Assignment 1

This project was called "The Poetics of Space". This project was influenced and based on the works of Gary Wallis.
With the use of photoshop I created these abstract pieces. I used three layers of different photographs and adjusted the opacity levels to get a specific effect.

These are 3 photos of my surroundings in the Old Main Building on campus. I took a photo of a spiral staircase, an abstract view of a stair railing and a courtyard. The viewer's eye doesn't really know where to focus and that was the intention.


This work is of an intersection in 50 Durban road. I took a basic view of the traffic going through an intersection, then I took a photo of the robot first going green then it changing to red. The robot is definitely the focal point and the background is very faded as it is just creating the scene, as the viewer's eye should be focusing on the robot.
 
I took 3 photos of a construction site near Scottsville Mall. I took one of just the general view of the site, then 2 other photos of the workers performing different tasks. This is my favourite photograph out of the 3 I have posted.
