Cityscapes Portfolio
Artist Statement This set is made up of some of my favorite pictures from the last four drafts of my cityscape project. This pictures have been photographed and edited over the course of the past month. These all share a lot in common, firstly the backgrounds in each picture were all taken from the same spot and they were all taken within 30 minutes of each other. The fact that backgrounds were taken at a similar times means that a lot of the lighting in each picture is the same. The top layer (the face) is also used more than once and many of them are used several times. The pictures were also all edited in the same manner, adding to the similarity.






I think it's really cool how each window frames a scene. It's almost like a picture frame. I think the black and white really helps show that picture frame vibe even more. I really like the first one because of how small the window is in comparison to the blank space. I think that that really shows an interesting contrast.
ReplyDeleteI really like how the window frames and shows a different scene and aspect of life. I think it's cool how the outside of the frame is black so the viewer can really concentrate on what is through the window. I think what is trying to be communicated is that we as people should spend more time outside and less in our homes. I think these photos are very calming because of the balance of light and darks.
ReplyDeleteI like how symmetrical the windows and walls are because it contrasts to the image outside. The geometric shapes against the natural shapes play really well together. It is almost like a painting on a canvas, or a photo with a frame. I also think the black and white worked well to draw the eye to the outside world.
ReplyDeleteIn each image, it is very easy to tell what is outside and what is inside giving you an interesting perspective. each image portrays a different world outside one's house which pulls the viewer out or towards the center of each frame. In each photo, you show a different part of the outside world each time which gives a perspective on how the world is very diverse. Each window frames the outside world which makes it very strong and focused.
