews could act as lead in lines pointing the viewer towards the window where the most light and colour is in the image.

The colour of the sky is very important in shots like this. It really changes the mood of the image. Also the main focal point of the chimney is positioned along the first third in from the left conforming to the rule of thirds. The chosen content made the image a little different as well as the shape of the building adds more variety to the collection.

Here a tree is used to effectively frame the church, adding interest along with the cloud detail.

Aspects i aim to include in my work are interesting perspective, framing and sky interest.
