Object Assignment

There is a lot going on visually in this photo and that is partly the reason why I chose it. There is a cropped feel to the photo because the image is not capturing the entirety of the structure. Also, this object that I chose to photograph establishes a "natural" or almost rugged feeling or environment. This is especially because with the tennis courts in the background, the structure almost seems out of place. The structure that I chose to photograph is a collection of wood that is now built into a structure for a garden. The industrial feel results from the materials that are going to be built into something but are not yet.

This photo captures the shape of the wooden rectangle well. There are no unequal spaces in this photo. The rectangle almost dominates the entire image but other wooden structures make up the background. There is also a sense of unity among the different wooden structures because they are all piled on top of each other. The 5 lines behind the wooden structures draws the viewer's eyes downwards.

This image has some contrast in it between the industrial feel of the fence and wooden structures and the purple, green, and yellow paint that make the words "eggplant" and "herbs". The fence also acts as a transparent object because we are viewing the other wooden structures through the fence. The dead looking grass adds to the environment of the photograph. The point of view of this photograph is from the ground looking upward at the structure.






I decided on these wooden structures as my object for this photography assignment because these structures almost seemed misplaced compared to the scenery around it. I really liked the paint that listed things that will be growing in this structure but as of right now, there is nothing growing. The shapes created by the wooden structure also had a visual appeal that really draws the viewer into the photograph.
